MSP almost caught up on backlog?

[Mark75H]

No comments on the story ... no one signed up or is there a delay?

*whew* Now that all the data entry is done, they only have to do the 40-45 background check on each of those 38,000 applications. So let's see...

40 minutes x 38,000 = 1,520,000 minutes (25,333 hours) of work left to do.

Something still stinks.

According the MSP voice recording, initial reviews are on 5/17 and secondary reviews are on 5/11.

It is now September 15th and they have had all that extra help for a week so shouldn't they have shown a jump in progress?

I think someone who knows how should start making screen captures of the numbers the MSP are reporting.

For a call from my FFL in 3, 2, 1 ... <crickets>

Let's try that again ...

For a call from my FFL in 3, 2, 1 ... <dead silence>

Check the phone ... yep, there's a dialtone ...

For a call from my FFL in 3, 2, 1 ... <could ABC2news be telling a fib ?>

That's good stuff there.

That's only 12.18 working man years.

"All that help" had nothing to do with the actual background checks.

Two completely separate processes.

Yep, but now they have 30K-odd names, addresses, SS#'s, and make/model of firearm you have ... all in a database ... somewhere.

Can you say 'defacto gun registration' PRIOR to the Oct. 1st deadline ?

I just hope it's no worse than that.........

Yeah, if we're lucky Owe'Malley will just peruse it late at night and wack-off while he fantasizes about confiscation as the next POTUS.

You're correct, and I will say it..... defacto gun registration PRIOR to the Oct. 1st deadline !

All weekend the fax line for MSP was VERY busy. We didn't receive many "Not Dissaproved" back though.

For a moment I thought they were playing games and making the fax lines "busy" for the next 2 weeks.

According to abc the backlog is almost caught up. Lol it's amazing that they got so much done with roughy 2 weeks left. Link to follow

Lets all buy more and see what happens.

prediction: 10,000+ Not Declined faxes to FFL on 9/27 (or better yet Fedex'd - so they have tracking confirmation they were received), so MSP can say "not our fault FFLs didn't give you your purchase and you now need a HQL"

However if they no longer need to apply the resources that were working to clear the backlog those resources should have been available to work on the background checks. I would assume the background checkers were also entering data before they could check the background. Or were all the background checkers sitting on their hands waiting for a data entry person to finish inputting an application before the checkers did any work.

Data entry backlog taken care of by other people should result in more background checks completed by the core group otherwise why bother.

I think you are exactly right!

It doesn't look like there was a huge progress jump last week based on word coming out of the Licensing Division.

Why bother? Think nefarious. Think malicious. How many state agencies/people now have that information?

Things were going too smoothly with the release policies after the lawsuit and that darn firearms community was being too self-policing. Can't have that.

Ive got a bridge to sell you...

Alrighty then,

I agree but they can't give that as their excuse. I am just poking holes in the MSP story to show the real reason for doing all this, which we wern't supposed to notice, had to be something else.

So, for grins and fiddles, what would happen if every FFL in the state decided to a delayed mailing of all of their 77Rs to MSP? You know, mail them so they all show up on Sept 29th or 30th?

Some of us were discussing this today at the Howard County show, just curious.
