    I'm here to keep up to date on our crappy Maryland gun laws and hopefully learn a thing or two. I just had a bad experience with a new local "gun store" so, just want to deal with reputable and well priced places from now on. Thanks!!

    Welcome from west of Fredneck. What do you like to shoot. What was the bad experience, without naming names? Check out the IP map. Gym Ratz is in your neck of the woods and has great prices.

    Hey Boss thx for the welcome. My shooting likes are everything I own. I just purchased a 30-30 Marlin lever and am anxious to shoot her. Long story short, I ordered a handgun for my wife and one for me. They came a week apart, I dropped off my sites to get put on while I wait the 7 days and they put them on somebody else's gun and didn't tell me, I had to inquire about them(took 2 days for a answer), 2 weeks in and they still have pistol. Oh yeah, I ordered a holster a month ago and still don't have that. That's all.....smh

    Welcome from Montgomery County. I'm sorry to hear about your bad experiences with your LGS. You definitely need to hook up with one of the IP's on this site.

    Thanks everybody!! It wasn't Fred's. Fred's is really expensive but, I have never had any issues there with anything other than they seem to have really dead personalities. Laplata is the key word. Unfortunately I am still dealing with them and I have an upcoming class that, I hope they can handle professionally.

    Welcome from just North of you.
    Sorry you're having a bad experience. Try the vendors who are members here. They don't have the entitled "we're the only game in town" attitude you'll fined on Rte 301.

    Welcome to the forum! Cheers!

    By the way, newbie here as well. A photographer by profession, I usually travel around, camera in the trunk and my dog at the backseat, secured in his dog crate. I’ve been going around the various states looking to take the best scenic photographs ever. Cheers!

    sad to hear you are having difficulties with the la plata shop. it's where I picked up my first handgun. owner was present at my HQL training otherwise I would have never known the shop existed(they are fairly new). the staff was friendly when I made my purchase, they happened to have what I was looking for in stock so I only had the standard 7 day wait with no other issues.

    is your upcoming class with FTI?
