Is working in MD and paying insane taxes, housing costs, and anti-2A laws really worth it to you? Do you have kids? Want them learning DEI and possibly anti American ideologies all while you serve America in your uniform?
Lots more to think over besides what firearms you can bring here.
Here in SC we just became a constitutional carry state. Yea me. If you will want a CCW you can attend the 6 hour class that includes a range qualification. It was my understanding SC pretty much laid out the whole 6 hours and certified instructors teach it and then administer a quiz at the end...
Ah, missed that little detail. Geez that was stupid.
For awhile we lived on Capitol Hill. I was working there and wife was at GW lawschool. Stored all my firearms at my mom's place in MD. Well, not all of them. Kept a 1911 .45 at our place in the 200 block of E. Capitol and the wife was always...
Drive. If you absolutely must take those firearms with you, it's not worth the risk flying into DC or having your firearm stolen from checked baggage when heading home.
SC just went constitutional carry. Some state's politicians trust their citizens others don't trust their subjects. The later likely fear their subjects for good reason.
In the older regs there are specific criteria for the size and placement of those signs. It's nothing new. Unlike MD they have the force of law and carrier does not first have to be asked to leave.
Because I use to live there and was active with MSI. Escaped to America last year. Still contribute to MSI because you guys still live in toxic Maryland, that place where corrupt politicians only give a crap about the criminal class who supports them. I like reading the court smackdown Mark...
SC is about to have constitutional carry with free training for those who want it. You guys need to move to America and breathe in some freedom. MD's toxic blue is clouding your brains.
A trained CCW holder will have been taught the laws that pertain to carrying as well as becoming more aware of the dynamics of a self defense decision when someone does use their firearm. Likely these two will reduce the possibility of prison. The other is moving out of a blue state to somewhere...
It's kinda hopeless trying to convince some people that state provided firearms training might be a good thing. For people who couldn't otherwise afford a basic pistol class (see my prior comments about people in my SC class who probably won't hit what they're aiming at under stress) to receive...
Firearms owners around the time of the constitution were, for the most part, accomplished shots. It went with how they used them. The framers knew those firearms were in the hands of people who knew what they were doing. But you keep on, pretend somehow a person buying a handgun for the first...
OK. I disagree as in I think anyone carrying should at the very least be able to keep their shots on a silhouette target at a nice, calm, take your time range. If you can't keep it on the paper there what happens under stress? I post a stupid, ill-informed opinion no innocent bystander dies...
Watching some of the students shoot got me edging to the side of training, maybe even a range qualification being required. The thought of what might happen when they needed to defend themselves for real makes me hope I won't be nearby. If the state provides it for free (well, from their taxes)...
The details of that should be interesting. There's already a robust network of instructors in SC and the one day class is inexpensive, at least mine was. Hopefully the state will contract with some of them regionally to offer it.
There's no provision currently to wave the training except the...
For what it's worth I'm of a mind that Well Regulated means you know what you're doing when you carry. Every state has differing laws about carrying as well as when it's legal to pull a trigger. Folks should know those laws as well as be able to hit what they're shooting at.
I think the...
Second this. Wrecks off Kingston, CA are amazing.
And to the original poster's questions ... It's worth it to learn how and invest in a dry suit if you plan on diving anywhere in our area or north. You can change up the thickness of the undergarment depending on the water temp and, IMHO, way...
