The HQL - Your Plans Are?

[Tomcat]

Well, I just got back from buying my F***U OweMalley handgun. First place I went said I needed an HQL to receive after Oct. 1. I said Retired military and he said MSP told him it only exempted you from the training portion. He also said he didn't attend the training since people that went to different training got different stories about what was what. Said thanks and walked out (never to return). I had only gone there since I had heard they had something I was looking for. Went to my regular dealer and purchased something else just so I could say F***U OweMalley. He also told me the special edition Henry I had asked about would be in on Friday. Double win for him and hope he has no problems with sales in the future.

I will get my HQL ASAP. I applied for designated collector status, even though, at the time, I didn't think I'd need it. Then the SB281 debate heated up, and it sure became useful and I was thrilled I got it years earlier. I'm feeling the same way about the HQL. My fingerprints were taken for a CCW permit years ago, so they're already on file. Day may come when I see something i gotta have, so I'll be ready to pounce. Also, the laws may change yet again, and there may be some benefit for those who already have an HQL.

I'm buying a mill and a lathe and opening an account with Durrett/Sheppard.







I'll get it when I need it (meaning when I can afford to purchase again).I'm stuck in Md. for awhile so I'll have to pay to play for now.

Your fingerprints being on file means nothing unless you actually have an active Carry Permit.

I plan on applying as soon as I am able to muddy up their system

Moving. Can't get out for 6 years, but planning already in the works. This state is not fixable in my lifetime and I don't want my kids to become adults in a communist outpost. The 2A issues are only part of a larger set of problems here.

I am in state and fed databases for carry permit (active) and work-related matters. In any event, I can't imagine that, no matter why the prints were collected, they don't live on in government files forever.

If you have a Maryland Permit to Carry a Handgun, you will only need to check a box on the online application and enter the permit number and a HQL will be issued. If yours is not a Maryland permit, you're screwed.

So as October 1 nears, I am curious where people are coming out on the HQL.

Are you going to go get it immediately?

Are you going to wait until you have a purchase you want to make?

Are you just swearing off handguns because you will be damned if you'll be fingerprinted like a criminal just for exercising your rights?

When folks ask me how many firearms I own, I tell them I have more than I need, and not as many as I want...

Having said that, I've accumulated a nice collection over the years, but it isn't complete: there are a few more things I would like to get...a Colt Ace, a S&W 586 or 686, a Freedom Arms Model 97 revolver, a Seecamp. But it won't happen now...

I will not be fingerprinted and photographed in order to exercise a Constitutional right.
