Wanted to get a handgun, still possible?

[Leviathan]

I just started to get into firearms and now this bill passes. I wanted to buy my 1st handgun BEFORE I would have to jump through the hoops that O'Malley has tried to put into place. How feasible is that now? Would I be able to find an XDm 40 and get the purchase through before this adds a crapload of extra steps? Was also working on an AR but I already have my lower, does it make sense to put my upper on hold and focus on trying to get my handgun 1st? I know this sounds sounds very novice of me(cuz I am one ) but just looking for advice from you all with more experience here.

Nothing's taken effect, all the BS starts Oct. 1st, so get your ass to a gun store and get your handgun now.

Make sure you can find a threaded barrel for it too. It'll be an added 'F You' to MD.

Buy a handgun.

Hurry up. October will be here before you know it.

 

[marko]

GET MOVING. Forget the upper.

The Gun Rack has plenty of stock, they will be at the show in Frederick.

Get all the guns and all the ammo you can ASAP. At the current point, it seems likely some of it will be banned, and it seems likely availability will get worse, and prices will get higher before they get better/lower...if they ever do. It took me 3 months to find the H&K mags I wanted. You may find that getting the gun only is difficult, but accessories, hi cap mags, and ammo is worse. And from what I am hearing about ATK, it sounds like Federal and Speer ammo may get stupidly scarce in a very short period. So buy now, buy in large quantities, and buy fast. Given the market, you can likely trade if you wind up getting something you dont need. Even if you dont need 9 or 45 for example, if you get some 9 or .45 at a good price, chances are you can trade it for .40 rather than paying full premium.

I am going to the show this weekend to purchase another handgun.

 

[BeltBuckle]

don't buy ANYTHING until you've called all the target senators TODAY!

First things First.

 

[Fireball]

At the rate things are going...if you buy today, it might be October before you get your Not Disapproved from MSP

Exactly, I think that's the boat I'm in. By the time you can actually find a gun and the MSP wait will put you past October.

As long as they have the paperwork submitted before Oct. 1 it will still get processed.
