Hi, there,
My name is Matt, and I am a 30-something government worker who currently lives in Arlington, VA. I am also recently engaged to my fiancé of two years. While I am excited for this next chapter in my life, the bad news for me is that moving in with my fiancé means leaving the 2A-friendly haven of VA to live in the less gun-friendly Rockville/North Bethesda area of Maryland (I expect to formally change my residency early next year).
I've been preparing for this move for the better part of a year. As a VA resident, I've developed an extensive collection of handguns, as I enjoy collecting 1980s and 1990s-vintage Wonder Nines (Beretta 92F, SIGs, 2nd Gen Glocks, etc.) A few years ago, I also got bitten by the AR-15 bug and now own four AR lowers and five uppers. My favorite AR is my Daniel Defense M4A1; I recently took the upper to Engage Armament to have the Gov-profile barrel replaced by a heavy SOCOM barrel from a Brownell's custom URG. I also have a BCM Recce-14 upper that I expect to get the MD-compliant treatment from the kind folks at Engage. (My other uppers, a Colt M4A1 SOCOM upper and two Olympic Arms uppers, have heavy barrels already.)
Hope to become a member of this community and learn more about the in's and out's of being a gun owner in Maryland.
Regards,
- Matt
