What really matters with a bore lock is the fit of the butt of the cartridge. It doesn't have fit the chamber perfectly. Seems to me it would fit and snug up just fine.
Guess someone will find out.

And the same ones who are helping fund Kolbe vs Owe'Malley; but what do we know around here.

That's exactly right.
MSP is saying the ALG copycat provisions also apply to SBR's.
In MSP's eyes, apparently SBR's can be both.

I didn't read every comment in here but what if you buy a used SBR you wouldn't need a bore lock right? I thought those were only for new guns.

That is correct. No locks for used handguns.
How are you going to transfer it if it's not on the roster?

Your not. And as I mentioned and Engage clarified a Form 5 has to be done to even let the Roster Board take possession of the NFA device.
Guess they wanted to define SBR as handguns so no one could wear their NFA rifle as "open carry"?
I'm still stuck on how a State can make laws that change the Federal definition of things. *Looks at current pot laws*... Oh wait...
If the next AG is Frosh, I think you know the answer.
Who do you think started the Kolbe suite and went out and found the lawyers to take that case and the HQL suit?
How much time did you spend in Annapolis this session?
Shannon Alford was there every day, while in her lat trimester of being pregnant with her second child, up until the week before the Senate Gun Bill Day because of pending delivery date. In her stead, the lobbyist (Julia Pitcher Worchester) for the NRA presented their position in both the Senate and House gun bill days.
Yeah, MMMkkkk, the NRA hasn't been around to help. You keep believing that all you want. If you think SAF will do a better job (not saying they can't or won't) then feel free to bring a suite against the state and get Alan Gura to represent you.

People love to bash on the NRA, it seems to be a sport for the uninformed.
While I wasn't there I know from people heavily involved that the NRA has not abandoned MD.

Right on!
I don't know why it is so popular to be anti-NRA. For some reason it has become a badge of honor to be a gun owner against the NRA. This IMHO is silly.

Well since a SBS and SBR use the term rifle and shotgun in the definition it would seem that this law is quite unclear and therefore unenforcable.
I thought it was no fired shell casing for a used handgun but locks are still required.
Exactly. You won't be able to buy a used SBR under these guidelines unless it's on the roster as a pistol.

Used handguns still need MD approved locks. Used handguns don't need a fired shell casing.
Yup, right there on the 77r.
