I was thinking the same thing when I picked up a few Sig magazines. I got them at the Chantilly Gun Show and thought everyone was selling them at a pretty high price compared to online prices. Sadly MD law sends all the sales taxes out of state. Uh, democRATS will never get it.
And the economic impact to our IPs with the commensurate loss in sales. I just can't figure out if the democrats are stupid or devious. Maybe we should create a poll.
I guess the November election is the ultimate poll.
I was buying a couple 30 rounders in the Gun Bunker in Shrewsbury last weekend. When I mentioned being from MD the nice gentleman behind the counter said "oh, I think I've got some 40 rounders back here, and check out this 60 round drum!"
Took the 40, but have been thinking about the drum. It's a Magpul. Does anyone have any experience with the reliability??
I think some of the legislators (or their staff, who helps inform their decisions) sincerely believe that mag limit laws will help reduce gun homicides but might think they are balancing enthusiast requests* by allowing the out-of-state purchase route. Obviously this was the previous MD template when the mag restriction was 20 rds before SB-281, and they might have perceived that this reduced the overall levels of larger capacity mags in state (and I wouldn't be surprised if it did). They took this template when reducing to 10 rd capacity, but created additional problems for most anyone shopping for a modern semi automatic handgun. Previously the 20 rd mag limit was of course mostly a nuisance for semi automatic rifle owners.
