MSP 77r e-portal goes live 1-1-17

So I buy a gun tomorrow do I have to set up an account online?

Interesting enough, I logged out and back in. The list of applications does not have an expiration date. Also, now where did it ask me for a credit card.

The instructions say that the dealer enters the credit card info when they submit the application.

I would suggest setting up the account and starting an application prior to going to the shop if you are planning to purchase a regulated firearm tomorrow.

According to the democrats the Russians have already hacked into the new 77r e-portal and was the fault of former president Ulysses S. Grant. Apparently when the telegraph was new the Russians used a time machine to go back and plant code on the telegraph wire system which in turn found it's way to the new 77r e-portal. Speculation is that the Russians are buying all of the Glock 47's and using the "gun show loophole" to their advantage.

Thank you for the advice I'll open an account today.

I started the application and got to the page where it says to add files, I saved my application to that point. Where is this PIN number others are talking about, I got no PIN number.

 

[swinokur]

i don't think you get a PIN until the app is submitted to the applications queue

Well then that about explains it. But I don't understand the point of the PIN number, if you have the application number and you are doing it through the account you set up I'm not really seeing the need for a PIN.

 

[swinokur]

added security. if some one gains your email and password, it's comprimised.

just an extra layer.

not a bad thing.

Maybe the pin number is to be given to the FFL to complete the transaction?

 

[swinokur]

the PIN and application number must be used when at the FFL.

I'm glad to see MSP taking security more seriously after the 2013 77r debacle.

 

[swinokur]

Correct. You give it to the dealer. Also they can find it for you, if you forgot/lost it.

That's to easy.
And I can't read.

The dealer can click a button to resend the PIN to YOUR email account. He cannot see the PIN number himself.

Let's say you are havent filled out one of these apps. You are just browsing a gun store and want to make an impulse purchase. Do you then use the gun stores computer to make an application or do you have to go home and do it? Do any FFLs have a dedicated computer for their patrons?

I will have a dedicated terminal for people to use if they want to fill in out in the shop.

 

[swinokur]

well there's one.

 

[Sundazes]

well there's one.

Tylers was posting in his a while back the he was setting up dedicated stations as well.
I am sure most will. A laptop is cheap these days. Aren't the 4473's electronic now too?
