Current wait times for HQL and or HGP/CCW

[ked0607]

I have just wandered back to the world of slinging lead down range. I am in the market for a newer addition to the fleet. Have not purchased a gun since 2012 so no HQL or HGP. Just recently went to the range for the first time in like 12 years as well. Prior service with honorable discharge so training isnt necessary. Prints are scheduled tomorrow. What the turn around time for each? Also is it possible to do person to person transfers at the MSP barracks or do you have to go through a FFL dealer? Went to Chantilly and needed a mop for all the drool of the new goods on the market. Def need to scratch my itch just curious how long the itch is going to have to wait.....

MSP only does handgun (and stripped lower IIRC) transfers. No rifles.

You will also want to become a "Designated Collector" so you can buy more than one every 30 days.

Once you get your HQL, and you have made your new aquisition, apply for and obtain a Designated Collector letter from MSP.

It doesn't cut down on the 7 day wait or eliminate the 77R, but it does eliminate the "one gun every 30 days" requirement.

Current wait times for the HQL are about 14 - 30 days

My friend got hers in 6 hours recently.

 

[LGood48]

HGP first (30ish days currently) then the HQL is gratis!

My friend got hers in 6 hours recently.

Assuming that she did the W&C first?

No, just the HQL.

 

[308Scout]

No, just the HQL.

That's gotta be a record for the HQL only.

I recently sent in my first renewal and got the permit in hand in 18 days

 

[ked0607]

HQL submitted Friday after 4pm. Approved today by 915.... So in theory it was 15 minute approval

The MSP workday starts around 6 AM.

The MSP workday starts around 6 AM.

But the first hour or so is coffee and donuts.

They open @9. So I don't suspect anything is done before then......

What makes it appear to be 6 AM is the batch emails that the server sends out at 6 AM every day. I guess it doesn’t matter what time the trooper actually pushes the send button the email server doesn’t push them out until the next day.

I got my email @ 11:25 am this morning.... Maybe things are changing.....

The morning crew works 6-2, others work 9-5. Some work 10-6. The call center covers phone calls until 3-330.

That’s the time your server brought it to you. Look at the time it was sent from their server.

He's referring to an HQL, not a 77R.
