      WV Property-Search thread:

      Yup, most of the properties in the Eastern part of the state (where timber and tanneries were the main industries) convey fee simple. Always check, though, because there are outliers, and not all involve extraction. For example, there’s a handful of lots in our development have easements for...

      Question about out-of-state sale of non-MD compliant magazines

      Seeking builder recommendations

      We’re working with an architect to do a custom, mid-century style house. It’s a “lifelong dream” kind of project that we’ve been saving for for eons, but I do not recommend that approach unless you want to burn money. When I priced out new construction from builders a couple years ago (before...

      Question about out-of-state sale of non-MD compliant magazines

      With the caveat that I’m sure I can use the ole’ Google to eventually figure this out, I thought I would ask here first because some of you likely already know the answer: Would it be legal to sell a handgun with non-MD compliant magazines to an out-of state purchaser residing somewhere where...

      Seeking builder recommendations

      We’re in the early stages of designing a home on our land near Romney. I was wondering if anybody had experience with builders in that area, or in the eastern WVA/Winchester area in general, that they would recommend.

      Help finding a Collection

      Anybody can file a police report if they know about a theft; opening the estate shouldn’t be a condition precedent to filing a report. The estate would need to be open to receive and transfer the firearms if they were recovered, but you should be able to file a police report today with the...

      Where we were looking, and ended up buying, the only options are DSL, 4/5G wireless, and satellite. When we toured properties, we brought a Verizon phone and an ATT phone and checked signals on both at & around the potential build sites. Particularly in the mountains, signal can get great on...

      Any winter camping experience?

      Some others have mentioned it, but properly rated bags/tents and insulated ground pads are a must. I guarantee you that zero folks in your kids troop have bags rated to handle below freezing temps. Those “20 degree rated” bags from REI or wherever are really three-season bags and the kids will...

      WV Property-Search thread:

      We bought outside Moorefield. It has the basics: a Walmart, Tractor Supply, drug store, some restaurants, etc. hardly a “city,” but it has everything you need for basic life support and creature comforts. Nice river access, too, if you like paddling and fishing. It’s about 45 minutes to an...

      H&K (umarex) Rimfire MP5

      I have the gen 1 Umarex “M4” and it is good for what it is. Accurate enough to hit paper at 50 yards and fun while you’re doing it. I have lots of light primer strikes if I don’t routinely strip it and clean the bolt. Supposedly the gen 2 version was much better. As the previous poster said...

      WV Property-Search thread:

      Some properties we looked at out there that have extraction or transmission easements (think high-voltage transmission lines or a gas pipeline through the property) include free [whatever utility is using the easement] for the property owners. Just a guess, but maybe a gas extraction company...

      GULAG MD: Dems Last Gasp

      The Rucho and Shelby County cases were real blows to democracy. Everyone should have the right to be a meaningful part of determining who their elected representatives are—in Maryland and elsewhere.

      GULAG MD: Dems Last Gasp

      The redistricting we’re talking about is for Congressional districts, not state legislative districts. MD is roughly 2:1 D:R and the General Assembly is almost exactly that same composition. As far as I can tell, the redistricting isn’t changing that.

      GULAG MD: Dems Last Gasp

      I’ll give you two: Kansas. 31/69 D/R split, carved up to make all 4 congressional districts solid R seats. Previously KS-4 leaned D regularly. Nebraska. 28/72 D/R split. 3 of 3 solid red. NE-2 used to be competitive. The worst state gerrymanders arguably aren’t the ones where minority party...
