Got my HQL in Defiance of the HQL

Pmbspyder · Apr 15, 2014

Had to do it. Will be living here for some time and I'll be damned if I'm going to let some idiot pols ruin my hobby.

To celebrate I went for the old 2 for 1 and picked these up:

I think they were secretly hoping a lot of people would skip getting one and not buy more guns. That is the only explanation. They aren't making a lot of money from it. The anti's want you to stop buying guns. They want to hurt the LGS so they go out of business. The best thing you can do is keep buying guns. It's not like the HQL gives them any more information than they had before. It's just there to make you say "buying a gun isn't worth the hassle".

He already mentioned what the defiance was. He didn't let it ruin his hobby.

Uhhh Huhhh. I have mainly discontinued commenting on this subject , but since the actual title purported Defience , it cought my eye.

IF the thread were about purchasing a one hand bullet emmiting device that is exempt , or inheriting , or moving into the state with existing handgun , those could be catagorized as *Defience* . An underground transaction would be against the advise and spirit of this Board , and every 2A group in the state , but it would have been in *Defience of the HQL* .

What was described was instead * embracing with full consent * the HQL , in order to ( somthing ) . (Somthing) could be to indirectly advance some other aspect of RKBA in a tradeoff. Or could be the selfgratification of having a conditional State granted Privledge of purchasing a certain catagory of handgun ( not all handguns , nor handguns nesecarry to fill a particular need) .

They are trying to prevent you from purchasing those handguns that require a HQL. They put up a roadblock that they hope you will find distasteful. They know it doesn't reduce crime, and it won't raise revenue. The only explanation is that they want to keep certain guns "off the streets". Since I doubt any of your guns ever ended up on the streets, they really want you to stop buying them. It's not so much defying the HQL, it is doing what they really don't want you to do. That is just the way I see it. YMMV

congrats on the handguns. you picked 2 nice ones. dont worry about getting the hql, its the only legal way you can get modern handguns in this shit hole state. some others will bitch you out because they want to hold out until something changes. if all the local gun shops are closed by then i rekon they dont care. they also dont care that you would be shorting yourself by not buying. i say keep on buying and have as much fun as you can in this state and thumb your nose at the politicians while you are doing it.

Just applied and became active myself congrats, i'm like you I have a hobby and nothing's like buying and bringing home new toys to play with every once in a while, happy shopping.

eruby · Apr 16, 2014

Congratulations Pmbspyder, those are two fine looking guns!

I will 99.99999999999% not get an HQL, but I repect your decision and am envious of the six-shooter.

ST19AG_WGreymon · Apr 16, 2014

You could always join the armed forces or police. XD

stu929 · Apr 16, 2014

I hate the idea but I need to get my Hql. I was convinced I was done buying but there's something I really want and im not happy about jumping through hoops.

How long did it take to get yours back?

gamefan86 · Apr 16, 2014

I wasn't planning on getting the hql, but there were a few guns that I want to buy like the Sig P220 I just bought at Freestate.

4095fanatic · Apr 16, 2014

I'm still in favor of everyone buying a $100 Hi-point and seeing if we can set a record for number of handguns purchased in a year in this miserable state. :-D.

Neither was I.

But now it looks like my plans to move to America are on hold for at least another 10 years. :mad54:

I'll end up having to get it anyway because there is NO WAY I'm wating that long to buy another pistol.

Mooseman · Apr 16, 2014

I feel like the OP. If I quit buying the guns that they want me to quit buying, O'Malley and the rest of the anti's win. I will not let them stop me from buying what I want to buy. Biggfoot44, you are right, his purchase was not in defiance of the HQL. It was within the confines of the HQL. It was in defiance of those that made the stupid assed HQL laws.

Unless what you want to buy is an AK.

Thanks for the comments guys. I should have titled it "in defiance of the spirit of the HQL" because we all know the HQL only exists to make law abiding citizens too angry or too turned off to buy more handguns.

I really didn't want to get it, but I'll be here for a while and I enjoy shooting different firearms. Like I said, I don't see it so much as giving in, as I see it flipping them the bird. My number is like 6,xxx and it made me think how excited those idiots in Annapolis must be knowing that so few have gotten it. Don't get me wrong, if the lawsuit bears out like it should I'll be more than happy to get my $ back, but until then I'm going to keep doing what I love. Teratos, thank you for summing it up nicely.

In answer to some of the other questions, I got fingerprinted in 5 minutes, filled out the application in 5 minutes, and my license went active the next day.

I got the ruger from jbob, and unfortunately I believe that was the only one he had in stock...

Always wanted a .22 revolver, this should fit the bill nicely

protegeV · Apr 16, 2014

I get it. The best way to show the uselessness of the hql is to get an hql.

Got my HQL in Defiance of the HQL
