MSP almost caught up on backlog?

[ironpony]

I called my FFL about a 7/15 app, they said a few we're trickling in with No real order as to when the app was filed or type of gun or who the applicant was. This info was offered, I did not ask so it seemed they thought it unusual. Just my opinion on their thoughts though.

Does anyone know if those with HQL are in line with everyone else or are they moved to the front? Its been about a month that they have been around and am curious if there are two lines at the MSP.

Yes the HQL are first inline. Confirmed by IP's here as well as my dealer. The sole purpose of pushing the HQL's through first is for Maryland to say and have proof that no infringement is taking place come the trial. Assholes!

They might be "first in line" if their purchase was after 10/1, but I don't think it speeds up the MSP's 77 ND processing for pre-10/1 purchases at all.

I have a pre-10/1 purchase and a HQL---no ND paperwork yet (~60 days).

Lucky for me, the "limited-release FFL" I used for an out-of-state transfer released it without the ND, specifically because I had the HQL.

I can only surmise he accepted the HQL background check as essentially the same as the MSP background check.

That's correct post 10/1 HQL

High fives in Annapolis! They took the number of apps from 1125 per day on 10/2 to only 45 apps per day on 11/8.

(I know it's not a realistic comparison before everyone starts explaining why the numbers were so high on 10/2. It would be interesting to compare to the rate a year ago.)

Is there some time limit or "statute of limitations" for lack of a better term after which the state essentially waives their right to do these? Hypothetically, at 45 per day, it could be over a year before the mid-late Sept apps are processed. With the holidays, and i suspect there may be some budget issues with so much overtime burned early in the year, upcoming primaries consuming resources...

At what point would a court say, nope sorry MD you lost your chance to disapprove?

 

[JettaRed]

By law, seven days.

Well, actually, I'm not sure since they can knock on your door any time they decide you shouldn't have a gun.

Just got a call from a member I purchased a handgun from that my ND papers from 6/25 just came back. Their on a roll now!

 

[rcpd34]

I sent in an AP after 10/1 and it came back Not Disapproved in 3 days. Unbelieveable. Hard to explain to all the other folks still waiting for months..

BACKLOG PROJECTION
If no more applications were received after 9/20 it would take 217 days to process the existing backlog at the rate they were working last week.
If no more applications were received after 9/24 it would take 123 days to process the existing backlog at the rate they were working last week.
If no more applications were received after 10/2 it would take 834 days to process the existing backlog at the rate they were working last week. (That is more than a two year backlog!)
If no more applications were received after 10/04 it would take 351 days to process the existing backlog at the rate they were working.
If no more applications were received after 10/11 it would take 117 days to process the existing backlog at the rate they were working and assuming no more applications mysteriously disappear.
If no more applications were received after 10/18 it would take 198 days to process the existing backlog at the rate they were working
If no more applications were received after 10/25 it would take 123 days to process the existing backlog at the rate they were working
If no more applications were received after 11/01 it would take 146 days to process the existing backlog at the rate they were working
If no more applications were received after 11/15 it would take 79 days to process the existing backlog at the rate they were working

After processing 50,000 applications thru 16 databases they found about 30 or 45 guns that had slipped through and they had to get. One wonders how many of those were caught when they were checking the NICS database?
9/20 comments
So much for “all hands on deck”.
Interesting each day they work they get 4 days further behind. Each day they receive 5 days worth of work (1,125) and get 1 days work done (229).
10/2 comments
Wow in a little over a week the backlog has jumped from 4 months to over 2 YEARS.
10/04 comments
It looks like the MSP is focusing their background check resources on the new HQL permits heck with people waiting for firearms already purchased.
10/11 comments
Aside from the question of how does the total number of applications submitted go down, the take away from this week is the very volatile nature of the number of applications processed per day it has been as low as 74 and as high as 502. The MSP press release in September stated they have been working 21/7 since December of last year, if we just consider the 284 days from 01/01/2013 through 10/11/2013 the MSP would have only had to process 412 applications per day to completely process the total of 116,988 applications.

The total number of applications as well as the processing rate keep jumping around which raises as many questions as it settles.

Sorry I missed posting this I got busy with other things.

They seem to be showing some improvement however it will still take almost 21 weeks to clear the backlog at the most recent rate
11/08 Comments
Looks like they are slipping again! The backlog at the current rate is back up to almost a year and that is if there are no new applications. During the 338 days it will take to clear the existing backlog if the applications continue to arrive at the current rate of 45 per day that would result in an additional 15,210 applications received or an additional 101 days work. I suspect that the rate of new applications will increase as more people get their HQL’s and additional people wake up to the fact that they better get regulated firearms while they still can.

These numbers jump around so much it is hard to understand what is happening within the Licensing Division.
Are the numbers correctly reported? Does the workforce vary that much? Do they read this thread and respond?

Keep them busy keep buying, apply for Designated Collector, apply for HQL, snail mail your questions, etc.

 

[ShallNotInfringe]

Wowzer productivity jump of 500%!!!

I smell bs.

Wonder if we could get a HQL count in the weekly post...

 

[ihriec]

Whatever the case with MSP, appreciate the weekly analysis! My wife is waiting on her first from 8/23.

 

[almiller1963]

I just asked via email about my Maryland Designated Collector request I mailed in on 10/21 and was told in todays response that they are currently processing applications received on 10/8.
