    Hi, when purchasing a new handgun now, are the currently any delays in the 77R process, or the same 1) submit 77R online and b) pick up at FFL after 7 day wait (unless not approved)? thanks

    Is the gun store open or is it a non-essential business and is closed by the Governor? Or are the state police processing the request ? I don’t know either

    Good question. The way I read the list, FFL’s aren’t on it. Pretty much all retail is shut down. Unless someone knows otherwise? I need to get Livescan fingerprinting done, so I’m in a similar boat. I think you can do a 77R at the MSP, but I think they stopped doing fingerprinting there.

    In my case, the FFL operates privately, I would be driving to a friends house. Just checking to see if the normal process is uninterrupted. Thanks....

    Just got reply back from Delegates Chief of Staff after the questioned the Governor's office based on request for information. Assume I wasn't only one, but answer is I can remain open as an FFL.

    Interesting. What is your business and where are you located?

    As of now. Don’t know. Mine processed normally, but I picked up on Saturday. Some poor guy was on hold for more than 2hrs as the electronic NICS check was down. Not sure if it is back up or not.

    even after the order went up today to close non essential businesses, I saw several local gun shops posting they were advised they are clear to stay open

    I spoke with the State Police this morning. They advised that Firearms Dealers "do not fall into the category of non essential businesses and may remain open."

    In other words, Firearms Dealers are "NOT DISAPPROVED" to stay open. :) HAH.

    I received my Not Disapproved email this morning at 6 AM sharp. Seems that everything is still running just as annoyingly as always.

    What day did you do your application? I did one last Tuesday the 17th, and about 6:30 PM and no "not disapproved" this morning.

    I picked up a rifle at TMGN yesterday and my background check went through in literally 2 minutes.

    Dealers process long gun background checks via an online federal system which typically provides a response in a few seconds.

    Regulated Firearm background checks are processed by Maryland State Police and usually kick back results by 4th or 5th day. I'm sure with this COVID19 surge, they are probably overwhelmed.

    Doesn't the law say that unless you are disapproved you can get your regulated firearm 7 days after submission of the 77R, whether or not you (and the FFL) have gotten electronic notification of "not disapproved"?
    I kind of assumed that when one electronically submitted the 77R, that some cyber counter was set and the system automatically sent a not disapproved on the 7th day unless the applicant was disapproved.

    Technically, yes. However, I wait for the background checks to clear by MSP before transferring.
