Maryland Collectors Info from today

[blindnoodle]

I just called Cpl. Cusimano about my status. He is busy as you said but he tried to put me into the system but for some reason it was giving him a hard tom because the last gun I bought was a long time ago at a dealer that is no longer in business. He told me if/when I buy my next gun and I get back into the system under a different dealer it would be easier to get me into the system.

So if we never bought a gun they wouldn't be able to put us into the system period? That sucks

Gives you all the more reason to go out and buy something!!!!

 

[JoeGael]

Someone needs an actual reason to buy guns??

What is Cpl Cusimano's e-mail address?

I've e-mailed him twice at mcusimano@mdsp.org and both bounced back to me.

I've also called about four times and left messages- no response.

Been waiting since mid-August.

When I talked to him he told me that could be an issue.

Well ...not exactly. What he told me is, it would be much easier to do it if my name went in the system under a current dealers who is still active. I think it is possible to fix whatever is wrong at this time but not without him including whoever runs the other DATA bases.

He told me that he would keep trying, but if I did not hear from him telling me that he was able to get the kink work out, to just give him a call right after I bought my next gun.

The catch 22 for most of us is we want to be considered collectors so it will be for us as it was before the law of the "one gun ever 30 days" went into effect.

The reality is, at today's prices, who can afford to buy that many guns that fast...LOL

Don't Collector's automatically get the special 1993 or 1967 prices? I thought that was the whole point: pinned-barrel Smith & Wessons, $37.50 each...

I actually got a call from Cpl. Cusimano today! Voice mail, actually, asking me to voice-mail him my e-mail address so he could contact me with another e-mail for him. Does that make sense? Well, at least he's alive, or he was earlier this afternoon. He's still saying he has 200 letters to get out.

The email I sent him did not bounce back to me but he never replied to me like he said he would if he got my email. I will call him again some time next week .

Sounded good!

Jaybeez, that's the funniest thing (and so true) I've read in years!

Got my letter today. Sent the application in on August 12th. Called Cpl Cusimano and posted here on January 6th. Got my letter today, January 22. 5 months and a week. Did someone say they got a card? I just got a letter. But, hey, at least and at last, I'm good to go.

Wish I had some money.

 

[kwcraft]

Hell, if it would speed to process I'd offer to volunteer to enter the info if it means I get mine soon...

 

[smokedog]

Cordite congratulations , maybe this means they mailed a batch out from aug-sept . I keep hoping

If you recall in one of my other posts they were having trouble getting me into their system. The Cpl, C thought it was because the last dealer I bought from is no longer active. The Cpl asked me to give him a call back as soon as I buy mu next gun. Did buy a new gun. (well, new to me) and my paperwork was down at MSP this past week so I called. It turned out my paperwork was their the morning I called and so the Cpl tryed to put my name in the system again. This time it went right in without any problem at all.

But the Cpl told me (and I assume this goes for everyone) I'm in their system as a collector now but I may not get my paperwork/card/or whatever for some time because of how backed they are.

BUT!!! he also told me If I buy another gun before the next 30 day all I have to do is to just tell the dealer I'm in the MSP data base as a collector and I will not have any problem.

I just got a second copy of my letter (I applied and received mine in July.) So it's obvious that they went back and resent a large number of these letters... talk about wasteful rework. So if you applied recently you should be getting a letter soon enough.

I also got a 2nd letter a couple of days ago. I had applied sometime in June and got the first letter I think in Aug. When the 2nd one showed up I couldn't think why the firearms div was sending me something.

I just got a second letter also. Made me a little nervous seeing a envelope with that return address on it .

For the people who are receiving a second letter it may be happening because the lady who ran this collector program passed away in November.

The trooper who had taken over this job may not have known who had received a letter and who has not. So he may be sending out letters to some people who have already received their first letter because he lust wants to cover his bases and there may be some over lap.

I assume he does not want to leave anyone out.
