      Audit the Audit Episode from MD

      If you track MD 2A, this link is 15 minutes of worthy YouTube time: Audit the Audit on MD Firearms Transport The guy was stopped by Baltimore Police while transporting 31 firearms. It covers familiar ground: MD wear-and-carry, Certified vs. Licensed MD handgun instructors, how to act when...

      Handgun Transportation without HQL

      I sent an email to the MDSP asking about my class and circumstance and transporting a handgun and § 4-203 (Wearing, carrying, or transporting handgun). That's the portion I referenced in the original post. Unfortunately the reply from the Sergeant merely quoted two different laws, one federal...

      Handgun Transportation without HQL

      Thanks very much dblas. Good insight. I lack confidence reading and understanding the text of laws since they're written in the language lawyers understand, which is not language I readily understand or write. My apology for any confusion the original post caused.

      Handgun Transportation without HQL

      Thanks for pointing out the points in my post that caused confusion, Blacksmith101. I'll consider my wording more carefully in the future. In retrospect, I think the title might have kicked off the confusion as well. I'm not going to disclose specifics here for good reason. I spoke with the...

      Handgun Transportation without HQL

      Thanks, Biggfoot44. I appreciate the tone of this, insofar as it can convey over an Internet chat. I think you show genuine concern and want to help and you're certainly not an a-hole. :) In my defense, it seems like asking a question may have come across as a lack of confidence, or worse, a...

      Handgun Transportation without HQL

      Thanks, all. What you said is consistent with training I've taken or assisted with at different venues. That is, the student is allowed to bring his own handgun to the HQL training.

      Handgun Transportation without HQL

      Hi, I'm a certified NRA instructor offering a private class to six friends. One owns a pistol he wants to bring to the class where I will teach Basic Pistol + MD HQL supplement. Which by implication means, he owns a pistol without the HQL. The way I understand the Maryland laws on handgun...

      Detect Slide Lock by Feel

      A couple weeks back I took some advanced pistol training. One of the instructors was a nationally ranked competitive shooter. I mentioned to him how I'm trying sensitize myself to watch for slide lock. (Occasionally at the range I don't notice and pull the trigger despite being at slide lock.)...

      Is as .22-LR AR-15 Really an AR-15?

      I'm considering buying this Tippmann Arms "AR-15" chambered in .22-LR (Link: M4-22 ELITE at Palmetto State Armory). Then I considered the legalities for Maryland. AR-10's are not a problem and they differ by caliber from AR-15's. And I reasoned that if this "AR-15" is native (not a conversion...

      Lack of Gun Safety on the Set

      Alec Baldwin shot and fatally killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust". Director Joel Souza was also shot. The story is all over the news. Here's a link that comments on gun safety. PJ Media Link on Alec Baldwin and the shooting on "Rust" Being an NRA instructor, it...

      Real vs. SIRT vs. Blue Guns

      I found this video on the use of blue guns: ASP Video on Blue Guns The gist is that blue guns are not guns. They're just pieces of plastic. So while we still treat them as we would a real gun in some respects, they allow us to train in ways that would be prohibited if all we had was a real...

      Real vs. SIRT vs. Blue Guns

      I'm curious to know other's opinions on protocols for real pistols, in contrast with SIRT pistols or mere blue-gun pistols. I do dry fire with real pistols (where, "dry fire" = "unloaded") following this protocol: Dry fire in a room with no ammo Dry fire toward a proper backstop (for me, a...

      Dropping Magazines

      Epilogue I shot at the match on the weekend. It was an IDPA match. And you were right--the reloads were a very minor factor, IDPA or not. This being the first time I ever shot competitively, the major factors were things like: Never moved and fired a pistol before Target transitions (you...

      Dropping Magazines

      Thanks for a bunch of helpful ideas. I will buy more mag's when I have more cash. The Sig P320 Xfive mag's are about $50 each. $$$! At the indoor range yesterday, the RSO was super nice and taped double-thick cardboard backers on the floor in the booth. I did 45 mag changes, none of which...

      Dropping Magazines

      I normally shoot at an indoor range on a hard floor. To practice quick reloads, I want to drop empty mag's on the floor. And from dry fire practice, I know the mag's will bounce and scoot 3+ feet when they land on the carpet. Problem #1. This is a problem at the range, since they could easily...
