MSP wait times for handgun approval

[DocAitch]

I purchased a handgun 10 days ago and it is home with me now.
Perhaps the pre 1 OCT purchases are in a different queue than the ones that are presently on greased skids via the HQL.

Bought my last handgun prior to the Oct 1st deadline. I'm not even going to start worrying about it until February....

Sweet... Waiting on a return from a mid Sept purchase still... Yet, I purchased another pistol last week and was told to pick it up in 8 days..... Guess it's the FFL's decision in the end regardless of MSP....( two different FFL's) Meaning, one actually takes the time to call MSP and the other doesn't....

They don't even need to call the MSP. They are allowed to release after 7 days if MSP hasn't gotten back to them with a denial. If you wait more than 8 days you're using the wrong FFL.

Yeah..... He won't release the lower, and it's been 3 months so far. He says it's not worth it... Meaning, he wants a definite answer from MSP..... His FFL, not mine. So I'm not gonna sweat it. But like I mentioned before, I've purchased a handgun since then, and received it in 8 days from another FFL... So, it is what it is I guess.... Just gonna have to wait it out unfortunately.

A little search on this forum would tell you which FFLs to avoid. This is not a new problem. If it makes sense to you that he released a handgun in 8 days but is holding a lower awaiting MSP approval, your logic needs a tuneup. Both are treated the same.

Two different FFL's... I wrote that earlier in two different posts not to confuse anyone. So I'll wait a little longer to tune up my logic....

 

[Straightshooter]

The logic remains the same. You excused the policy of the FFL who is still holding your lower. There is no excuse for what he is doing. That would be my last purchase from him.

Not really "excusing" him, but I can't do anything. I've explained numerous times to him that every shop I have called, INCLUDING the OTHER FFL that I purchased a handgun from a month ago, released in 8 days....

Again, his FFL... And I respect that.

This is what I have been told. Pre October 1 are being handled when they get to them. Post October 1 are being handled as they come in.

This FFL is one of them that can't understand plain English. The MSP published their stand on releasing after 7 days in which they stated that it was completely within the law. They had no choice after being sued by MSI, but there were several knuckle draggers who apparently can't read. Since there's no hurry to get that lower, I wouldn't say anything else until its in you hand. Then give him a little "adios motherfocker, you'll never see another dime from me".

For pre-Oct 1 purchases, I am just getting paperwork back for Aug 20. I received all of my customers paperwork within 7 days for post-Oct 1 purchases.

If that is the case, as far as timeline goes... I suspect my return won't be cleared until the end of next month. So about a four month wait, 5 to be safe I guess..

I think they believe that per October purchases are already in the buyers hands and are concentrating on weeding out criminals in their post ,October arms. After all, before SB281, criminals didn't have to go through a background check.

What's the current date the MSP morons are working on right now for those apps submitted before 10/1?

Prolly like 9/3

I finally received my "not-dissaproved" on 1/8 for a lower that was submitted back on 9/21. So it took almost 16 weeks.

A picture of your avatar might have speeded the process.

Regrettably, I should have sent in a pic of your avatar too as I'm still waiting for September paperwork.

Spoke with my FFL yesterday.

He still has apps from July that have not come back.
New one he sends in are turning around in two days.

Got this email from msp just now

Good Afternoon,

* We have two locations processing applications. The first location is working on 9/06/2013 and the second location is working on 9/19/2013 - 9/20/2013. Keep in mind that in September we were receiving anywhere from 2500 - 3000 applications per day. With that being said it could take at least a week to process one day of work. Thank You
