Hello everyone.
Got my HQL hot off the press and went to purchase a new HK VP9, only to be met with the following email from the MSP Licensing division regarding my application, 3 business days into my application.
“The investigation of your Application to Purchase a Regulated Firearm has been placed on hold. Pursuant to §5-125 (b), of the Public Safety Article, Annotated Code of Maryland, a licensee or other person may not sell, rent, or transfer a regulated firearm to a firearm applicant whose firearm application is placed on hold because of an open disposition of criminal proceedings against the firearm applicant. Accordingly, the seller/transferor has been notified that the transfer of the regulated firearm may not be completed at this time.
Your application is now being investigated by a specialized holds investigator. The holds investigator will request further information about your case from State Archives or the originating jurisdiction. Because we are dependent on outside resources providing this information, I am unable to provide an estimated time when your application will be removed from the hold status. Please know that our holds investigator will work as quickly as possible to resolve this issue.
Due to the confidential nature of the information involved, I am unable to state the basis for the application being placed on hold in this letter. Should you desire further information concerning the status of your application or if you obtain information that may expedite the hold investigation, you may contact the Firearms Registration Unit, Holds Investigator at 410-653-4500 during normal business hours.
Sincerely,
Captain Andrew Rossignol
Commander
Licensing Division”
Anyone ever got this? I have a misdemeanor expungement from 3-4 years ago, which was a disqualifying crime but has been completely expunged for several years now. I’ve passed numerous employment background checks, including fingerprint checks, so I know I’m clear.
HQL application was also approved without a hiccup.
I’ll update this thread once the Hold is resolved, but I’m wondering if anyone’s ever seen or heard of this happening before.
Thank you.
