Excellent work!
What‘s the likelihood of a stay pending appeal being granted?
That would keep the law in effect for now and while going through appeal correct?
SouthCo, thank you for the simple but clear explanation, been looking for that. Follow up question, if one had sub 29” pistol purchasEd legally in MD as a pistol, but change the 10” barrel for a 16”+ barrel can you retain the brace and is it now a legal rifle? Would this need to be registered...
If one were to have a weapon thats classified in MD as a handgun, (but if I understand this correctly as an SBR by the ATF) currently configured under 29” and with a brace, but change the 10“ barrel to 16“ barrel is it then a legal rifle under MD/ ATF rules? Does it need to be registered then?
A proficiency requirement would be fine as well. You have the right to drive, but every state requires passing a driving test and don’t hear anyone protesting that. General lack of knowledge on candidates/voting is how we got where we are.….
As a permit holder for years, the 16 hours is not excessive and in fact it should be much more. As a former leo I would think you went through substantially more training to become competent.
I am for the right to carry but the idea of a bunch of untrained people running around scares me. I...
It’s not so much disbanding of the board that scares me, its the fact they they think that reducing the number of permit holders is a direct relation to crime and safety. I would bet 0.0% of the gun crimes are committed by permit holders. Just continues to show their lack of knowledge and...
Just another BS Bill they are trying to sneak in under the radar to make having a permit as difficult as possible. I have no issue with training, but every two years is sufficient.
Unfortunately they will continue with any type of “restriction” they can justify as reasonable to make gun...
So I called the Virginia Firearms Transaction Center today and asked this question. They said any permit that is valid via reciprocity has the same validity and rights as the Virginia permit and no point is spending another $100 for the VA permit.
Any concerns with carrying on a Utah permit in VA?
It is my understanding that just need to comply with MD transport law (prior to getting MD permit) until cross into VA.
I live in MD, but work a lot in VA. Currently have a Utah permit and application in for DC and MD. Is there any reason get a VA non resident permit also? Or is the reciprocity from the other states sufficient?
My point is they are so uneducated on the process that they don’t understand that it is harder to get an unrestricted permit with the HPRB in place than it would be with Shall Issue.
Yes it will be much more difficult and costly under the MSP/OAH/court appeal, but my bet is that by restricting...
Best of luck to them and thanks to them for providing justification for a path to shall issue. If they truly were concerned with public safety they would understand they are much better off with the HPRB than Shall Issue which is where they are headed.
What the legislators don’t get is that the HPRB has been a conduit for those qualified and determined to reclaim their right that Maryland has unlawfully restricted. I guarantee none of them understand, or have attempted to understand, the process and the people voluntarily pursuing a permit...
Couple questions on my application
On the references:
Anyone know what they ask?
Do they say what the inquiry is related to?
Would my wife’s cousin who I do business with be “related”?
Having a bit of a tough time with the references as prefer people not related to, not to know my...
I’ve read the law and the letters posted here in other threads from the AG and still have a few questions.
Under MD law:
Is it legal to transport a handgun and ammunition/loaded mags in the same locked container (ie a padlocked pelican type box) in the back of my SUV, specifically a Tahoe, or...
