      trees

      That was from the "flush tax" sewer plant upgrade fee. It happened because "someone" needed quick money for "something," and both the Repubs and Democrats refused to enact a "lock box" legislation (which *is* included in the rain tax law..3 years later). The money from the flush fee *WAS*...

      trees

      OK, here are the actual facts - no spin. Ignore the rain tax for a minute. The Bay TMDL "Pollution Diet," which is the federal mandate requiring each state in the watershed to clean up about 25-40% of its water pollution by 2025, is the driving force of all of this. It was finalized in...

      Scout Leaders... Winter Camp Firewood

      Glad to see so many people well informed on this topic. At the time of the invasion in 2003 (?) I had business with the nursery in HoCo who accidentally imported ash trees from a banned state (Michigan). Those trees were full of those horrible beetles. I say accidentally because he purchased...

      hunting lease property wanted.

      Not trying to flame, but the time to figure that out is usually around March-April, and "put your money on the table time" is usually July. If you don't have access in HoCo and you bow hunt, actually, you have all the access in the world. If you don't bow hunt, start. Immediately. Also the...

      Kolbe v O'Malley Motion For Summary Judgement Filed 17 March 2014

      A fair point, I hadn't really considered that.

      Kolbe v O'Malley Motion For Summary Judgement Filed 17 March 2014

      Yes, that months and years of training. And after retirement, when the exemption from the AWB continues for retired officers, where are the timely proficiency exams and mental health / background checks? All of us are completely aware that the law was written to draw into limbo the officers'...

      Now that full lowers are allowed - what about 80%?

      Ding ding ding "cannot be manufactured or assembled into a banned configuration" is the MSP language I recall, and that I will continue to to abide by.

      "In common use"

      This is one of my fallback positions on ARs' "common use" as well. However if you read the findings in this case, it appears that the plaintiff (our side) structured the argument specifically around home defense, allowing the defense and the judge to ignore AR use by hunters. IANAL, but I...

      Kolbe v O'Malley Motion For Summary Judgement Filed 17 March 2014

      Fair point, but by the same token, we wouldn't blame O'Malley for SB 281. Which we do. Or at least I do.

      Obviously, you already know that the Flush Tax was passed by a Republican governor.

      ATF raid for client list

      Fair enough. Good luck. I'll be the first to admit my error and incorrect assumptions if that's how the tea leaves start shaking out. It'd be nice if I'm wrong, in a lot of ways. Maryland gun owners won't have another (legal) crack at 80% lowers (EP's or any others) for the forseeable...

      ATF raid for client list

      A civil restraining order doesn't mean squat against a criminal search warrant that a judge deems to be legal. I think we can all agree that BATFE at this point is lying about their understanding of the EP80 manufacturing process. They've been corrected and they continue to ignore it...

      ATF raid for client list

      Yes. I'm following it closely. So far (connected or not....who knows?): 1. ATF busts illegal AR sales ring run by illegal immigrants in CA. 80% lowers are in the mix, not documented whether they are EP80s, polymer, metal, etc..????.. 2. BATFE reviews what they believe to be the EP80 mfg...

      Carroll County-No Rain Tax!!!

      Not to rain on anybody's parade, but that's a very thin, selective statement. The pollution in the main stem of the Bay comes in large part from the accumulated sediments that are largely from Conowingo and the Susky. Not ACTIVE sediment - because the dam traps it under most conditions. The...
