How many HQLs are active in MD?

[Blacksmith101]

Went active 3/21 #81xx

I believe that would be in excess of 90 per day for the the start of 2016

Thanks Magnumst I updated post #43 we are running 100 per day this year.

I am also debating it right now. I vowed I wouldn't but there are things I want to buy and I don't see myself moving to freedom any time soon.

I was holding off hoping a lawsuit would come about to get rid of this nonsense. I finally caved in after realizing it would take years for such a lawsuit to happen.

I have toys to buy and just sucked it up and got it! HK VP9 on the way.

Because there is no penalty for being past 30 days.

Interesting. The Livescan fingerprinting service up here, stated that your finger prints are only good for 30 days after they are taken. Is this a catch 22?

MSP actually states that the Livescan prints expire after 72 hours. I've seen people successfully submit a good amount after that, but that is technically MSP's position.

The MSP are required to issue or deny within 30 days. The problem is there is no statutory penalty for not doing that. Usually the prints are processed before the 30 days are up. Sometimes they are slow to print and mail.

If you read the poorly worded MSP web page the 72 hour requirement isn't required for the HQL. I'm not sure if it's poorly worded or actually the case.

Interesting. I haven't read it in a while, but the advisory I recall stated it was for all MSP Licenses, but was put out before the HQL was a thing.

83xx issued on 3/23

Bump to the top for a six month update.

Since half the year has passed we need to update this thread to track the progress of the HQL in Maryland.

Total Number Of HQL's In Maryland
See post #43 to see the history of previous years and numbers as of march of this year.

So what we need is the approximate number of a recently issued HQL, just the first few digits XX the last couple for privacy, The ideal one would be issued on or about 6/30/2016. The HQL's are numbered sequentially starting over each January 1st so the number of one issued at the half way point will let us track the issue rate. If you will post the date issued and approximate number I will do the math and post a complete update of post #43.

I went active end of May, last six are 0135XX

 

[Mark75H]

Have to recalculate ... for some reason May and March were the same month in my brain for a few minutes

 

[Mark75H]

Corrected calculation about 90 per day for 2016 as of the end of May

 

[Blacksmith101]

Have to recalculate ... for some reason May and March were the same month in my brain for a few minutes

From March 21 to May 31 would be 71 days.
3/21 = 8,100
5/31 = 13,500
==============
71 days 5,400 HQL's = 76 per day

Cumulative total since inception = 51,220 HQL's

I still would like the approximate number from someones HQL that was dated as close to the end of June as possible, they are probably in the mail and will arrive soon. The card has your name then the HQL number then the expiration date.

NAME
HQL - 2016 - XXXXXX
06/30/2026

Looking for 6/30 but a couple of days either way is close enough.

 

[george g.]

Mine went actice 06/08/2016 142xx

 

[Doitsouthstyle]

There was person on another thread on went active on 6/30. He would be a good person to find out the estimated number.
https://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=133986&page=149
He applied on 6/13.

 

[Slurms]

Applied 6/13, active on 6/30:

HQL-2016-0152XX

6/30 Update of Total Number Of HQL's In Maryland

The HQL's are numbered sequentially starting over each year so to determine the number issued in a year we just need the approximate number of a HQL issued in late December of each year. We can also track trends by looking at the HQL number and date issued to see if the average number per day changes.

2013 The HQL was only in effect for 3 months = 4,500 issued = 50 per day

2014 the number posted was issued in Dec. no date given = 15,150 = 41 per day

2015 the number posted was for end of Dec. after 12/29 = 18,070 = 49.5 per day

Total for first three years (1st year only 3 months) = 37,720 = 46 per day since Oct.1, 2013

2016 tracking (issued 3/21 8,1XX) 8,100 HQL's / 81 Days since start of year = 100 per day

2016 tracking (issued 6/30 15,2XX) 15,200 HQL's / 182 Days since start of year = 83.5 per day

Running total of all HQL's issued since October 1, 2013, start of program, to latest date posted (6/30/2016) = 52,920 = 53 per day since Oct. 1, 2013

While handgun sales have been stifled by HQL, I bet that long gun sales are booming in Maryland, particularly now that all of them are C&C, and many shops have done their legal homework and are selling some pretty tacticool MD legal rifles.

Could someone find the numbers based on NICS checks in Md this year?

here those are! 78,432 from Jan to Jun.
