Will the MD HQL license ever be axed?

20ravens52 · May 23, 2017

Does anyone think the HQL legislation will ever be repealed? I was hoping Hogan would do away with this nonsense, but I haven't heard anything of the sort.

I guess I should probably just leaving this God forsaken state..

Repealed, not a chance. But there is a chance it will be struct down by the courts.

Repealed, probably not.

Overturned, hopefully.

Hogan does not have legislative power, and the legislature has a Dem supermajority.

Find out who you delegates are and if Dem, make sure you help their opposition, either in the primary or the general. Also MSI as noted above.

Odds are low for repeal, unless the courts order it. It might be converted to a W&C permit if national reciprocity gets passed or the Supreme Court finds outside-the-home right to self defense.

Keep in mind VA and PA are turning purple insofar as guns. You can run, but not necessarily hide.

I would pay hundreds of dollars to see the look on Frosh's face if that happened

better chance of california gaining shall issue status than us appealing just a hql license.

Have a missed an instance where this state has ever "gotten rid of" any "tax" that they've created???

Sure something like tolls have been lowered (back to where they were already) but has anything that brought the state money ever went away?

i know the HQL requirement is silly. However, I sure hope you aren't saying you don't want to buy a gun because of it. It is just an old jim crow law. Don't let it hold you back. It is simple and cheap, and lasts 10 years. I already owned revolvers, so it cost me not much at all. Just patience.

I would like the hql to go away, but I can live with it.
What I really want to go away is 10 round restriction and ar15 and ak restrictions.

There is a way around the 10 round restriction. Buy HexMag True 10/30s. Then buy 30 round springs. Take a trip out of state and convert them.

Lawsuits are heard by Obama appointed judges. There is no hope for Maryland unless:
They tie the DNC and maybe Hillary to Seth Rich's death
Trump meets Chris Cuomo's standard of proving there is no proof of collusion with the Russians
The Democrats realize the media has been lying to them for years.
Trump and Jared finish 2 terms each.

That's exactly what people said when the law passed. Look around are their more, the same or fewer gun stores since them?

I have a bunch of 30 round mags.
What I mean is buying a pistol and get 10 round clips. Or make the dealer send the clips out of state.
It is just a retarded law.

I refuse to get an HQL thus I'm not buying any handguns.

Totally stupid and useless law. It doesn't improve public safety.

And this is exactly why these bull s--t laws come to be. The antis know we will bow down and accept them. Even make excuses why there not all that bad.

Will the MD HQL license ever be axed?
