Welcome. Please go to the Maryland 2A forum and read about the event happening on Monday, then make plans to attend. Then join MSI. Then read the MSI legislation tracker. Can you be in Annapolis on Tuesday during the day? Come out and watch testimony, or give your own. It's easy. And fun.
Indeed. There was a disturbance in the force recently, and folks are preoccupied with that.
That said, we are a great bunch of mostly guys here. Considering the anti 2A sentiment in this state these days, we can be a bit suspicious of new folks sometimes. Nothing personal to you or any other new folks.
If you like your modern sporting rifle and your detachable magazines, there is no better time to get personally involved in the fight against the antis.
Welcome. The AGC Range in Marriottsville (just northwest of Columbia, MD) would be a great place to exercise that AR! See https://associatedgunclubs.org/ for more information
