      Questions on inheriting a firearm

      An acquaintance of mine was left a handgun when his stepfather passed back in 2006 and has recently started wondering if there was any process for the legal transfer that was supposed to have occurred that no one thought to mention. It's been locked away the last 9 years and never fired by my...

      Gabby Giffords wants better background checks

      This reminds me of how Verisign gets used to authenticate that a website is who it says it is. And as another poster alluded to, it's not terribly secure as evidenced by a number of cases of fraudulent digital certificates being obtained. It's very, very easy to set up a blacklist of people...

      Gabby Giffords wants better background checks

      I would strongly disagree with allowing checks by SSN. It's a huge identify theft risk. It shouldn't be either a valid query or result. That said, there are now more than a few services that civilians can use to run background checks on people for various purposes. If a friend's elderly...

      The Official March 1 House of Delegates Hearing Thread

      So if we're bringing in written versions of our testimony but also want to speak, should we drop off the written copies and then sign up for oral speaking? I got a bit confused on this part during the senate hearing.

      WJZ just blew you off

      We got some coverage on WTOP. They didn't mention how lopsided the representation was, but they did share about the building being closed down and had snippets of testimony. The segment I caught was something from O'Malley and then followed by a lady from Edgewood against the bill. If it's...

      SB0281 - Testimony Primer and Tracking

      Boatbod reminded me that I wanted to check if it was kosher to use the same piece of paper to testify on multiple bills. It would save a lot of printer hassles if I can.

      SB0281 - Testimony Primer and Tracking

      Okay, so I'm coming out of the woodwork for the hearing but need to bounce off some ideas off others before I run off on another direction in regards to testimony again. I originally was planning on basing testimony around how the federal AWB did nothing to prevent Columbine or the Beltway...

      Gunsmiths in the area

      I've worked with Frank before for transfers, but his hours don't exactly mesh with my work schedule and commute anymore. I am curious what kind of work he does though since last I checked his blurbs mostly mentioned M1s.

      Gunsmiths in the area

      The last time I looked into this was some years ago before some people left the area. And while I do know of some quality smiths a few counties over, I'm hoping there's a quality gunsmith more local for a 1911 trigger job.

      cz 82 finish

      No maybe about it in my experience. I love my East German Makarov (there's something about owning something in good condition decades before you were born as a history buff) but the trigger on my CZ-82 is much better. It just feels firmer and crisper. It did benefit from a few decades of...

      Atlantic Guns

      I actually picked up something from the Rockville store on Friday after not having bought anything gun related for two years or so. Not sure if they still recognized me (and definitely noticed a few people no longer there), but a friend that was with me when I was first filling out the...

      So where do those fired shell casings come from?

      So after two years or so away from shooting (and the forum really), I finally have funds (and hopefully time) to pick up some things I had my eyes on before finances forced a break. I was looking at gunbroker when I remembered that we have that new shell casing requirement on new handguns...

      Fall Shoot 2010 Headcount

      I think I have about a 50% chance of making it. I'll be going solo if I do make it.

      I haven't seen some of you guys in years. I'm doing my best to make this.

      Lambo - Rest in Peace

      I haven't really had time to come here the last year or so, but someone brought this to my attention. Damn. He was always friendly the few times I saw him in person and will be missed.
