    Can new pistols be sold in Maryland? Since MD requires a spent shell casing with a new pistol, is it really new or is it used if it has been fired? Just wanted to stir the pot....

    Since many gun makers test fire their guns before shipping, your pot stirring is nullified. I can't remember if it is Brown or Wilson that say they fire at minimum 100 rounds out of each handgun before it is shipped.

    It is generally accepted that in order for a gun to be "used", a 4473 would have had to be filled out and completed for that gun.

    Don't forget we've set up an approved lock exchange so you don't ever have to buy a lock if the shop won't give you one.

    See the links in my signature.

    I have Omega and Borelock brands. They both suck as do the dealers who won't let you bring your own.

    List of approved locks

    As near as I can tell, the attachment is the current list of approved "integrated" locks. A lock from this list must be conveyed by a dealer on any transfer of a handgun made in 2003 or later. The law does not limit the sources from which a dealer may obtain the lock conveyed for any given transfer.

    Not sure, but you can always ask to borrow one: http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=71938


    :thumbsup::thumbsup: thank you. prefer to borrow for a couple days. I don't use nor like any bore lock device as could harm the barrel and crown. Why can't trigger locks be used?
    This is law that needs changed along with HQL . doesn't Heller decision against any locking device?

    Heller: Similarly, the requirement that any lawful firearm in the home be disassembled or bound by a trigger lock makes it impossible for citizens to use arms for the core lawful purpose of self-defense and is hence unconstitutional. Because Heller conceded at oral argument that the D. C. licensing law is permissible if it is not enforced arbitrarily and capriciously

    Maryland police supply is forcing me to buy one of their locks. Meanwhile, the Cop Shop says active LEOs are exempt. Wtf?

    You're trying to apply logic and reason to anti-civil-rights laws. It is not about safety. The purpose of the bore lock law is to add just one more barrier to legally purchasing a firearm. Trigger locks are easy to use and widely available, thus they don't get in the way as much. So they can't be used.

    Heller doesn't apply because the bore-lock law doesn't require them to be in place when the gun is stored. Heller only negates laws that the gun be stored with a lock in place.

    Logical, isn't it. Thank you. :thumbsup:
