MSP wait times for handgun approval

[steveh326]

Bought 3/13, nothing yet, and I don't anticipate an "under review". You guys will be the first to know when I get the text (other than me).

I didn't anticipate going into review either, nothing in my past to raise any flags, but I got it anyway. hopefully your luck will be better than mine. my only guess is that one of the databases was down when the civilian did the initial check on mine, which automatically throws it into the review pile.

I didn't anticipate being put in review and yet here I am in review on Day 70 waiting. No record, first gun purchase ever, and prior military. Who'd have thunk?

Waiting on a 3-11, and was told I was under review because of a common last name. After a little research, less than 3000 people share my last name in md. Thats out of a population of 5.8 million.

I bet the prior Military is why you were sent for review.

Thanks! Not the answer i wanted but none the less, it is an answer. I understand his reasoning and it is his shop so he reserves the right. Was just being optimistic that i might be able to finally get lucky and bring my baby home LOL! Thanks again!

And it's your right to shop somewhere else that releases early. Certain gun stores will flourish, some that choose not to will fail. That's capitalism.

I assume you gave them your SSN. So... How does that work exactly. You have a common name but not common SSN... I hope

Thinking about making a trip to On target. Anyone want me to keep an eye out for anything?

Walther P99, if it's not too much trouble. Thanks for thinking of the rest of us.

I'd be very curious to know what percentage of applications go into the review pile. I seem to be seeing a whole lot more posts about reviews, and not nearly as many NDs.

I looking for a Glock 19

Thank you

I don't get the whole "one of the databases was down" excuse. If that were the case, wouldn't they just wait for it to come back online? Otherwise they'd be sending every single application to review. Talk about incompetence.

During a phone call with my FFL we figured out they are about 7 days behind in faxing the paperwork back also!!!

 

[Trek4Ward]

I AM IN REVIEW!!!!

I told you......call or email and you'll end up in the review pile! I'm obviously kidding, but I wouldn't put it past them.

Yes I always put my ss on my app. So who knows what they are doing up there.

Retired Navy - Last handgun purchase G30 ACP .45 two years ago - waiting on a S&W .500 - going on day 58 and counting. Also waiting on FFL transfer approval for an Osprey - forget how many months that's been. Dealer says they are just now seeing NDs from 8 March submissions, but also seeing 28 March. Guess the stack fell over or something.

Day 63 on a Ruger from Atlantic Rockville.

Does 63 include weekends?


Oh and I heard you had some really expensive ammo for sale... do you still have any available?

 

[why2kmax]

When you picked up your last two, were you advised then why they went to review? Or is it the same old song and dance...common name, hair cut too short, cloudy skies, etc...

No idea. The last time, my name was crossed of the ND paperwork (fax) that MSP sent back to the FFL while everyone else on the list was approved. A week later my name came through on another group of faxes.

Not a common name at all, SSN on the forms, citizen since I was born, DC, C&R, Fed worker, clearance forever, bought several guns a year over last few years, Utah CCW is inbound. Ive been checked out by so many agencies I should feel violated. Sad fact is, the only place I was allowed to Conceal and/or open carry was IRAQ. I guess I had a "good and substantial reason"

1 speeding ticket last year. 36mph in a 30. that must be it....Im a hellion! or maybe its my blue eyes and grey hair...

Honestly I wasnt paying much attention before, but seems everything Ive ever bought took about 10+ days to come back even last year and year before. That seems mostly normal. This year, straight to the review pile.
