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

      Yes, he knew the info already. Was not his first request. But I did get it in writing (E-mail) and also sent the plan for the personal shooting range for approval. And then sent pics of the actual range when done for his record, and he even took it to the MSP Easton Commander for their info...

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

      Talbot Co is where I am, and I talked to the local Sheriff and he stated that he and the DA have reviewed the laws and the hunting setback only applies to hunting, not target shooting. So I built a shooting range with railroad ties, with 18 tons of dirt behind it, so far no issues. On just...

      What makes an HBAR an HBAR?

      HBAR stands for heavy barrel. During the US involvement in Vietnam and the M16 was introduced, they made a prototype of the M16 called the M16 HBAR which actually meant it was in 7.62x51 AKA .308.

      Carrying CCW and gun registered?

      Just an exercise to show the issues with MD's carry laws.

      I know this is an older post, but seems to be a good one. To clarify a few points. I have a combination lockbox under my drivers seat. I have a Business Limitation on the back of my MD Handgun Permit. So if I am not sure I will be conducting business (buying books, collectibles, products)...

      Man charged even though he had CCW in MD

      The problem I see, is that Williams said he confronted the man looking at vehicles and with a knife I was taught to never be the aggressor and only act when YOU are at threat

      Wear & Carry Permit Rules for Gun Placement?

      Glad this was brought up. Just to clarify, if you have business right on Wear/Carry Permit Can you have a combination lock box, affixed say underneath a seat, with revolver and your CASH for purchasing items. So handgun would not always be on your person, but in vehicle. Also for times, when...
