That is hilarious. So for a $40 stripped lower you can save yourself the expense of a HQL trainning class and get a ar15 lower to stick it to the man. Definitely not what O'Malley had hoped for.
Once again that was language inserted by our guys in Annapolis. you know while we were wasting our time.. maybe we can do more this year..
Nah, I think for the most part they embrace them. Just read some of the first hand accounts of miserable dealings with barracks firearms transfers and CCW interviews. Of course I'm not implying "most" or even a majority, but, let's all agree there's quite a few that are/have been real pricks to deal with.At some point you have to start feeling bad for the MDSP, knowing that they have to deal with how poorly the laws were written...
Excellent.
My wife is deciding that she wants her own handgun. It would be her first.
So I can transfer a lower to her and she would be exempt from the training requirement.
Except she thinks a training class is a good idea. I'll have to explain the infringement part to her.
You could build an M14 pistol or SBR.
...and then, build it into a rifle?? Just like an AR receiver?
Unfortunately not.
The reason you can buy an AR lower (papered out as an "other") and build it into a rifle is that there exists a legal rifle configuration, being an HBAR AR. With an M14, the only legal configurations I can think of are SBR, pistol, or shotgun (or AOW or SBS I suppose).
I wonder if one that was built as a manually operated rifle (by welding up the gas system) would be legal.
We had a student try the Minnesota hunter safety course and they denied it. This was early last year, though.Or the Texas On Line Hunter Safety course.
