Difference between ar10 and ar15 in the laws eyes

[dontpanic]

I am new to MD gun laws so go easy on me. You're telling me I can buy an AR10 with no issues?

Yup

Awesome thanks. What is a CWL? Its in the bill of sale.

Your concealed carry license #.

In other parts of the country where they are easier to get, they are often used as evidence you are not prohibited.

Concealed Weapon License. Not needed, just put drivers license. I normally snap a pic of their DL when filling out.

Yep.

Cash and carry, no problem.

Maryland gun laws are as clear as mud.

And for that matter dedicated 9mm AR-15 ( mag well that only takes 9mm mags, does NOT accept standard 5.56, etc magazines).

... because a "bushmaster" is a very scary snake, so they banned that one by name...

The legislature did not ban the Bushmaster BRAND by name, as you and the MSP well know. They banned a specific non AR rifle, not manufactured in many years. The Bushmaster company was formed years later.

The Maryland State Police know this perfectly well, and for many years Bushmaster brand HBARs were sold cash and carry.

Only since 2014 has the MPS arbitrarily and extra-legally chosen to deliberately misinterpret the law.


We should not help them to perpetuate their extra-legal activities. We need to keep alive the correct understanding of the law. People count on us for correct information.

I was / am frustrated with 'the condition' in Maryland, but I'm encouraged by the many folks (like you), that do so much to try to make things better, and I believe we are slowly winning. I obviously wrote that (albeit a lot of it true) with tongue firmly in cheek, even put at the beginning and end of that silly post. But you know it, and I do thank you for pointing out this detail; it is important we don't let 'them' manipulate the very language of the debate.

I don't own any firearm named after a snake, and have never met Jake-the-snake-Roberts, but I hear he was one hell of a wrestler!

Mine was a dedicated 9mm lower.

Yes, the " Bushmaster rifle" that existed in 1994 was a totally non- AR-15 design . It , and thr companion bullpup pistol were an inovative design that did not pan out, and would be interesting collectibles today. The normal AR style Bushmaster rifles were made by a different corperate identity, and didn't appear under that brand name until long afterwards.

But , for our newer members we also need to report the current situation where the MSP is delibertly missappling.

MM , you don't need to deliberately avoid snakes . The various Colt revolvers ranged from decent to excellent, the only problem is collectors have driven the prices stupid high.

The Cobra brand subcompact pistols are better than similar ones in their.

I'm not sure if the current outfit still does, but back when Blackjack Knives were good quality, they had one named Mamba.

And then of course Ford has used Cobra in several differnt contexts.

Decided today my next build will be an AR in .308.

Whats the difference between an AR10 and an AR15? Well thats easy....... AR5



Sorry......

 

[Pale Ryder]

That's great, thanks.

I have a 9mm AR lower that was processed as regulated. I was handed the form by the owner of a local gun shop, that will remain un-named, and I gave a look of "WTH", when an employee give me a high-sign and just played along and filled out the form.

Ahh you have the Rhode Island sized magazine well.

Over my head.

Explaining jokes ruins them, so I'll be ok not knowing.

If the lower receiver has a magazine well the size of Texas then it's an AR10.

I don't see how one can be confused with the other.

...
Texas sized mag well is AR10, legal.
Tennessee sized mag well is AR15, generally illegal; unless it's a pistol, or heavy barrel, or purchased before October 2013, unless it's a bushmaster. {crazy eh?}

Welcome to the absurd Idoicracy (see the movie) Maryland gun laws!
