So it was not and they got pinged they didn't do it correctly and resubmitted on the Saturday the 21st?

When you fill out the 77r on your end, you receive an email with an application number and pin. This is what the FFL will use to look up the application and complete/submit it.

You still must pay the $10 and electronically sign the document. Many FFL's will also have you fill out and sign a paper version of the form.

What is the HQL for if I can't get the weapon still, or have to wait to be back grounded again?

I have lived in MD my entire life and the wife is getting a job in WVA and I am really considering of taking all the trouble to remove myself and taxable income from this state.

can you personally check on the applications online yourself? I pulled up my registration for HQL and it doesn't show any here. https://emdsp.mdsp.org/

The HQL is a costly hurdle and designed as a hinderance to handgun purchases. The same checks that are performed processing your HQL application are performed each time you purchase an handgun. Redundant? Yes. Inefficient? Yes. Unconstitutional? Yes.

As if a week isn't long enough to wait!

It sounds like I'm not the only one with a delay. Today is the 8th day after my application was forwarded to MSP (sent Nov. 20) and it still says under review. Ugh. I guess there was a holiday during my "7"-day waiting period, but that doesn't make any sense why that would delay the approval. Such bs.

Holiday delay has been MSP policy for decades.

Check your status online and make sure FFL did file it the same day.

I appreciate the tip. I checked the application online and it was filed same day.

I had a similar experience with a purchase I made last June. I sent them an email on the 7th day and got a reply the next day saying there was a "catastrophic hardware failure" and that they are working 24 hours to fix it. I just waited for the "Not Disapproved" email and got it on the 9th day. May be totally unrelated to your case.

I was a little P.O.‘d when I looked up the 77r I did last Saturday after not getting my email this morning, saw that the FFL didn’t submit it until Wednesday, 4 days later. That can happen too I suppose.
