      Draft of letter to our legislators

      I have been drafting a letter to our legislators. I am submitting it here for comment. You have my permission to use it as your own letter, and to make any modifications that you would like to make. Distribute it freely; I would like to see it uses by as many people as possible, and I would...

      Gun control - politicians are neither stupid nor ignorant

      Everyone here is an enthusiast of freedom, and we are also enthusiastic about our natural right to self defense, which includes the right to keep and bear arms. We all also know that gun control doesn't work, or the cities with the strongest and strictest gun control laws would be the safest...

      2A and Constitution perspective flawed?

      I am a staunch and unshakable believer in our natural right to keep and bear arms. This is something that is fundamental to a free human existence. As individuals, if we have the right to live (not be murdered), then the right to keep and bear arms is essential. I am often dismayed at the...

      Unclear about .308 even after searching

      I must have missed a clear answer somewhere, so forgive me for asking what is probably a very obvious question. Are .308 receivers regulated the same as 5.56/.223 receivers? Or are .308 receivers cash and carry? I have searched quite a bit but I haven't found anything definitive. Thanks in...

      How is the AR-15 as a 9mm rifle?

      I am seriously contemplating selling my Beretta Storm in order to build (or just buy) an AR-15 in 9mm. The magazines look a bit funny, but other than that, is this platform pretty good for 9mm? Specifically, I'm looking at going with Rock River Arms.

      Thinking of building a target stand for AGC range

      I was wondering how far apart the holes are at the range, because I want to build a target stand. I am also wondering if PVC is okay, or if I should really be using wood.

      SBR silliness question

      From the title, you can guess how I feel about SBR regulations. It's possible that there's something that I'm missing, though. I would love to own a H&K MP5, but I do *not* want to go through the hassle and the wait. If I can obtain a 9mm pistol, which is so much more concealable and fires...

      Permit to exercise rights = unconstitutional

      If we do not need a reason to exercise our rights, then we should not need a permit. A permit is the same thing as a reason and it is the same thing as permission. That requirement is indicative of privileges, not of rights. This is also similar to obtaining a permit to exercise free...

      In case you haven't seen this

      I see that there's a huge thread about Maryland and the silly "demonstrable cause" for carrying a handgun, but here's something recent in case you haven't seen it: http://patdollard.com/2012/03/maryland-law-requiring-good-and-substantial-reason-to-own-a-handgun-struck-down-by-judge/ I am...

      Marriottsville pistol range vs rifle range question

      Do they permit pistols in the rifle lanes at Marriottsville? I can understand why they wouldn't want you to shoot rifles in the pistol lanes, but it seems reasonable to be able to shoot pistols in the rifle lanes if you are also firing rifles in those lanes. It would be nice not to have to...

      Marriottsville Range - which club?

      I just signed up for a 5 year membership with the NRA tonight. I have been meaning to do this for quite some time, but now that I'm building my first AR-15, I want a place closer than Elk Neck to shoot at. Marriottsville is only about 20 minutes from my house, and I would love to shoot both...

      Completed my first lower build (w/pics)

      I completed my first build this weekend. It was definitely fun, and my parts seemed to be within spec, because I didn't have any problems. I went with a Palmetto State Armory stripped lower: and a CMMG parts kit: Based on the instructions given at AR-15.com, I began the build...

      Antique long gun appraisal in MD?

      My father has an old .410 shotgun and an old .22 and he would like to know what they are worth. Are there any good places in MD to take them and have them appraised?

      Palmetto State Armory Stripped Lower Receiver

      Today I signed for my PSA stripped lower receiver! I was very nicely impressed with its quality. The finish is perfect and I'll soon see how the fit is. I will be doing my first build next month, and I promise to document it with plenty of pictures. I have recently bought a CMMG lower parts...

      PapaSierra Cx4 trigger, hammer, and guide rod mods

      I just got my parts from PapaSierra today. They were very well packaged and they looked absolutely flawless. I dug right in and removed the spring off of the stock plastic guide rod and installed it onto the new one. That was only a few minutes of work and the result was great. It fit right...

      Second Amendment Fallacies

      Have you all read the following link: http://www.federalistblog.us/2010/09/second_amendment_fallacies/ Federalistblog might be reported as an attack page, but I don't see any malware there. The general gist, although everyone should read the blog carefully, is that the second amendment...

      AR-15 Build for Newb?!

      Hello, everyone. I have just joined the community, although I don't know why it took me this long. I have mostly been into pistols, but I am recently entering the realm of carbines, since I purchased a Beretta CX4 Storm. Now I have the bug to build an AR-15 and I would like to get everyone's...
