      Carroll County Shoot-N-Eat

      Just got back from a few days in Ocean City and so this is my first chance to get online since the meet-up. I just wanted to give my sincere thanks to everyone for your extreme generosity with weapons and ammo and for making me feel so welcome. I had more fun than should be legal and I'm still...

      Carroll County Shoot-N-Eat

      Thanks for all the generous offers guys. I'll definately be there tomorrow. Can someone let me know where exactly the range is in relation to Westminster? How will I be able to identify the group? I'll be wearing a NY Yankees cap and a big smile on my face (appologies to all the O's fans on...

      Carroll County Shoot-N-Eat

      I'd love to shoot an AR, AK or Garand as these are the types of firearms banned in Australia but I enjoy shooting pretty much everything. Anyone know where I might be able to find this sort of ammo in the Pikesville area? The local Wally World was stripped bare when I looked yesterday.

      Carroll County Shoot-N-Eat

      I'm flying in from Australia to visit the in-laws and it just so happens that I will be there on the 21st. Like all good Australian's, I have been disarmed by my government but I would love the opportunity to participate in this shoot. If I supply some ammo, would it be possible for me to join...

      Australian Gun Laws

      Unfortunately the statistics tend to indicate that the gun laws have been somewhat successful. These laws were introduced as a reaction to one of the worst gun massacres in history and the unavoidable fact is that we have not had another mass shooting in the decade since the laws came into...

      Australian Gun Laws

      If it's centrefire and semi-auto then forget about it - you're not allowed to own one. My advice to everyone would be to assume that your government intends to make ALL weapons illegal. Buy every type of firearm you ever want to use and thousands of rounds of ammo for each weapon. If your...

      Liberals and guns

      Who let that one slip past the moderators at Daily Kos?. One of the best written arguments supporting the RTKBA I have read in a long time. Should have known better than to continue reading down into the comments section and now I feel like I need a shower to get the stink off of me.

      Australian Gun Laws

      It's a bit illogical but the Liberal Party are our conservatives while the Labor Party are our liberals/progressives. The two parties are actually pretty close to their American equivalents in terms of how far to the Left and Right they both are. For example, our conservatives (Liberal Party)...

      Australian Gun Laws

      There was a 1% levy added to evey Australian's income tax to generate a "Buy-Back Fund". Five Hundred million dollars was spent buying back semi-auto weapons from the population although only 5% of the weapons handed in were military style assulat weapons. It's estimated that around 40% of all...

      JPK1MD - the political climate was actually pretty conservative at the time which made the betrayal so much worse. The country had just elected John Howard as our Prime Minister after 13 years of continuous Labor Party rule (our equivalent of the Democrats). Howard's election win was a...

      Australian Gun Laws

      BigCity - Getting a handgun is extremely difficult in Australia. You have a couple of options though. Firstly you could get a job as a licensed security guard where the job requires you to be armed such as at a bank. Very few Australian security guards are armed so just being a Mall Cop isn't...

      Australian Gun Laws

      Now I know that residents of Maryland bitch about their tough gun laws compared to other states but spare a thought for those of us stuck in Australia. To Australians like me, Maryland (or even New York or California for that matter) look like heaven for gun owners. Let me give you an idea of...

      Non-citizen shooters

      Thanks everyone Wow, what a great forum. Thanks for so many detailed and informed replies. It looks as though I have a few options such as black powder, renting at a range or my preferred option of making some new friends:D. I plan to start building up evidence of Maryland residency next...

      Non-citizen shooters

      I'm an Australian citizen married to Baltimore girl and I'm hoping to get some advice about how I can legally purchase a firearm in MD. We live down-under at the moment but visit Maryland at least once a year where I'd like to teach my son how to shoot. I grew up on a farm where guns were the...
