    Good morning, from southern MD
    New to this whole process... Well at least in maryland. It sucks. Lol
    My wife and I have a small business and I work a full time job. But as our business grew and having to install a safe cause we could not make it to the bank all the time. We both saw the need to start this process.
    I am not new to guns but lets just say I am. I know enough to get in trouble but not enough to get out. So I came here cause I seen there is a lot of information here and one big part of gun ownership is knowing the law. Which I do not. So I am trying to lean as much as I can and research as much as I can. I know firearm safety well and I did have my CCP in Pa for 4 years. I have shot and owned quite a few firearms. But for the last 10 years or so I have been out of the game completely. So everything is very new to me... So i might ask a lot of noob questions.

    One thing I asked over in the other section was about the HQL's. My wife got her's already in under 5 days yet mine is still pending. On the check list I saw 3 section say incomplete... So i did not know if I needed to give it more time or if I need to be worried.

    Welcome aboard. Noob questions not a problem, especially since I'm a noob myself. About your HQL, it does sound like something is missing from your application. Section 3 might refer to the training requirement. Did you get the completion certificate, or your DD-214, submitted properly? Might be worth looking into. Just for info, my HQL was approved in two days and the actual license arrived in the mail on the 10th day after submission. Good luck with resolving the issue.

    Sorry I did not t mean section 3. I meant in 3 different sections. I have to go back on and look to see what there initials were. But if I recall is was NICS, CJIS and JIS.

    In the boonies of MoCo
    NICS CJIS and JIS are all background checks. That they're not complete just means they haven't been run yet, or have been run and are pending results. Shouldn't be much longer.

    Hi and welcome to the forum.
    When I did the application for my HQL I also had a issue that was pending.
    For some reason I got locked out of my account.
    The easy fix was to call the MSP at the number listed at the top of the application sign in site.
    They were helpful and courteous.
    Turn around time for me was 9 days.
