The bill would require that an individual's background check is completed prior to the sale, transfer or lease of a handgun regardless of how long the background check takes. Under the current law, gun dealers may legally release guns to buyers after 8 days whether a background check has been completed or not.
According to Cardin the loophole has allowed more than 200 guns to be released since last year to individuals who are barred from gun ownership. Though background checks usually take less than 7 days, a rise in handgun sales over the last year created a backlog of background checks extending up to six months.

FR: Delegate Mike McDermott
Just heard Del. Cardin's bill, HB-42...if it is approved, the Secretary of the State Police would have the right to decide when a background had to be completed...if ever. The bill places no time constraints on the state whatsoever! The Delegate did not even show up for the hearing but sent his aide! I tried to query him on the issue but he knew nothing. This bill needs to go into the trash can of bad ideas.
Guns should go over the counter in 3-5 business days. If the State can't do its job, they need to quit their jobs, not blame the buyer.
Just one more reason why I am leaving Communist Maryland!
8:44 I agree. I'm looking at buying in Delmar or Laurel. I've had enough of this liberal Democratic crap.

And isn't Delaware under the control of DEMOCRATS!!!
I'm guessing this clown is related to Sen. Ben Cardin? Just a guess and may be a good guess.
Cardin, the man who gave us obamacare, and drove through thousands of protestors in Towson, without taking a question. Pitch forks please.
Delaware is just as liberal as Maryland.
Look how they embrace the gays, gay marriage and all that.
10:32 You mean, normal humans with brains? Ok
11:19 No not "normal". Homos may have brains but they obviously don't use them or they would not choose a perverted dangerous lifestyle or at least they would seek help for their problem.

Being Homo sexual isn't normal. In your liberal pea brain it might be. It was once classified as a mental illness and it is still a mental illness. You people are sick. Putting a mans genitals in another mans excretory canal is not normal. Putting a mans genitals in another mans mouth for him to swallow is not normal. Genital organs are made for procreation and to excrete waste. You people are sick animals.
