      Bersa - Yes? No?

      Blaster, Yes, I did read the comments. You seemed to indicate that a Bersa was not trustworthy. I apologize if I misread you. I guess I am just passionate about Bersa firearms because I have had very good experiences with them and I believe they represent a great value.

      Bersa - Yes? No?

      Buy the Bersa I have a Bersa Thunder UC Pro 9 (the 9mm version of the pistol you are looking at). It is a fantastic pistol and is my ED carry. I am thinking about buying a second one as a spare. I have probably shot about 3,000 rounds through this pistol and I have not had one misfire-...

      DE to stop honoring NR permits

      Well, I do not think that was the case. It has been the law in Delaware since reciprocity was passed that Delaware residents needed to obtain a Delaware permit and could not rely on another state permit. The AG's website said as much last year. I think the Delaware AG tried to nullify...

      DE to stop honoring NR permits

      Well, clearly the Delaware AG wants to limit reciprocity to resident permits only (but the resident/non-resident distinction cannot be lawfully made under Delaware law for non-residents). We will need to keep an eye out for bills in the Delaware legislature. I would not be surprised if the DE...

      McAwful vetoes two gun bills

      Both Tom periello (former one-term Congressmen) and Ralph Northam (current Lt. Governor) are running for the Dem nomination in this year's gubernatorial race. Neither are very good for gun rights. I expect Northam will probably win the nomination since the Dem. establishment is solidly behind...

      Kolbe en banc decision

      This decision is unfortunate, but predictable news. At least in most 4th Circuit states (such as Virginia and West Virginia), there are state constitutional amendments independently protecting the right to bear arms. As such, in the event AWB type legislation is attempted (or passed), there...

      DE to stop honoring NR permits

      De AG website removed the questionable language Hey all. It appears that the AG has altered its website and it seems that the offending portion has been taken down. Hopefully, upon further review, the AG has concluded that the statute ( section 1441(j) ) does not give him the authority to...

      DE to stop honoring NR permits

      I agree with swinokur. The SC's interpretation of the Commerce Clause since the 1940's clearly gives a basis for a national reciprocity statute. I see no reasonable chance that a commerce clause challenge to a national reciprocity act would be successful. Unfortunately, it also seems unlikely...

      DE to stop honoring NR permits

      I agree. As pointed out in my posts on the other thread, it probably makes sense to alert the Second Amendment Foundation of this change (if they do not already know about it). I would suggest filing a motion for declaratory judgment in the Court of Common Pleas to have this section...

      DE to stop honoring NR permits

      As I wrote on the other thread noting Handgunlaw updates, I do not believe that this is a lawful distinction that the AG can make. For those interested, here is the operative portion of Section 1441(j)- again, note no distinction appears permissible between non-resident and resident permits for...

      2-15-17 News from Handgunlaw.us

      I believe the list is just an example of reasons why Delaware may not accept other state's CC permits. The statement in the announcement that non-resident permits will not be recognized post Sept. 23 is pretty categorical, so I believe the intent by the AG is to prohibit any carrying under...

      2-15-17 News from Handgunlaw.us

      For those interested, here is the operative portion of Section 1441(j)- again, note no distinction appears permissible between non-resident and resident permits for non-Delaware residents. The focus is on the "issuing state", not the state of the permittee's residence: (j) Notwithstanding any...

      2-15-17 News from Handgunlaw.us

      After reviewing the reciprocity statute (section 1441(j) ), it does not appear that the AG is authorized to distinguish between resident vs. non-resident permits of non-Delaware citizens. Someone should advise the Second Amendment Foundation of this change. Perhaps litigation could be...

      Question about Maryland respect for FOPA

      Reading the AG letter, it seems that the AG is arguging that, since it is generally not legal to "carry" a handgun in MD, that 18 USC 926A would generally not provide protection to MD residents when traveling interstate (unless if one had a MD CCP, I supppose). They sure do not make it easy for...

      Question about Maryland respect for FOPA

      Thank you everyone. And thank you for welcoming me to this forum. I am a resident of Fairfax County, VA (so I live close to MD) so I try to keep an eye out on the laws on your side of the Potomac. When I am transporting a pistol in MD, I am always passing on from my home in VA to another...
