      Opinions on the Vedder Comfort Tuck IWB holster?

      Anybody using a Vedder comfort tuck? I'm looking for a (as comfortable as possible) inside waistband holster for my Kahr PM9. Came across these. I like the set up and the leather portion between the gun and your skin. Curious to hear from anyone here who may own one and get their thoughts...

      Why the delay in W&C Permit "acceptance"

      Does anyone know or understand the cause of delays in accepting wear and carry permit applications? Seems like some folks get accepted in just a few days, others wait weeks. I'm currently on day 8 after submitting with no movement. My prints were done 8 days prior to submitting my...

      Wear & Carry expiration date - should I delay submitting?

      My understanding is the W&C permit expires at the end of your birthday month two years later. My birthday is in October. If my fuzzy math is right, if I get approved in November I get basically another full year on the house before I need to renew. Two years and then the following Oct. Is it...

      Looking for a nightstand safe

      I'm looking for a simple easy to use handgun nightstand safe. This would be used at our beach place so I'm interested more in simply keeping young hands safely away from my revolver. Theft protection is not a big issue for me. I want to be able to get to it when I need it. Don't want to spend...

      SUBMITTED TO APPLICATION POOL

      So I'm now officially on day 8 in the MD "7-day waiting period" and my status on the Licensing Portal states "submitted to application pool." Can anyone tell me what this means? I assume at this point the FFL is legally allowed to release the firearm to me but not required to do so, correct?

      Looking for a CCW revolver

      I've always had a fondness for wheel guns. I have a couple carry semi-autos and I'm thinking about picking up a carry revolver I've been out of the gun shopping game for a while now so I'm curious to hear recommendations on good carry revolvers. Looking for compact in size, light weight...

      Groundhog under shed

      Got a big fat groundhog living under my shed. Should I kill this thing or just let it be? Wife thinks it's cute. I'm wondering what it's doing to my yard. Can I shoot this thing legally? This is Queen Anne's County. It's not really bothering me but I have heard stories of what these...

      Just a quick question. I'm trying to remove my Eotech 512 holographic sight and I have tried every allen wrench I have and can't find one that fits. Anyone know the size so I can run to the hardware store and pick one up? Thank you in advance!

      Where is Hogan on G&S reform????

      I don't get on here as much as I used to but I swear the message to all of us was that Hogan was on our side regarding reforming the "good & substantial" clause for concealed carry. Word was he would strike that clause after the general assembly finished up in year one. He would appoint a CC...

      I was able to contact newly nominated Republican Jeff Ghrist (R-36 delegate nominee) and get his stance on 2A rights since he has beaten Mike Smigiel in the primary. Here is what he said.

      HQL Warranty Question

      I bought a revolver a couple months ago, went though the background check and all. It has since had to go back to the manufacturer for warranty repairs. My question is, if they have to swap the gun out for a different one will I have to have a HQL to receive it from the dealer? This will be...

      Rossi issue - defect???

      Took my new Rossi 852 .38 spl revolver out for the first time yesterday. After putting around 20 or so rounds through it I noticed the rear site began to develop a clockwise twist to it which got a little worse as I finished out the box of 50. I tried adjusting the site and it still moved...

      How to clean up gun w/ corrosive ammo

      Can anyone give me some advice on cleaning up a rifle that I unfortunately shot corrosive ammo through and failed to clean? I have an AK74 and like an idiot I did not clean it right away after shooting it last time (a couple years ago) with corrosive ammo :mad54: Now it looks like it's...

      So what "final purchases" are you making?

      Curious if anyone else is in the process, or at least thinking about, making one final regulated firearms purchase before the new law takes effect Oct 1st? If so what are you planning to get and how far along are you in the process? I'm looking to pick up one last revolver. Thinking about a...

      Recommendation for FFL on Shore to do transfer?

      Looking for a recommendation on an FFL on the eastern shore that could do a transfer for me and not charge a fortune? May be ordering a gun online before our wonderful new law takes effect. :mad54: I'm in the Wye Mills area but I would probably be willing to travel up to an hour. Thanks.

      State Police comments in the Sun

      Did anyone see this in the Sun today? Sounds like, for now anyway, applications for CCW will be approved without G&S reason. Sure sounds to me that if the stay is denied they will be forced to approve permit applications...

      Confused - when do I apply for my ccw?

      I know the case is being appealed by Maryland. I know they are asking for a stay. Does this mean I should wait until the stay is (hopefully) denied and get my ccw application in before the appeal is heard? Is there any benefit to applying immediately, before the stay request is rulled on...
