I got a lock included with my M&P40 that I picked up last week; PM if you want to borrow it when you pick up your PX4.

This lock included, if like every other SW MP pistol lock I have seen, is not a lock which satisfies the state mandate.

The omega type lock is a bullet like piece that locks into the chamber and is turned by a rod through the muzzle.

Anyone have a "smith & wesson key"?

Got a call from gun connection saying my smith was in, but it didnt come with a key to the lock. I have no clue what she is talking about.

Thanks, but unfortunately cable locks do not meet the law's requirements.
Only barrel-blocking locks like those from Omega do. Those are the ones we exchange here.

So far three folks have used mine to legally circumvent this dumb law. :party29:

They have no other Smith and Wesson firearms there?

Those cables would be easy to cut, too. Nothing hefty.

My ffl won't let me bring in a lock, he says I have to buy one from him for $18. He said it's MD law. Does this sound right?

That is incorrect. As long as you possess an internal lock at the time of transfer, you are obeying the law.

Does anyone have a Taurus Revolver key they are willing to part with?

Great idea

bjump · Feb 24, 2013

amen...skeeters made me buy his...but i took it in to him a week later and he bought it back

JAY1234 · Feb 24, 2013

I can see the FFL's viewpoint. I could tell him I have the appropriate locking device and not have one. Then if an accident happens and the investigation leads to FFL releasing the gun without a lock, the FFL is holding the dirty end of the stick. I bought two pistols, one had integral lock and the other had one in the box. I don't know if the MFG put it there or the FFL but it was there. In todays crappy anti-gun atmosphere, if I was an FFL dealer, I would do EVERYTHING to cover my butt.

You're missing the point of this exchange. There is a physical exchange. One borrows a satisfactory lock to pick up their handgun with. This isn't a lie or a bluff as you suggest.

Read the law, understand it and respond.

Nice link- spreadsheet works nicely!

I added a 9mm and a .22LR Omega to the list. I am in Ellicott City area and can lend to anyone who could use them.

I don't think you're "circumventing" the law. You are allowing a person to "comply" with the law by using what is required to satisfy the law.
