      Shooting at the Range (Rant)

      This is what I was going to say.. Other than qualifying for carry permit last year, I haven't shot since a shoulder surgery in 2019 and I've been thinking I'm ready to get back in there. I was never very good to begin with so I hope I dont get harshly judged.. :-) I will say I'm confident I...

      Ammo sales - Run on ammo?

      As long as it's 100 separate orders of 1 round each I think.. :-)

      Fatal Robbery, Shell Station in White Oak

      I believe it's White Oak, just South of 29, basically next to the Mcdonalds and across the street from the old hardware store that I think is now a storage facility.. It's a shame - I went to Springbrook and in the 80s would have been around there any given day after school, probably at the...

      CCW access for those who can afford to bribe

      In yet another case of "CCW is for the ruling/rich" and not for the regular Americans, Apple's head of global security bribed local officials to gain CCW for select people.. According to the article, the Undersheriffs "treated CCW licenses as commodities and found willing buyers"...

      RED FLAG on CBS “60 Minutes” Tonight 11/17/19

      I haven't watched 60 minutes in many years, but while watching football, I saw the teaser for this piece, and decided to check it out.. It was frustrating to me that in the case of the mentally ill person who shot everyone, and was used to justify the whole bill, the piece even said the...

      Target shooting in backyard? (Map attached - Carroll County)

      I dont really have the answer, but wanted to add my experience to the conversation.. I live in CC also (just outside Mount Airy limits) and live on 0.5 acres, but have 75 acres of corn right behind my house. I went to the state police in person to ask this, and was told he had no idea if it...

      Possible Straw Man Purchase Prevented

      Being pissed, and then choosing to kick the car vs. explaining the situation is the difference. Someone who would kick a car out of anger over such things is not demonstrating good judgement.. Of course, we only have one side of the story..

      What is the penalty for failure to register regulated firearm?

      Sorry for dumb question.. Just for clarification on 2 specific cases, since this whole thing is so convoluted.. 1: If every gun someone owns was bought through a legal gun store in MD, there is no law which would have compelled someone to proactively file additional paperwork for existing...

      Sniper Rifle for Beginners

      I've never really shot more than a couple rounds through any rifle, and never been hunting, but I recently won a raffle, and got a "Howa Game King", in 6.5 Creedmore at the recommendation of 2 knowledgeable friends.. I shot it last weekend for the first time with the help of one of them, and...

      Hypothetical: How much would you pay for a MD Carry Permit

      $500 for 5 years... give or take.. It's ridiculous to have to pay for your rights, but if their greed will let it progress to that point, I'll pony up the $500, and then let the next step be how the "current law" discriminates against poor people, and we can fight to reduce/eliminate it on that...

      Rejected by Dealer to Ship Mags Out of State

      Dumb question.. about legal mags.. So.. All this talk of how to get the gun with or without the mag, but are mags over 10 rds legal in MD as long as they're not bought in MD? How about mags I already owned before the law?
