Excellent dsescription of the MSP process.
But just for Devil's Advocate, I'll point out the factor that may be the Achilles heel for some people. The buyer and seller have to meet in person twice. If both are close to each other , and have normal people schedules , no problem. But if they...
Opps , I was excessively subtle in my previous post. when I said -
" And the PROBLEM comes when they extrapolate that into ; 3. Anybody who isn't just like me is a fool and a menace to society. *
That section was intended to be pointed out as mistaken reasoning on a cpl of levels...
Let me preface by saying I am highly in favor of knowledegable and skilled gun owners, and have a high standard of the knowledege that gun owners, and those who carry * should * have. And further tip of the hat to our many Instructors who do a great job teaching, and encourage all to seek...
Abrasive snap caps.
But as long as CA has an exemption for LE agencies , they won't be effected. :
1. While brand G and brand M&P are highly popular , there are a whole buncha guns that are capable of LE Duty.
2. How would G or S&W stop them ? They can discontinue factory direct...
And several of those "Felons" migth not be actual felons, but cought in Md's double shuffle. ie convicted in another state for an offense which would be disqualifing in Maryland, but not on the basis of the laws under which they were actually convicted.
And in another intersting observation...
This thread is presuming you refer to the Handgun Roster Board , rather than the Handgun Permit Review Board, both of which are independent Boards and not MSP per se.
*just to keep straight*
I think I'm following the latest developements , in regards to speculation of advancing to SCTUS. How does this play in the more direct sense of 38.8 million people being able to get Permits ?
While I can follow the reasoning that MSP is using , there is a strong case that it is misaplied as relates here regarding the RE biz. I would offer the comaprison of requiring a new car dealer to get a letter of permision from General Motors.
Plan A would be to apeal to the Board , and...
I was meaning that Md is the opposite as regarding restriction on even unloaded transport , much less loaded carry contained in 4-203 . Meaning that in Md a Permit is required for virtually any situation of having a handgun even somewhat available on a day to day basis. The conversation about...
In jurisdictions where permits are issued at county level , I have heard of 15% , and there may well be higher somewhere. But on a statewide basis , the highest I have seen is 6% .
But .44Man does have a point. For example in KY , even before permits were available , open carry AND loaded...
Jaybeez has a good point, rather than "only" talking about the % of *gun people* who will apply for a permit, there are large numbers of citizens who aren't otherwise firearms recrecreationists, who desire the ability to protect themselves.
Wisconsin is not that bad of a comparison. No...
Fabs was close at #522 . Just need to add "sucuessfully complete parole ". At least one state routinely grants Pardons at that point. To be hyper cautous add a time peroid of no further convictions or pending charges for a set period of time after completing sentance/ parole/ probation. To...
Ok let's keep some perspective.
IF Hogan had campained openly to reform CCW and bring back EBR's , we would be having these conversations in a thread about Gov Brown's initives.
IF Hogan or Pallozi had mentioned broadening the definition of G&S or cleaning up COMAR, we will be starting...
Meanwhile back at OP's inquiry :
Consult your prospective local FFL as to their policies and fees for transfers. IF you will need a fired case, it greatly simplifies the process to have your transfer done by an FFL that is also an 007 . ( No, none of this makes actual sense, just accept...
Brown managed to loose. Ok, that's a little harsh, but Brown was a very submarginal candidate, the Dem Party was underwhelmed in their enthusiasim. Combined with Hogan being a strong candidate, and his economic message made unpresecedented inroads ( by Md standards) into core Dem areas.
Now...
Interviews of applicants. Interviews of refrences, spouses, current and former employers, and any and everyone else that peeks their intrest from those interviews. Release of complete medical records. Etc.
The (more than 365 , but still relatively modest number) applicants post decision...
