Who Doesn't Have Their HQL

[Boom Boom]

Tell me about it! 4 years military, 20 years police. I still have to get one. This law is absurd

And to think our local, deadbeat politicians get issued CCWs like candy. It's okay, though. They're working soooo hard to keep you and me safe. Just the thought of it should send tingles down a person's leg.

You mean like Screwball on Screwball, also known as Chris Matthews on Hardball? Or whatever the hell dumbass waste of airtime he's annoying people with now?

Gee, maybe the rest of us should become bottle blond blowhards like him and Joy Blowjob and stick our faces in front of cameras prattling on about how "passé" the 2a and the Constitution are while hundreds of millions of gullible morons who likely couldn't identify the Vice-President while still being able to rattle off scores for every football game for the last 50 years hang on our every words as if we're delivering the 10 Commandments. Then maybe WE can be considered part of the "ruling elite" that gets to be granted the privilege of self-defense by the gooberment.

Nope

 

[Bigfoot21075]

I think that implies my answer as well.

Didn't you retire? I thought retired leo are exempt from the HQL.

 

[RobSky]

Nope.

 

[Dreago]

I took the plunge yesterday. Was getting jealous that my wife has a pistol she's having fun with, but I don't.

 

[Venge]

Well I've decided I want a .45 ACP pistol... probably an FNX. So I guess I need my HQL now.

And son of a BITCH this application is annoying.

 

[Venge]

Guess I can't start the application without getting fingerprinted first.

No HQL here, I bought all I wanted before the ban.

Yes, but you had to have jurisdiction in MD, or any political subdivision of MD to qualify.

SAME HERE.

Oh yeah. That latest sticky wicket of recent.

Out of principle, I hold off HQL as long as I could, but finally gave in after seeing so many good deals over Christmas.....................................................

That's why I bought my fairly soon after the new law. First, it's been my hobby/interest for 35+ years and I'll be damned if I want to give it up. My thought was I'd just wait until I wanted something. Them I saw a used S&W 629 for a really good price and about mint condition. I was exempt from training as a previous owner, and I saved more than the 104.50 I spent for live-scan + application fee. Since then, I've bought 4 more modern guns plus 6 C&R handguns from in state. All for very fair to excellent prices. The modern guns were priced well below the 'before the SHTF' prices. I presume priced aggressively to move 'em. I think the same is true of the 2 C&Rs I bought from an LGS (also priced very well) even though the law exempts C&R handguns from needing HQL to transfer. I think pretty often there is confusion regarding this plus those who just refuse to get an HQL. Furthermore, many people tapped themselves out last year, everything leading leading to a very soft Maryland Market that has used handguns sometimes priced well below book values.

It does somewhat irk me, that although I spent all that money for an HQL, Maryland still dings me for 10 bucks for every transfer (well, in a couple cases I did transfer 2 at a time)

 

[Knuckle66]

nope, I'm hoping that HQL will get kicked out in court. I have several hand guns that I'd love to buy, like a Ruger Mark III for instance but I'm willing to wait.

My armor is starting to crack. Please someone tell me that I should wait. Someone tell me they have it on good authority that the HQL law will be overturned in court. PLEASE...please...somebody help me....................

The time to wait has passed. Positive change is in the air. Support our local shops before we don't have any.

 

[Kman]

Still holding out here.

I REALLY want a Ruger 1911, but I'm not going to pay an extra $100 plus for it. Still object to the punishment for 2A "rights" and being fingerprinted like a perp.

 

[Boom Boom]

being fingerprinted like a perp.

Tons of jobs in this region require routine prints. No shortage of such people on this forum. It's no big deal.

 

[paintballg36fun]

Still holding out too,
However I really want an FNX-45 and an ak pistol.
It is driving me nuts.
