Email to and from MSP
Hello,
I'm sure you are very busy so thank you in advance for taking the time to answer my questions. I recently purchased a handgun and am aware of the lengthy backlog you have for background checks. The question I have is what happens after oct. 1 regarding my recent purchase? I have purchased the handgun but will it be able to be transferred to me after oct.1 or will I have to go through the new procedures(fingerprints, etc.) if the new standards will apply what do I have to do and when can I do it. If I have to I would like to get a early start.
Good evening, you will not be effected because of the new laws. If you have any other questions call me@410-653-4334 Rose Brock on Monday 17th.

As a regulator once mentioned in a meeting, "it's written in the regulation and cannot be interpreted around." This seems to be a similar situation. Unless there is ambiguity pertaining to the terms "transfer" and "receive," I don't see how the MSP can interpret around the terms. Call me a pessimist. I'll be an optimist once we see an official interpretation from the folks who promulgate the regulations.
