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 the number posted was for an HQL activated on Dec. 30 = 27,900 = 77 per day
Running total of all HQL's issued since October 1, 2013, start of program, to latest date posted (12/30/2016) = 65,620 = 55 per day since Oct. 1, 2013
Want to see a liberals head explode? Just tell them that in Maryland more than 77 legal Handguns are sold every day of the year. Then you know where to find them, cowering in their safe place.
The numbers are showing a nice upward trend.
Based on my number, HQL-2017-0013XX, active today 1/16/2017 the average is over 81 per day.
I assume you were counting total days, not business days.
