How do you obtain the license? Just walk into the local MSP barrack after Oct. 1st with ID and a safety course certificate? Or is this still unknown?

This is the first I've seen the 9/15 date for the HQL app process. Last I saw, MSP's official position was that they planned to have it up by 10/1. Can you direct us to where the Sep date came from?
There will be NO requirement to get an HQL if you legally own now and make no future purchases..is that correct? Only need one to buy after Oct. 1?
Personal communication with MSP. September 15 is a target date, as I understand it, not a guarantee.

The plan is for the application process to be available on line, perhaps as early as September 15. If you already lawfully own a regulated firearm, you will be exempt from the training requirement, but not the fingerprinting requirement.
This is correct. It may be of interest to note, however, that those who establish Maryland residency for the first time after October 1 will be required to register all regulated firearms within 90 days of establishing residency, and pay a fee. The MSP has prepared a new form, designated 77D, for this purpose. The same requirement would apply to a current Maryland resident who moves away and loses legal residency, and then returns in the future to re-establish legal residency. This appears to be a straight registration requirement and does not require the HQL.
If my family business wasn't so deeply rooted and dependent on this area I would move in a heart beat! I already informed my son that when I retire his mother and I are moving to the Carolinas where people still have the right to live their lives with freedom and get away from these ridiculous tax burdens that this Socialist state is known for. This whole HQL is a joke. "firearms safety act" my as$!
