      Procedure on purchasing handgun online ?

      Buy first. FFL needs to have gun before paperwork.

      Ruger Announces New State Compliant AR-556

      The 8502 has already been out, on the MSP list as MD compliant, and could recently be had for around $500. Looks like the new version (8511) is a little more MD specific since it doesnt remove the flash hider and pin the stock like on the 8502.

      Source for Ruger Old Army cylinders

      Seems like the only ones available are pretty pricey- either for cap and ball or conversion cylinders. I'd just buy another whole ROA off of gunbroker unless the extra features of the classic ballistic cylinder make it more appealing.

      Anderson AM-15 Lowers/MSP Reviewed Firearms List

      Yes, Anderson builds rifles that are not Maryland compliant. If you get a lower you can build it in a number of legal configurations so lowers are good to go.

      MSP 77r e-portal goes live 1-1-17

      Your dealer can also select a different type of sale, such as dealer discount, in order to put a second handgun on the same application without being a designated collector.

      MSP 77r e-portal goes live 1-1-17

      No, just clarifying for the previous poster that started the initial application and mentioned he didnt see anywhere to pay. It has always been at the completion of the application, but when it was a paper app either dealers paid or you write a check to MSP if done at barrack. Now the only way...

      Long Gun Transfer Bill SB0948

      I've never done one because at this point they arent legally required, but I believe private party transfers are good to go as far as the ATF is concerned and described in this procedure: https://www.atf.gov/file/4961/download

      Millington WMA

      I tried a few of the blind sites there a few years ago. They seemed like nice setups and were fairly easy to get a reservation, but we never ended up firing a shot. It seemed like some better scouting could help find some birds at other sites, but since then I've been going elsewhere.

      Cutts Compensator

      I believe in general cutts compensators reduce the value of an original shotgun and dont have much value themselves. I would say if that's not what you want go ahead and chop the barrel and you wont affect the value much, if any.

      MSP 77r e-portal goes live 1-1-17

      4473 gets filled out before the background check so that the FFL can verify the identity and correct responses to the list of questions. If they aren't right, then no background check happens and the transaction stops. That wouldn't match ATF requirements if background check was done in advance...

      MSP 77r e-portal goes live 1-1-17

      Yes, 4473 will still need to be done. The MSP run the NICS check with information from the 77r, but the 4473 still needs to be done at the dealer at the time of the application. That's one of the reasons you still need to make 2 trips to the dealer to buy a handgun.

      Zastava PAP M90NP

      "Basically an AK" sounds banned in Maryland under the AK rifle in any format category, but I haven't seen one or done much research myself.

      How many HQLs are active in MD?

      I have seen a late 2015 just under 18000 and an early 2016 in the 2000s

      What really is the point of an HQL?

      I personally think the HQL is a great idea, but only with changes along these lines on the retail side. Allow the HQL to streamline the purchase process by ditching the 77r and it would be worth having. Maybe even allow private transfers with it too, but I'm sure the state wants to keep their...

      Would a fillet knife be a good self defense knife?

      From what I gather reading this thread and the legal consequences of using a knife in self defense, the problem is this: The amount of damage it takes to stop an attacker with a knife is very close to the amount of damage it takes to kill that attacker. Knives are too painless and deadly at the...
