      Recoil Spring for Walther P22

      The Walther P22 is notoriously picky with any ammo that's not CCI, and mine is no different in this regard. Lots of FTF's, and a few FTE's with anything that's not CCI. (I've never seen a slide catch a shell horizontally like that; I was expecting a stovepipe) I was talking to someone at Hap...

      NY SAFE Act - Hoist by his own petard

      http://www.buffalonews.com/city-region/buffalo-public-schools/associates-defend-man-who-had-gun-in-school-20140207 TL;DR: a man who campaigned for the NY SAFE Act, which among other things makes bringing a firearm into schools a felony...is arrested for doing just that. :) Golden part: He...

      No, Florida, bad! Legalizing warning shots is a stupid idea.

      http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2014-01-08/news/os-warning-shots-immunity-20140108_1_self-defense-law-senate-panel-fire-warning So because one woman got caught up in 10/20/Life rule (and I'm not convinced that case was as cut-and-dried as the MSM likes to present) you have to amend the SYG...

      Minors and Handguns - to the range

      I'm aware that even under SB281 I can allow someone without their HQL to use my handgun at the range while I'm present. (I know that the requirements are not exactly that strict - but when my firearm is heading to range I'm not going to pass up an opportunity to tag along. :) ) I don't have an...

      Deposits for G&S - CCW question

      I thought about this today while driving home from an event in Parkville with ~$900 in the cash box. Does this apply if the business is a non-profit organization not based in MD? I am the regional event coordinator for such a group and perform cash deposits after events where the...

      Help me pick apart this gun-grabber's commerical

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LORVfnFtcH0 Ironic that I've seen talk on these boards that C&R guns like this are legal for CCW :) A lot of small firms don't have physical security where you can't access most of the building (except reception) without an access card or someone buzzing you in...

      DC Businessman arrested for unregistered ammunition

      http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/23/miller-dc-businessman-faces-two-years-jail-unregis/ Looks like someone without sufficient connections in DC is gonna go down for a box of .40 Cal. I don't repeat the "faces 2 years" because we all know about piling on the charges.

      Paint a wall in my basement

      It's not a big job, and I could probably do it myself, but hey, let's support the community - and I'd rather pay someone who knows what they're doing. I've had mold removed from my basement (twice in the same spot, near the HVAC, stupid condenser line) and the drywall replaced. The wall isn't...

      MD Corruption Risk Report Card - nothing we didn't already know

      http://www.stateintegrity.org/maryland 40th in the nation. For the record, PA is 20th; DE 22nd; WV 29th; VA is 47th (I had heard VA's laws were pretty bad.) A lot of this has to deal with oversight & public access requests...and MD does not do too well there.

      Transportation of ammunition purchased in PA into MD

      This is a 'due diligence' post. My mother in law found a deal on a large amount of ammunition for me. Is it legal to have her pick it up, purchase it, and transport it to me (via brother-in-law) as a gift? I can't think of any reason why not. I know can pick it up myself and take it home, so I...

      Proposed Testimony for the COMAR hearing 9/23

      Tell me what you think. Deaf ears and all...but it's a starting point. In the lean manufacturing philosophy, defects are seen not as a problem with the employee that caused them but as a management issue. Management should implement processes in order to keep a defect introduced - at any...

      Walther P22 and .22LR hollowpoint

      I've got a Walther P22, and because I'm a relatively new firearm owner, I don't have a stockpile of ammo handy. My family in PA was able to find some Hollowpoint .22LR, but the salesguy at the shop said that they shoot like crap through a pistol. Is this correct, or is this guy just trying...

      Delegate Justin Ready's Response to this 77R fiasco

      Friends, Many firearm owners and prospective buyers have been waiting for months to have their background checks and forms approved to take home their handgun from the store. Maryland State Police had an extremely large backlog and it was perceived that they were delaying intentionally...

      CC Times Editorial today

      Normally we're no fan of the times around here, but an editorial today caught my eye. http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/columnists/opinion/tom_harbold/tom-harbold-law-won-t-reduce-gun-violence/article_b9fc6032-050b-5730-a5b9-bd5137809ca5.html

      Screwing up the 77R

      So I got back in the line dance today and purchased an AR lower. Considering that I've filled out the paperwork a grand total of two times, I screwed up question 1 on the 77R. I think I was thinking "do you certify that you are over 21 and this is not a straw purchase" (which would be correct...

      Pawn Shops & 8th Day Release

      I wanted to call attention to this. A lot of dealers are nervous (understandably) about releasing firearms without any sort of check. Dealers are running out of space holding onto guns they don't want to release. Post Oct-1 a lot of people are going to need an HQL to take handguns...

      Modified Liberator Pistol printed on much cheaper printer

      Via boingboing. Via Forbes. The part that hit home? The printer used (the AO-101) was the exact printer I've been looking at purchasing! (Long story, will spare you it, not in scope of this board.) I figured I'd be able to print a few magazines for the P22 I'm in the queue for...but to be...

      Yet another FNG from W'minster

      So hi there. I'm living in Westminster currently, and grew up around firearms but don't currently own any. I'm looking to get back into it, especially now that SB 281 has put this cute little deadline in place. I'll probably start simple, probably either with a Marlin 60 or a Ruger 10/22...
