      Illinois Non Resident Carry Permit?

      Anyone know if Illinois has blinked yet? I'm thinking the 5 state residency restriction can't stand.

      Post 6/23/2022 MD Wear & Carry Permit Application

      Too bad he didn't release this yesterday, would have been a fitting Independence Day tribute. I have to admit, I'm a little surprised. I expected a bigger fight.

      NYC CCW case is at SCOTUS!

      Md legal everclear, with one less percent alcohol than normal thanks to silly MD laws does add an additional irony to the situation.. lol

      NYC CCW case is at SCOTUS!

      How can we thank him for taking his oath of office to uphold our constitutional rights? Maybe sending a bunch of mini booklets on the constitution to his office might be a thankful gesture. He definitely deserves some token of our appreciation for his role in firmly establishing these rights.

      NYC CCW case is at SCOTUS!

      Strict scrutiny isn't the standard. Means-end evaluation was rejected. Is there THT to apply restrictions to people in pubs during the founding days? I don't know. Does someone lose their 2nd amendment rights just because they had a beer? Sounds like an infringement to me.

      What prep items did you get recently?

      I just went through the same project in very similar circumstances. My advice is that you will need far more panel watts that you think you need. They put out less than rated and there is much loss in conversion. In my case even a 100 watt panel was not sufficient to run a 50 watt 'bird bath...

      SB387 "Public Safety - Untraceable Firearms" - The Ban on Private Firearm Making

      Respectfully I don't think that's correct. FSA2013 could have been MUCH worse.

      SB387 "Public Safety - Untraceable Firearms" - The Ban on Private Firearm Making

      Obviously I'd prefer to have less of my cake taken, ideally none at all. But, they are going to take some of our cake. Most likely they are going to take an entire slice. In my view opposing it will fail. It's however possible we may be able to reduce the slice of cake taken. When faced...

      Christmas tamales

      Hi folks! Well it's way past Christmas and well overdue for me to post a follow-up report... but the new year quickly overcame my available time. In mid December I ordered a bunch of tamales from texaslonestartamales.com. The good news it that even right before Christmas they managed to...

      SB387 "Public Safety - Untraceable Firearms" - The Ban on Private Firearm Making

      I think they are going to pass something regardless. Probably an unpopular opinion, but perhaps our only recourse is to try and make it the 'least bad' as possible. For instance, what if an amendment were offered that exempted: - Law enforcement officers. These folks need to be able to...

      77R Approval Wait Time

      I'm most perplexed how 'unemployed' is acceptable but 'none' is not.

      77R Approval Wait Time

      Perhaps they are expecting someone to put occupation: Felon. Lol . Beyond that I can't see why they'd ask. Slippery slope indeed, I wonder what they'll ask next.

      Are auto-opening knives legal in MD (not OC or Bmore)

      It looks like there is no state-level pre-emption for knife laws. A quick google for Baltimore yields City code 59-22: There doesn't seem to be any exemption for State-issued W&C holders. Found an interesting article on this situation which hit the news back in 2015 related to Freddie...
