      New member from VA

      Another defector from VA! I’ve actually enjoyed being a MD resident for the past few months (despite all the warnings that VA was so much more conservative than it’s communist neighbor). Then again, I came from Fairfax county, so it’s not really like I came from the beacon of freedom...

      Cash on hand ?

      There was a point where I had an assortment of airplane bottles of various liquors that I planned to use to barter if cash lost value and if the person I was making a transaction with was more interested in a buzz than silver. I’m a firm believer that everything has value; some things just hold...

      Hey, I’m new here

      Parttimer, thank you! I’m going to share that list with my wife. Are there any good public outdoor shooting ranges in the area? One big thing I miss about California is being allowed to drive to the desert and shoot whatever/wherever I want on BLM (Bureau of Land Management, not the other BLM)...

      WHY does my background check get delayed EVERY time I buy a long gun?!?

      Idk, man. Just because someone has a clearance doesn’t mean they’re all law abiding citizens. At the same time, just because someone doesn’t have a criminal record doesn’t mean they aren’t criminals. I welcome all conspiracy theories as to why my background is always delayed lol. My quickest...

      WHY does my background check get delayed EVERY time I buy a long gun?!?

      So I heard this the other day when I was buying a gun from a VA FFL (VSP does the background so it didn’t make perfect sense, but I am ALWAYS delayed so I’ll believe anything at this point) According to this guy, someone has to hold an equal clearance to look through a cleared individual. So...

      New from Jarrettsville

      Welcome! I’m new on here too. I own a few S&W revolvers, but I do know that Ruger of yours is built like a tank. Good choice. I can be kind of a prima donna when it comes to trigger actions because I own Performance Center models, BUT I will say that your stock Ruger trigger probably doesn’t...

      Hey, I’m new here

      Just different styles of douchiness. In LA, people are really good at being bad drivers. In the DMV, people are really bad at being bad drivers. I’ve never seen people driving 25 mph on the freeway with their hazard lights on during a heavy drizzle until I moved here. I’ve also never...

      East Owings. Huntingtown was on our radar. Very nice looking area.

      Hey, I’m new here

      Yep. Found one park in Dunkirk when we were home shopping. Later that day we walked around North Beach. Finding these little perks played a huge role in decided to live in the area.

      Hey, I’m new here

      Hahaha And to make matters worse, I learned to drive in LA... but I drive with the flow of traffic. I would never impede the flow of traffic by driving slow; that would be dangerous!

      Hey, I’m new here

      Yeah someone was telling me about commuter buses the other day. I have a very unusual and infrequent schedule so I’m not sure how often I’ll be able to use a bus. And I’m enjoying it here so far. Friendly people, no charge to take garbage to the dump, and it has a rural feel to it even though I...

      Hey, I’m new here

      I appreciate the warm welcome. I’m not too stressed about the gun laws. Fortunately I’ve been preparing for ammo and toilet paper shortages since before it was cool. I’m just patiently waiting for the panic hoarders to default on their credit cards and start selling ammo/guns at discount...

      Hey, I’m new here

      I’m originally from southern CA but have been living in VA for the last 6 years. Just moved to Calvert county with my wife and daughter. All my conservative friends asked why I was leaving VA for MD... 1. Between tolls and traffic, I-66 has been slowly killing me. 2. Gov. Northam is an...
