First sign of life today! Got a letter saying a background check has been initiated and the DHMH section is done. No wood yet....

I've seen nothing since this. I am picturing some intern with a desk full of shit and eventually it all gets processed and I will see a lot of activity all at once. Frustrating I want a new gun!

I assume calling them is pointless?

Just an honest question...

Why is this thread still seeing so much traffic?

MD is in no hurry and will take 28-30 days to process nothing has changed nor does it appear that it will.

Just curious.

What if someone doesn't receive their HQL in the mail within 30 days?

Are there any legal consequences for MSP for failing to adhere to the 30 day regulation within the law? Or am I misunderstanding the 30 day regulation?

Still no movement at all....

I just got fingerprinted and submitted my application online today (training exempt). We shall see!

Submitted my application, fingerprinted, and took HQL class same day... haven't notice any changes either.

I created this account just to reply. Like you guys I have submitted nov 11. I got a letter in the mail about cjis, but in the activity log it still says unchecked. So im guessing this isnt accurate at all.

Well...I am definitely starting to get frustrated, but the ONLY consolation I am feeling right now is I am not the only one.

11/12/16: Submitted all relevant paperwork online
11/16/16: DHMH Completed

AND NOW NOTHING!!! It has been...what...17 days and I haven't heard a SINGLE thing. No letters, no nothing. I'm just hoping its active in 2016 for God's sake...

I submitted mine 11/15. DHMH 11/17 and nothing since then as well.

I did receive this a few days after fingerprints on 11/15.

Nope.....and I had no issues with the fingerprinting or anything. :mad54:

Mrlexed88 · Nov 29, 2016

Application 11/11/16 completed
DMHM 11/15/16 completed
Everything else unchecked as

Sounds like we are all in the same boat.

Do they others "checks" normally hit all at once?

I checked the morning of the 23rd and it had only two check marks on that list. That afternoon it went active so it doesn't appear that they update the chart too often. Any idea if you can purchase with just the licence number and not the card?

I "bought" mine without the hql. They're holding the gun for me until I get it. I just can't do the paperwork without the license. I believe you need the physical card, but my store said something about if I had the number. I think someone else could clear it up better for us

I did the same at a gun shop in millersville where I took the HQL class. Only reason they let me put a deposit down was because I took a the course there. I believe they can submit the paper work with just the number to begin the 8 day cool down Period but will require a photocopy when I pick up.

Worth a shot? Lol if so I must have been in the same class.

Cool, I might go ahead and do that then to start the waiting period. I ended up doing the online Texas hunters ed course and submitted that in lieu of taking a class in person. I would think that based on how long it took for mine to become active that you all should get it this week or next.
