MSP holds them now. Value added service. If they are receiving 800 apps a day and processing 300 there is now way they will process two apps in 30 days

Exactly. Might as well queue them up.

Well at this rate, when I put in my paperwork I was told currently it is a 30 day wait, since it is now a 60 day wait I am predicting a 120 day wait for you, so roughly mid August... :sad20:

I just talked to MSP and asked about this. You can submit paperwork at any time. If the MSP reviews it prior to 30 days after you PICKED UP, the previous one, they will process the paperwork and mark it that the firearm cannot be picked up until XX date (30 days past the previous PICKUP DATE).

Submission and approval date have nothing to do with it. It is 30 days after you RECEIVE the firearm.

Then approval date has everything to do with it. You can't pick it up until it is approved. MSP has no clue when you picked it up, so they would go by the date is leaves them - thee approval date.

The form asks if you have purchased within the last 30 days. A purchase is considered complete when the firearm transfer is complete. So, you can't submit until 30 days after your earlier purchase. If you do, you are falsifying the application form and risk rejection or worse.

If MSP isn't enforcing the law and will just post a date that pickup is allowed, that's great but not a game I'm going to play as the stakes are way too high and I'm not going to give them a reason to disapprove me.

Day 52. Still no word

slayr15 · Apr 13, 2013

Received my 1911 yesterday 64 days total wait.

You CAN and MAY submit before 30 days. Just say YES to the question.

I recently called MSP and asked about this.

They will Not Disapprove, but mark the paperwork to Do Not Deliver Before XX date. THe FFL may not deliver before that date.

Exactly - if you say YES. The way it was being discussed, the response would be entered as NO because the buyer had already waited over 30 days even though the purchase wasn't completed by taking possession.

The point is that from the day you "buy" (submit) to the day you "purchase" (when you pick up after the paperwork is processed) plus 30 days, you are in that window where you cannot submit a second purchase (unless you check the YES or are a Designated Collector. If you do and enter NO because your opinion is that you're on day 45 of your wait on paperwork and that's more than 30, don't be surprised if that causes problems with falsification of the app.

"Cub Scout Den Leader and AACPS Chaperon..."

You have to wonder just what databases MSP is poking around in. And when they found out that you worked with Scouts, what did they do, call the mothers?

musketbal · Apr 13, 2013

OK, so here's another reason why this whole application process is completely F%CKED up. My best friend who is a MSP Trooper bought a handgun back on Feb. 8th had been waiting just like everone else. Then yesterday he received a call from the FFL stating that his application was underfurther review because he has been finger printed in the past.What the F#ck????. He has been a trooper for 20 yrs so yea guess that happens like when you get hired?? This is the dumb shit that is taking place up there. OIh yea, they have hired more outsoarceing with more civilians. Hope your don't end up with this new group of idiots. They said the decision would be made in a couple more weeks.

Two damn calender months at this point. As stated many times, approved 3/29, confirmed by MSP. My FFL still says no fax received and to my knowledge has not called and ask for the fax to be resent. The bad part is, between me and my wife, we have 4 handgun purchases with this FFL within the last two months. I am done with this and will get them when I get them. No more regulated guns for me until this shit clears out. 35 days turns into 60 and it really pisses one off. I knew there was a modest wait and I was not okay with it but I was okay all in the same time. This has gone beyond ridiculous. I will just sit and wait for the call

Sirsly · Apr 13, 2013

Purchase/fax date: 02/20. 52 days today and still waiting for the call...... :innocent0

That's what I bought as well...except on 3/14. I'm guessing I still have at least another month to go.

They are doing a Field Mark check in the CJIS system which shows every time you were ever fingerprinted, be it for a clearance or for an arrest.
