Lawsuit to force the state of Maryland to issue free email addresses please
Really? You are complaining about the requirement of an email address?
Considering the grounds on which voter ID laws are being fought, I quite understand the complaints.
A question...does the MSP system allow the saving of a pre-filled form? It would seem to me that a purchaser should be able to load in his HQL number and access a saved form with all the information filled out. Just as a convenience.
So, this will effect anyone who will be buying a handgun or lower after 1 Jan 2017. Buyer will log into MSP web sight to start 77r. You provide info for the same parts of forms you fill out today. You will need a valid email address. Once you complete your part of form you will get a code emailed to you. You bring that code to FFL. FFL will open application and auto populate 77r form with pulled down info from your data (FFL will use that code you were emailed). FFL qa's answers and corrects some items if needed. Ex wrong choice in sales type... FFL adds in info on weapon being bought and other info FFL normally enters on 77r. FFL then turns computer over to you to pay $10.00 MSP fee. You will need a credit card for that or some arrangement with FFL if you don't have a credit card. FFL submits 77r electronically and if all goes well you pick up weapon after 7 day waiting period like normal
Take aways:
- buyer starts process online
- buyer needs email address
- buyer pays MSP 10.00 fee directly and then what ever FFL charges for transfer direct to FFL given buying situation.

Some documents on the MSP site : http://mdsp.maryland.gov/Organizati...aining/LicensingDivisionTrainingSessions.aspx
The Licensing Portal Dealer Training Outline pdf in particular seems to imply that this would be done at the dealer on their computer. The dealer would be logged in and you fill out Part 1 and the dealer fills out Part 2.
I for one would not enter my info and credit card info on a computer I do not trust. Not saying that the dealers would do anything nefarious but more that they probably aren't keeping up with security updates.
They do not think anyone owning a firearm is mentally stable. They think we are all nuts to the core.
Jack... please don't pass my remark off as "just to complain"... everyone you know obviously has a computer and an email address. It may very well be the greatest thing since sliced toast... for you and me... and everyone else here in Maryland with an email address... Sad to say, in this day and age, I do have friends... with guns... that do NOT have a computer, nor an email address... nor a SmartPhone... I guess there is no room in today's society for people to be free of the tethers that have become the norm. Yes... I have all of the above, but to infer that anyone without these things should be excluded for "not catching up"? Without saying it... this IS what you are saying. Feel free to tell me where I am wrong.
With all due respect... Steve.
ETA... and please don't take this as arguing, just for the sake of arguing.
So does an applicant craete an account separate from the one used for the HQL?
Really? You are complaining about the requirement of an email address? This is one reason lawmakers and public officials don't take the 2A community serious. You will complain about anything.... just to complain. There is no perfect fix to this screwed up system Maryland has in place. But this system will drastically save time. When people were waiting six months for an approval and had no idea where their application stood, they were emailing the msp constantly. They didn't mind giving an email then. This system is designed to prevent any further debacles like the background check delays. They have made hundreds of other improvements as well. I am the first one to complain when the MSP is doing something stupid. But this may be the best thing that has ever been developed for the Licensing Division. I do see this opening up doors for the 2A community. Especially on the 7 day wait and one gun a month rule. But come on. Are you really complaining about giving an email address?

Not what MSP trainers put out. You can enter your data from comfort of home.My understanding is that this process takes place at the FFL. You do not enter information in advance from the comfort of your home. You do it at the shop where you are buying the gun.
that was my rudimentary understanding. you give your email address and PIN to the FFL after completing your initial registration at home and he fills in the gun and dealer info and submits it to MSP.
