      If they're already yours can someone bring extended magazines to you?

      I've still got some of my firearms back in my home state. My dad is coming for a visit. As I understand it, it's perfectly fine for him to bring firearms and 20 round or small mags. However would one's dad bringing someone their own magazines count as one of the things you can't do...

      Sounds like we're already registered.

      Maybe this is old news to people who have lived in this state longer. But I wasn't made aware that when I bought a pistol here I was entered into: "The gun-ownership database, the Maryland Automated Firearm System Services, contains the names, addresses, driver's license numbers and types...

      Anybody know job loss specifics?

      So I got the following e-mail from MSI (It's OK to post these right?) However it's a bit vague. If I'm going to call up I'd like to be able to express exactly what is in the area that will be leaving. Does anybody have any info on what companies are where? It seems like a good angle to...

      Thoughts on "combo" guns

      I currently don't have a shotgun, but I'm considering getting one. First for home defense, but I'd like to be able to try my hand at skeet or hunting should the opportunity arise in the future. I've noticed some of the advertisements for weapons advertised as being combo guns. They come...

      Outreach to the scared and uninformed

      At a townhall meeting I went to a picked up a flier for: http://www.saintmarkpresby.org/2013/01/community-forum-on-the-prevention-of-gun-violence-february-21-7-pm/ Going through some of their commentary it appears they're somewhat open minded on this issue and aren't calling for the repeals...

      Putting together a case for capacity?

      Many of the elements in upcomming proposed legislation seem easy to refute by pointing out that changing the way a psycopath grips a gun isn't going to save any lives, piling on the fees just makes the poor, who often are at the greatest risk of victimization, even more vulnerable, and so on...

      What are the timeframes involved with new legislation taking effect in Maryland?

      It seems like the House of Representatives may be able to prevent major changes in gun laws at the federal level. However things in Maryland aren't looking very good. The result of this discrepancy means that, if there is enough notice, I may be able to sell things that might be...

      Sights on shotguns

      Searching finds some threads touching on the subject, but it never gets discussed in detail. What do people think about the different choices of sights on shotguns? I would have thought that scopes on a shutgun would be silly. But if I'm reading our states laws right, you can't use...

      Any value to rifle training at 75 feet?

      The good news is that the indoor range I belong to allows rifles. The bad news is that the maximum range is 75 feet and the shots are always going to be pretty much straigh forward (as opposed to much in the way of elevation differences). My question is if that is sufficient to provide any...

      Home invaders that shout "Police"

      In the local paper and news I'm seeing more and more stories about individuals or small groups that pretend to be police either to get you to open the door, or to get you to lie nicely on the ground while they do what they want. On the flip side, there was also a story about a marine getting...

      Full stock pistol grips vs semi/straight stocks

      I only have a small amount of experience with handguns, but I was thinking about getting one for home defense now that I've got a house. I decided to ask around about how easy it would be to take a home defense shotgun out hunting or maybe for shooting trap, if I happened to get the...

      no more force than was reasonably necessary: self defense

      I figured I had better make this a separate discussion from the property thread. So going through other threads here, it seems like you are allowed to defend your own life and the lives of your family. However if you don't let them just kill you, than you're pretty much going to have to...

      no more force than was reasonably necessary: Property

      I've been trying to buff up on Maryland law going through some very informative threads here and other stuff I can find online. However I am still entirely vexed about what will land you in jail regarding defending your property. Also, if I'm reading things right, it matters greatly if...

      Pump shotguns in home defense?

      I was shocked to find that there isn't a "pumps vs autos" thread here, at least not according to the search function. I've only had experience with autos, except for BB guns, but I keep hearing about using pumps for self defense. As I understand it if you go back in time autos could be...

      Cartidge choices

      (Actually I'm surprised there isn't a sticky on this, or a number of threads that I could have found) In looking for a new home defense handgun I'm obviously faced with a ton of choices in cartridge. I was reluctant to discount any because there had to be good reasons why the various law...

      Favorite (or most valued) drills.

      I've known about and practiced the Failure drill (AKA Mozambique drill) for a while. But I recently heard about the Tueller Drill, which was quite informative. So I'm wondering what else you guys might know about or be practicing along those lines.

      Thoughts on features

      I recall being in the tackle shop looking through lures, and my dad leaning over and pointing out that companies don't make lures to catch fish...they make them to catch fishermen. As I'm looking for a handgun I'm starting to feel a bit the same way. So I was wondering if you guys might...

      suggestions for larger .45s

      There's a great thread going on 45s, but that fellow cared about size. I've got pretty big hands and won't be carrying off my property, so I'm pretty flexible in that department and I thought that might alter the advice. I'm interested in the enhanced capacity of non-1911s. I'm very...

      Top of hand to barrel distance and accuracy

      I've been notice that a common trend is that the closer the barrel is to the top of my hand the easier it is for me to shoot accurately with it. Is this common knowledge or something the rest of you have experienced? It would seem to make sense from a recoil perspective. Anyway, if...

      Bought a house, want to move in guns from home state

      Alright, so I've been going through the gun laws, but I'm not sure if I understand everything right and the laws seem to be spread over a whole lot of places so I'm worried about missing something, and I want to be in full compliance with the law. My family has been passing down and buying...
