      Question about Transprting handgun To/From the Range

      I agree. Stopping to get gasoline while en-route to/from the home/gun-shop/range is one thing, but given the ambiguity within COMAR, why would someone want to take an unnecessary risk and test the limits of COMAR/Statutue, only to risk being potentially charged with a firearms violation that...

      Question about 2 previous DUI's

      Very respectfully, I do still stand by my opinion that as the law is currently written, any Alcohol Related Offenses that resulted in either a Guilty Conviction or PBJ can NEVER be expunged. I'm basing my opinion on how I've come to interpret the language of the current Maryland Transportation...

      Question about 2 previous DUI's

      In theory - an individual who received PBJ for an alcohol related offense could in theory apply for a Pardon from the Governor, but this would only be done so because the defendant was seeking the restoration of civil liberties that were lost as a result of the PBJ; not as a means of attempting...

      Question about 2 previous DUI's

      If you were previously granted a PBJ for any alcohol related offenses, the rationale behind why this PBJ can NEVER by expunged is that in the opinion of the Maryland Legislature, you've already had your proverbial "one bite of the apple". In other words, you're not going to get a second bite...

      Question about 2 previous DUI's

      You're correct and I agree that "Never" is a strong word, unfortunately the fact remains that a PBJ for any DUI/DWI/Per Se related offenses can NEVER be expunged from the defendants record. I do believe that you can still apply to the Governor for a potential "Pardon", (good luck with that...

      Question about 2 previous DUI's

      Copied directly from the Maryland Department of Motor Vehicles per the Transportation Code: If you have ever been convicted of, or been granted probation before judgment (PBJ) for an Alcohol offense, these charges are never eligible for expungement. If you have received an alcohol offense...

      Question about 2 previous DUI's

      That is exactly correct. From approximately 1996 to the present, if you receive a PBJ for either DUI/DWI, it can NEVER BE EXPUNGED. A PBJ for DUI/DWI remains on your record forever and is available to both Judges and Prosecutors on what is known as a "segregated record". I am not 100% sure if...

      Trump to announce SCOTUS pick

      2nd Amendment & some insight into Gorsuch's views on armed citizenry On the other hand, there is reason for pause with Judge Gorsuch's record. Judge Gorsuch joined in one opinion, United States v. Rodriguez, 739 F.3d 481 (11th Cir. 2013), which causes us to have some concern about his...

      Double Action Only - Hammer Fired 9mm Pistol Recommendations

      Thanks so much for your input and suggestions. Through some of my research, I learned that some years ago, FN Herstal in Belgium (the manufacturer of the Browning SA Hi Power) had also manufactured some DAO 9mm handguns that were based on the Browning SA 9mm High Power. The one in...

      Double Action Only - Hammer Fired 9mm Pistol Recommendations

      That's for the recommendation - I wasn't aware of this particular model from Ruger; some quick research shows that it's actually the P89M model which has a DAO Trigger System. the P89 has a DA/SA Trigger System the P89M has a DAO Trigger System - which is what I'm searching for. Thanks again...

      Double Action Only - Hammer Fired 9mm Pistol Recommendations

      I was able to find several NIB examples of both the Sig 226 and 229 DAK that are available for sale on GunBroker and some other sites as well. The DAK (Double Action Kellerman) is an updated/hybrid Double Action Only Trigger system which would work for me. I'm not a fan of the H&K LEM Trigger...

      Double Action Only - Hammer Fired 9mm Pistol Recommendations

      Thanks for your input, however the Sig Sauer website advises that the Sig P239 is a Double Action/Single Action Trigger. Unfortunately, I'm looking for a 9mm Hammer Fired Pistol that utilizes a Double Action Only Trigger (DAO). Currently - only the Sig P250 meets that requirement. I'm...

      Double Action Only - Hammer Fired 9mm Pistol Recommendations

      Thank you for your help, however the Sig Sauer website advises that the Sig P320 is Striker Fired. Unfortunately, I'm looking exclusively for a 9mm semiautomatic pistol that is Hammer Fired (not Striker Fired) and utilizes a Double Action Only Trigger System (not a DA/SA double action/single...

      Double Action Only - Hammer Fired 9mm Pistol Recommendations

      Forgive my ignorance, but who makes the 229 DAK 9mm semiautomatic pistol? A google search brings up the Sig Sauer P229 which I believe is a DA/SA Hammer Fired Trigger only and is not available in DAO exclusively. I'm searching for a DAO (double action only) Hammer Fired Trigger only...

      Question about 2 previous DUI's

      In Maryland it is not possible to expunge DUI/DWI convictions from your criminal record. That means that prior drunk driving convictions in the State of Maryland will stay on your record forever. In fact, it is not even possible to expunge a DUI or DWI charge in Maryland if it resulted in a...

      New Member in Harford County

      The last time that I bought a firearm, George Herbert Walker Bush was occupying the Oval Office as our 41st President. It's now 28 years later and in the year 2017, there are certainly a lot more regulations to comply with before I'm able to go out and purchase that new Colt Cobra Revolver...
