First time ever having a 77R take longer than 7 days:

[308Scout]

I submitted a 77R to purchase a second handgun at the end of October. I received an email with an application and pin number but not email of not being "disapproved." When I checked the status it said "application submitted." Did I miss something on the form or is taking longer than 7 days?. Any thoughts? Thanks

Did you go into your LGS to start the transfer and provide them with the App# and PIN to get the ball rolling? As noted, the 77R is not actually submitted for approval until the LGS enters their info, information on the gun being transferred, and you pay MSP their $10.

Apologies but what is LGS? And, as you can figure I missed that. Thank you for the reply.

Local Gun Shop. Once you decide what to adopt, they’ll submit the 77r and the 7 day gun jail sentence begins

The longer answer regarding what Doc said is that you take that email with your application number and pin to the gun store you are buying from. They then enter information on their end to the state police (what make, model, year, barrel length, caliber, serial number, etc.) You then pay a $10 fee (they'll charge you at the store) and that is when the 7 day period starts. Until you get the payment receipt from the MDSP, it hasn't started yet.

The memo MSP put out a few years ago disagrees that Veterans Day has no impact on releases. See attached. Yes, many holidays are on Monday, but not all are.

Again, per State Statute, which the above memo follows, if the 7th day is a Holiday, then the 7th day moves to the next day (Saturday) and the 8th day for release would move as well.
If the Holiday is on any other day (like the 5th day) it DOES NOT count against the 7 day wait.

What do people not understand about this process, as outlined in State Statute and reiterated in the above mentioned memo?

I'm not sure what you think I said that was different from what you wrote in the above quote. Or maybe you just quoted me due to my quote of a previous poster. I totally agree that a waiting period is not affected by holiday except if the 7th day falls on a holiday or a Sunday. I never said it had impact if the holiday fell on other than a 7th day...just that it didn't apply only to Monday holidays. And, yes, the example they used in the memo was of. Monday holiday despite the previous paragraph referencing holidays that occurred on the 7th day.
