Permit on HOLD

Purchase on HOLD

So after 7 days of waiting I finally receive a call to tell me that I can't pick up my new handgun on saturday. He tells me that the msp came back with a hold and to contact 410-653-4500 and to see why it is being put on hold. I called to see why but the number just sent me to an automated service. Does anyone have a number that I can actually speak to a real person? Thanks for the help and I'll keep you all updated so if anyone has a similar situation they know what to do.

That's the number to Pikesville (licensing). I would call back during normal business hours (tomorrow around 9).

Could be a technicality, I've never heard of a hold.

 

[FFMike]

You will speak to someone at the number provided to you earlier. it is the licensing division and tell them your purchase was put on hold for a firearm.

You are buying a weapon not obtaining a permit. There is a huge difference in terminology!

 

[Rleepremier]

Sorry about that I'm new to the firearm purchasing game.

 

[yellowsled]

well, there was a hit on something. Medical or criminal most likely I would think.

Are you familiar with all the disqualifying factors? No juvie record if you're under 30, No mental health conditions (even minor ones like depression), No felonies, etc...

 

[Rleepremier]

I don't know of anything in my past that would not allow me to purchase. That's why I'm so puzzled. I actually just got a new job and they ran an extensive background check with everything clear.

maybe somebody with the same name and you didnt add your ss#

I thought the application being put on hold had to do with unpaid tickets or child support. These are things that don't disqualify you, but will prevent getting the "not disapproved" response.

This type of confusion is common when serving arrest warrants. Lots of people have the same name and date of birth. If you go to the Maryland Judiciary Case Search and run your name, you may find the bad guy that closely matches your info.

For instance, I just ran R Lee and got 21 pages of hits at 25 entries per page. Common name. Lots of hits.

Sorry about your luck. Keep us updated as to your progress.

Calling tomorrow won't help. Try Tuesday.

Really? Why?

 

[Forager]

Oops...

Had my Monday's mixed up. I thought tomorrow was President's Day.

I sit corrected.

if you go around the automated system, you get transfered to a guy in india who barely speaks english. oh wait, thats Apple, and United Airlines, and Sony, and Panasonic, and ......

Good Luck.

If you truly have no record; it's probably a case of mixed up identity.
