      That's fantastic, thank you!

      SP5 Modifications for SBR?

      Count me in for one.

      NFA Picture Thread

      FTFY. Basically MSP have decided that SBRs are rifles when it's convenient for them and pistols when they want them to be. It makes no sense.

      Mark Pennak of MSI on Kojo Nnamdi February 7

      Mike: For what it's worth, I am a card carrying member of MSRPA. I became one when I realized last year how much you and the organization do for us here in Maryland, and I'll keep renewing every year and donating extra when I can afford it. Please believe that you and MSRPA are not...

      Senate Bill 737 - Register Your Long Guns With MSP

      Well, NRA and MSRPA's Malpasso v Palozzi case is one, but groups like the SAF and GOA have also worked directly for us here. I think that the big bats as far as actual influence with people in Annapolis goes are still with MSI though. Last I knew all of that ends up sitting in some shipping...

      Senate Bill 737 - Register Your Long Guns With MSP

      Well, you've always been able to voluntarily register guns in MD if you wanted to. Why you would I have no idea. :) No worries. There's a lot of that going around today. I'm pretty damn upset myself. That right there points out the idiocy of the whole scheme to begin with. "That...

      Senate Bill 737 - Register Your Long Guns With MSP

      No, they do not. You DO NOT fill out any MSP paperwork on a non-regulated long gun sale. You do the 4473, and that's it. Maryland has ZERO knowledge of any non-regulated firearm sale. Period. Then please, and I say this respectfully, stop giving out bad information. No, it's not good enough...

      Senate Bill 737 - Register Your Long Guns With MSP

      Nope. That's only for "regulated firearms" (i.e. pistols, these days). This bill does not make long guns "regulated," it just puts these additional controls on them. In fact, the specific line of the bill says "B) A PERSON MAY NOT PURCHASE MORE THAN ONE RIFLE OR SHOTGUN OTHER THAN...

      Senate Bill 737 - Register Your Long Guns With MSP

      EXACTLY. You can almost see where they said "wait, stick this line in there so the hunters won't care. Stick that line in there so the LEOs won't care. Stick that line in there so the layman won't care. Then we've got them." Almost certainly. With the Democrat supermajority in both houses...

      Senate Bill 737 - Register Your Long Guns With MSP

      Ok. I just gave the text of the bill a read-through, and while it is horrible, reprehensible, and unconstitutional, there are some misunderstandings, too. I hope so. Actually, that would be legal. There is an exception for transfers between "immediate family members" which is defined in...

      Senate Bill 737 - Register Your Long Guns With MSP

      Oh you're right. The purchase must still be legal in both states, though, so again if this bill passed, it would be illegal for a Maryland resident without an LGQL to buy a long gun anywhere, in state, out of state, face to face, or otherwise.
    12. Hawkeye

      Senate Bill 737 - Register Your Long Guns With MSP

      I think this was your point, but that would be illegal also - residents of two different states can not sell any gun face to face. It must be handled by an FFL in the state of residence of the purchaser.
    13. Hawkeye

      Senate Bill 737 - Register Your Long Guns With MSP

      Because it would become illegal on a Federal level. An FFL is only allowed to sell to someone who resides in a different state if that sale would be legal in the state where the FFL is AND in the state of residence of the purchaser. If it becomes illegal to sell a long gun to anyone who doesn't...

      Senate Bill 737 - Register Your Long Guns With MSP

      No they do not. They have a registry of regulated firearms. This is all handguns and what were the formerly "regulated rifles" which are now banned. MD does not have any way of knowing about "normal" long guns that you own. They will if this bill passes, but they do not now.

      Trigger options for a classic Sig Pxxx

      That's not unique to SIGs, it's just a characteristic of a DA/SA trigger. I know you know this, but practice, practice, practice. Dry fire the crap out of it, and concentrate on maintaining a steady even pull and letting the sear release surprise you. You can t rain out the flinch. This is...
