Are there stats on how many minorities have an HQL?

I avoided getting it for as long as possible, but found a gun I “needed” to add to my collection that wasn’t C&R.

Oh, yeah, don’t forget, the only way to pay is with a credit card. Don’t have a credit card (think bad credit or poor), no need to apply!

Another point, you need photo ID, so all those mail in vote people won’t qualify I guess!

Good point about credit cards, more racist policies from the racist Democrats

Whether they "publish" it or not, if it's a question on the application it's in their database (like everything) and could be obtained. The govt undoubtedly maintains all sorts of information that it doesn't "publish" or compile
unless or until someone asks for it, e.g. data used by elected reps who are framing arguments for more control over your life.

Few people inquire or make use of federal, state, and local Freedom of Information Acts to request information that already belongs to us, not them.

I’m going to look into a FOIA request

We'd all like to know how it turns out, and we all ought to be asking government to release information of all kinds that it gathers at our expense, for its own use.

Some of it was turning gray and the rest was turning loose!

Bite me...I look like Clint in Heartbreak Ridge and I’m going with that look intentionally. Stop hating on the follicly challenged.

Most gun laws on the books are racist and/or classist. It would be great if those oppressed people started to make more noise about it!

I've been trying to get folks to understand that but it's an uphill battle. A lot of folks tend to form an opinion based on what the MSM tells them.

While on vacation last week I cringed when my SIL's boyfriend said that "ghost guns" are made by simply grinding serial numbers off of firearms. I told him that's not necessarily the case and that I had "several" of these spirit weapons that are totally legal. I'm gonna introduce him to the world of responsible firearms ownership and invite him shooting.

Y'all do realize all these issues and more are already included in MSI's lawsuit challenging the HQL ?

The State has been ducking , dodging , and delaying for years , but it seems that has now been exhausted , and action will be ( comparitively) soon .

I did not know that, but that’s good news

The MSI Litigation Fund is always in need of support , with multiple active cases , plus more on deck .

And the cost of them producing the HQL has gone down. Originally a laminated card with photograph, then they eliminated the photo, and now it is just a printed piece of paper no lamination.

What is the total cost now of a HQL?

My total cost, 5+ years ago, was $102.50, including just the MSP fee and the cost of fingerprinting. I was exempt from the training requirement...

Don H said:
How much for training?

Depends on the class and the instructor. I don't think there is a set fee, but assume close to $100.

I don’t have a HQL. One thing Maryland did right is exempt retired military from the requirement to obtain one. The Second Amendment should be sufficient.

Recall that was what we had to do to get the number of W&C permits issued, back in the good old "back row in the HPRB meeting" days until a member did a FOIA submission each month and posted the results.

Our classes for HQL and W&C now are at least 50% with women and minorities. Much different demographics than it was 5 years ago.

Good. The right to self defense is for everyone. Very glad to hear that.

Wow my buddy lives up there in Hanover has 4 Rotties doesn't need a gun at his house. He came here to Tennessee thinking he could get one ha ha they laughed at him, won't have anything to do with Md. I bought one the other day the S&W ez 9mm paid cash Acadamy Sports was in and out in about 45 mins. Hard to believe all the hoops you have to go thru just to get a gun but that's why I left in 74 getting too liberal.

Quadtree · May 5, 2021

Got my HQL 06/2020 and W&C 03/2021

Not sure but i would figure if more minorites had permits and bought guns ( legally sorry gun crime states are out there) that democrats could not be so anti-gun. The thing is until groups stand up for beliefs democrats will do what they wont. For example ( regardless of how you feel about gay marraige) polls after polls show blacks were the most hostile group to gay marriage but teh most loyal democrats ( they say loyal i stay stockholm syndrome) Democrats showed blacks how they took them for granted and most blacks did not see it. Most blacks do not see how they are in trouble with amnesty for illegals. I mean who is the average guy going to have outside his office greeting customers whoppi goldberg or selma hayek?
