So I decided I wanted to get another AR lower before the coronation tomorrow and the price jump that is sure to come with it. I drive over to the local gun shop that just opened up (not a new store, just a new location). I asked about AR lowers and they tell me they can order me stags for $125+tax. I tell them to go ahead and order me one. So they take down my information and when I get to address and I say "Maryland" the guy's face screws all up and he tells me he can't sell guns to Marylanders.
Now I realize Maryland has the regulated firearms deal, but I don't see why I can't buy a lower in another state and register it with MSP when I come back to maryland. But that's not even what this guy is talking about! He says that he can't even sell long guns to Marylanders and he said it was a federal law and that he couldn't sell guns to Marylanders or anyone from 6 other states. I told him he was wrong, but he can run his business however he wants.
And before all of that even happened I asked him about transfers and he told me he wouldn't transfer anything that he could sell me, because he wasn't going to let another dealer make money on it.
As a whole, the visit left a sour taste in my mouth and I regret purchasing a Blackhawk SERPA holster from them last Friday. I'm halfway tempted to go and return it.
