I put to enhance my personal firearms collection. It took 65 days to get my letter from the SP but now I have it and it comes in handy for buying more than one regulated firearm in a 30 day pd but it also gives you some more rights in MD when transporting your firearms.
Do you have to show that paper when buying? I have no ideal where I put mine.
No, your status is kept on file at MSP and there is a box to check on the MD paperwork when you buy a restricted gun ... from now on, just check that box and buy as often as your wallet lets you.
I believe it is now lauretta(dot)thompson(at)maryland(dot)gov or call (410) 653-4500
I mailed my application on 12/20 and received my approval letter on 1/5. Letter was dated 1/3. I thought that was pretty fast turn around considering the amount of activity they must be getting at that office and the holidays.
