Discontinuing Printing of Handgun Qualification Licenses

[Bikebreath]

The Maryland Department of State Police, Licensing Division (MDSPLD) is constantly reviewing policy and procedures in order to enhance the experience of our customers...

Consider ignoring Good And Substantial.

So, they went from plastic card with picture to plastic card no picture to papre card to no card at all.

And the $50 poll tax has stayed the same

IIRC back in 2013 the $50 cost was partially justified by the cost of producing the photo ID. And there was some discussion that it was constitutional to charge for things related to exercising a constitutional right as long as they were reasonable and in line with actual costs. I think there was also some comments regarding poll taxes and legal cases about them that touched on this.

Legal Eagles is this a way to attack least the cost of an HQL?

So now in Maryland you need a credit card, computer with the right operating system and now printer in order to buy a handgun.

exactly

Yeah what happened to the fiscally responsible part? If they’re saving money that should be passed on to the consumer. Lmao, like that would ever fvcking happen

You're assuming that the IT development work wasn't done by a O'Malley crony/relative (i.e., the Lowest Bidder) and runs on something better than a 386 with Win95...

Fixed it for you.....

I’ll give them one bone- I like the e77R application- it’s quick. But I also don’t think we should need a 77R on top of the 4473.

Medical records are going online as well. I for one absolutely trust all my information being properly protected.

OMP has shown the world how to secure information...... (just hand it to China on a silver platter)

Medical records are not sent in an email.

You have to go to a secure site and log into that site to see them. Once logged in, the traffic between your computer and the site is encrypted.

Not 100% secure, but a WHOLE LOT more secure than an email.

But, if they are going to email me a PDF of the HQL, why can't I email that PDF to the shop, so they "see" my HQL.

 

[Blacksmith101]

The cost of the States portion of an HQL should now be about the same as the States portion of a transfer, same background check. So why is one $50 and the other $10? Sounds like a tax on exercising a civil right guaranteed by the Constitution to me.

Give the MSP credit where it is due guys.





They use TRS-80 Model IIIs.

Well... they screwed the pooch on the machine gun registration site. Punted on the on-line system and went back to mail in paper application for the last two years (spring will be #3).

Apparently not just to BUY.

BULLETIN
LD-HQL-20-004
A printed copy of the pdf, or an electronic copy of the license, must be presented to a dealer or any other person, prior to selling, renting, or transferring a handgun, in accordance with MD Public Safety §5- 117.1 and COMAR 29.03.01.06.

Now you can't sell them without an HQL??

They edited that cite a little too closely: "A dealer or any other person may not sell, rent, or transfer a handgun to a purchaser, lessee, or transferee unless the purchaser, lessee, or transferee presents to the dealer or other person a valid handgun qualification license issued to the purchaser, lessee, or transferee by the Secretary under this section."

Yet another change that disproportionately affects poor people who can't afford computers, smart phones, or printers.

Yep.

So a gun range may not rent a pistol to a customer w/o and HQL?

That’s what everyone thought when they saw the text of the legislation. In reality, you can rent a gun as long as it stays on the property.

Rent is when the firearm leaves the premises or control of the owner. Not use at a range.
