MSP wait times for handgun approval

[KSFrostie]

So does anyone know what is going on with this law suit?

Day 76. Still no word. Calling my FFL to see if he will release today

I'm Day 72. Just ridiculous.

So inasmuch as it appears that nothing is changing, what was this rumor that you apparently heard?

Exactly! What the hell were we waiting for?!?!

We need a list of FFLs that are releasing on the 8 day and what services they provide.

And any conditions they require for the release

Has anyone picked up from shooters discount recently?

I got word from Ms. Bock that I was approved on 5/12. 5/16 and no call.

I was hoping to shoot the darn thing at HB this weekend.

I was there last night. If you were approved on 5/12, they have to mail the forms back to Lou. He is currently working from oldest to newest on releases.

Be patient. It's on good authority. You know these situations are fluid. The day is young.

I don't like it, but cannot blame them since I'm a first time buyer and they don't know me. I received very good service when I was there and I was asked how much I wanted to pay at the time and recall the options where 20%, 50% or 100%. I choose 100% and paid 7% over MSRP. They also told me to expect very long wait times between 6 and 8 weeks.

Not so with me. The clerk just slapped the entire price (which, as with you, was 7% above MSRP) onto my credit card, went thru all the paperwork with me, then told me I would be waiting at least six or seven weeks.

Yeah that is bad service

Fine... but if nothing happens, I'll be asking you about it again on Monday.

The dealer spends their money on the gun up front and it's not their fault that you can't pick the gun up until MSP not disapproves you.

Sure, I understand that, but I still should have been informed about the delay before he spent half an hour going over everything with me and taking my money. If I'd known I was going to have to wait so long, I might have reconsidered the purchase. I probably wouldn't have, but I should have been given the option.

I'm in business and I put the money upfront for the product. This msp disaster is out of their control. Atlantic is always willing to take a deposit, you just have to let them know your intentions. I generally put 50% down and pay the balance on delivery. Ever order a gun online? Do they ship to your ffl without payment in full?

Did you not know about the delay? Have you not followed the current climate of the industry?

No . They could have mentioned it. Because just like with my purchase, it wasn't until after I paid in full, and did the paperwork , and was basically walking out the door when I was told anything of a delay. But if they mentioned the delay BEFORE they sell it.....maybe they wouldn't sell as much.. Can't have that.
And unless more of these FFLs start releasing on the 8th day ( as the law states) the MSP has absolutely no motivation to catch up on this backlog. Why would they be making any attempt at getting it done faster (on time)now? They clearly don't give a sh@&.

Sounds like he was a first time buy. TBH I knew that there was a wait. But i didn't know it was this long before I bought my 2/5 purchase. The only place it is being publicized is in forums like this

Sent you a PM.

Honestly? At the time Alot of us made the purchase? NO....the mainstream media sure wasn't reporting much on it back then. Regardless . The dealer I went to, and the one he went to, could've at least mentioned it. That's all.

You can continue to ask, and ill update when I know things. They are going about the process a little different as their owner is the head of the MLFDA. It may not only relate to their store, but also the direction they will pass on to others. Don't call and beat their door down. You've waited months what another day or two?
