      All, As a PSA to anyone with a giggle switch in Maryland, the annual tax... I mean, machine gun registration is now open. Please don't become a felon by forgetting to do this annual silliness. In solidarity.

      Salisbury University off campus shooting 9/14/23

      I didn't hear about this in the news nor see it covered anywhere, but my wife's hairdresser is the mom of a student who was at this shooting on Sept. 14th. Bunch of guys were watching a football game in their off campus house when two guys not associated with the university or the fraternity...

      2023 Machine Gun Registration

      Public service announcement to all Maryland machine gun owners.... It is May. Time to pay the MD State Police their annual kickback for them to allow you to continue to exercise your right as a law-abiding American. I will say, they finally got the kinks out of the on-line system, so at least...

      W&C renewal in Carroll County recommendation

      So my permit expires in August and I need to do a renewal. Plus my HQL is going to expire this year (can't believe it has been a decade already since the FSA). Now that we are post Bruen, my wife also wants to take a class and get her first permit. I liked the guy that did my original course...

      Maryland Constitution and Firearms

      Now that there is a serious push to amended the MD state constitution yet again (I think there are 4 bills all having to do with adding abortion rights to the constitution this session), I'm wondering if there is anyone in the MGA that has the guts to stand up and say we need a 2A like Amendment...

      Any gun bingos coming up around central MD?

      My wife likes bingo... I like guns... so sportsman/gun bingos wind up being a good date night. Anyone know of any firehalls that are planning one sometime in the next few months? Thanks.

      Suppressor recommendations for an M-11

      Question for the brain trust. For the first time in a while, I have no NFA items waiting in jail, so I figured it is time to start the cycle again. Thinking about finally getting a suppressor for my M-11... running full auto suppressed should be fun. Any recommendations? I'm guessing that a...

      Carroll County Board of Education

      Trying to do my research in advance of early voting days. These are supposed to be "non-partisan" positions, so you can't get a sense of general alignment by party affiliation. Right now the Sample Ballot has: Tara Battaglia Patricia Ann Dorsey Amanda Jozkowski James Miller Tom Scanlan Steve...

      A case to be made for "sporterized" antiques

      OK... I'm not advocating destroying valuable antiques or C&Rs to create bubbas... but there are plenty of sporterized rifles out there already. I have picked up a few "modernized" antique rifles in recent days (pre-1899 Mausers, Krags, etc.) that have been outfitted with modern stocks, bedded...

      Range report on an old coach gun

      Picked up an old depression era 20 ga. Davis and Sons coach gun a couple of weeks ago and after giving it a through inspection and function test, I decided to take it out for a run on father's day. Ran some low power shot through it first and it patterned decent enough for a relatively short...

      Disapproved on 77R... one sleepless night

      So... I'm offering this story as a PSA to anyone who gets an unexpected "Disapproved" evaluation on a handgun application... stay calm, it just might not be you. I found a nice single-action .45 Colt in PA and had it transferred to my favorite MD FFL (It was a little too new to be picked up...

      Any advice for a young aspiring gunsmith?

      My buddy's son is looking at career as a gunsmith/FFL. He is a good kid (don't tell him I said that) and has a passion for history (especially military history). He wants to combine his history studies along with gunsmithing skills to build a business around military arms. He is looking at a...

      Galtling Gun in MD... yes or no?

      Ok, from an NFA perspective, I know that Gatling style guns are no different than any semi auto, and they used to be considered cash and carry firearms in MD, same as a single shot rifle. With the ban on rapid fire trigger devices, however, I'm not sure where these fit. The ban included trigger...

      Got this message this morning. I've used these guys for my 37mm supplies. They also sell some exotic/specialty ammo. Small family company but I've talked with the owner a couple of times and he is a decent guy. "We’re sure you’ve heard by now web hosting companies are dropping clients that...

      MD Code Natural Resources 10-410 question

      So the natural resources code that bans loaded firearms in a vehicle in MD appears to have no exception for those who have a Wear and Carry permit. Can anyone point me to where it states that a permit holder can have a loaded weapon on their person while in a vehicle? Thanks. Md. Code NR...

      Hi all, Mistakenly ordered this MAGPUL 7.62 NATO/.308 10 round AC short action bolt magazine (I really needed the 7.62 LR/SR mag). It's a $40 magazine and I don't have a use for it (It has never been used, but I did remove it from the package before I realized I bought the wrong thing)...
