      New to Me 10mm

      Very nice purchase. I've heard good things about the 29, but don't personally own one. I bought a Colt Delta Elite back in the early 1990s and love shooting it. It's a larger framed 1911 so it's easy to handle, but does pack a bit of a kick depending on what you're using for ammo. I recently...

      ID proof required to buy ammo online?

      MD Ammo Shipments Thanks for clarifying the misinformation. I thought I had missed something. I've never had issues with this previously, despite living in MoCo. If someone is requiring your DL or refusing to ship, simply find a willing seller online who knows what the actual law is. There...

      NRA warns is may "Shut Down"

      On a side note here, I spoke with WLP at an NRA Foundation dinner event in McLean a few months back. He mentioned that the NY stunt being pulled by Cuomo will do significant harm to their ability to operate if it in fact is allowed to stand, which presumably will not be the case. However...

      MD Firearms Collector Questions

      Yeah - kinda odd, but I guess some folks are looking at old links or something (maybe old forms from their dealers) and are not just getting the new an improved form from the MSP website.

      MD Firearms Collector Questions

      Until a few months back, the form had an address going to the barracks in Jessup, MD, rather than Pikesville. It was subsequently corrected.

      MD Firearms Collector Questions

      Well hopefully it should be forthcoming. I was originally pretty riled about the wait, but after talking for a few mins to Sgt. Griffies, it was apparent that he was doing what he could to clear the backlog. Our State is the big issue here. Also, after having to deal with State Police...

      MD Firearms Collector Questions

      Jeez! We would have all been so much better off if we had done this a year or two ago and had a 2 week wait. :-) Did both of you guys send the forms to Pikesville, or to the old Jessup (incorrect) address that was on the form for years?

      The waiting is the hardest part, but rest assured, it should be in-hand reasonably quickly now (after 3 months). And once you have it, no worries and enjoy!

      MD Firearms Collector Questions

      How long have you been waiting? My wait was basically from the end of November 2008 til early April 2009. 4 months - might be more now, but no way to really tell.

      MD Firearms Collector Questions

      Nope - I actually received my letter back in the first week of April and was able to speak with the Sgt. again on the phone. He was quite helpful and noted that due to the volume, the loggin and mailing portion of the reply process was taking an inordiante amount of time. Everyone at...

      MoCo Gun Laws

      I live in Montgomery County and although Gilberts is nearby (and the folks are nice, as is the facility), my wife and I joined up at Blue Ridge Arsenal in Chantilly. A leisurely drive across the river and a quick jaunt out I-66 to Rte. 28 (across Rte. 28 from the Expo Center and back a few...

      Hey all. I'm a CPA stuck in tax season workin' 7 days per for the last month and a half. I live in Rockville, but if it was worthwhile, I was going to play hookie from the office and head to Frederick to check things out tomorrow. Bought an AK from Shooters last show at the Fairgrounds...

      Collectors Letter Arrived

      Sgt. Griffies of the MSP is now my hero :-) Got my approved "collector status" letter in the mail today (132 days door to door). And now, it's off to pick up the LR-308AP4!! Enjoy your weekends everyone!!

      Collectors Letter Arrived

      Hi all. Normally a good time to call Sgt. Griffies seems to be around 1:00 - 1:30 pm (Monday and Friday are the two days I spoke with him). He's very nice and helpful, but once he's approved the apps., then the mailroom has to handle things. My gut tells me that all of this stuff gets...
