After more than 60 days I have finally received "application for the purchase of a regulated firearm was Not Disapproved".

[gkearney01]

I am now told that because 30 days had passed I have to wait maybe 7 days for a federal recheck. Wow!

“Not Disapproved (just barely)”

How Does MD Svck?

Let Us Count The Ways …

When MD emails you that you are “not disapproved”, that is MD speak for you’re approved. So why do you need an additional 7 days wait? Something doesn’t sound correct.

You really should remove your address from the location in your profile.

NICS “instant” there is no seven day wait for federal. You need to deal with a different FFL.

This FFL needs to be outed as an idiot.

If it has been more than 30 days, the MSP has to do a NICS recheck. Sometimes that takes several more days, dealing with that right now with a customer who is not a "Designated Collector" and had to wait 30 days for the next purchase before he was allowed to pick it up.

Don't know how

He is “not disapproved” MSPLD is no longer involved

The ATF goes by the date it was submitted. So if it takes 30 plus days to get the ok then per the ATF it must be rechecked. Stupid but it shouldn’t have taken that long to get approved to begin with.

 

[Mark75H]

I am not understanding. I thought the NICS check and 4473 were normally done when you picked up the gun, not when you started the 77r or filed the 77r with MSP.

When a regulated firearm is purchased in MD, the first thing a customer fills out is the Federal 4473 form (Federal before State for paperwork per ATF). Then they must have a filled out 77r application that the dealer submits with the customer there containing the firearm info. The MSP during the 7 day waiting period conducts among other things a NICS check on the individual. The NICS check is only valid for 30 days, if it longer than that for the customer to receive their firearm then another NICS check must be run by the MSP before the Dealer portal on the MDSP website will allow us to transfer the firearm. Hope this answers some questions...

8th day release would have helped

Great explanation of process.

It happens often enough. The ATF is researching during that thirty-day period and likely found something they are looking into.

ATF is only involved because of the automatic reset. We haven’t been told they found anything

How is that?

 

[Ammo Jon]

It’s always funny to purchase a new gun and have a cooling off period and at the same time have more guns at home than some FFLs have in stock. “I’m so upset I’m going to murder someone but I need something new to mark the occasion.”

The ATF wouldn't provide that information; if it was a denial [Deny], then the information could be requested.

Some want the firearm released after seven days, regardless of the approval status.
