      Hi guys. I moved to Maryland last year and haven’t had a chance to get my guns here yet. I just now realized that they have the requirement to register ar-15s and handguns within 90 days of becoming a resident, however I didn’t bring my guns down back then and still don’t even have them yet...

      Transferring HBAR made from stripped lower between MD residents

      I know this thread has come up before, but the information in it is either very dated or the thread is just a mess after the first page. Admins- please delete if you feel i'm kicking a dead horse. I am trying to get some clear answers on how MD law views transferring of an HBAR in 5.56/.223...

      Everyone knows that firearms can only be transported in Maryland in locked containers directly to / from appropriate events (e.g., hunting). No gun racks in trucks, etc. What about bows and crossbows? For example, is it illegal to stop by the dry cleaners, etc. on the way home from the...

      80% legality?

      I have an 80% lower and I am going to start a build. Recently I was at a gun shop and they told me it is illegal to build from an 80% because it’s considered “manufacturing”. I’ve always been told it was legal to build for yourself but not for others and it couldn’t be sold without a serial...

      LE Spyderco Delica4 to Benefit The National Law Enforcement Officer Museum Foundation

      I just ordered myself one. The Delica is an awesome knife; blue handled Delicas are very rare, and this turquoise handle is the only Spyderco to ever utilize this color. The Spyderco Delica and Endura series changed the entire game of folding knives when they delivered a light, strong, and...

      Disassembled mags shipped to MD?

      Considering the restrictions of std-cap mags in MD, dealers wont ship mags over 20 rds to here. I know you can just get them over in VA and bring 'em in, but if you need it shipped could you purchase a disassembled mag? Would it be legal to assemble?

      Balt. Sun attempt to frame gun debate in racial terms

This article really set me off. And no, I am not a white man penning this thread up, but I am angry =) Love how the cite...

      Another case of one-upmanship, this time lo behold: California

      California is trying to outdo both MD and NY in an effort that seems to label gun owners as no better than sex offenders. Here's the gist of the proposed law: -Among the most significant prohibitions imposed by the new legislation is the ban on the sale of semi-automatic rifles. - A ban...

      2012 GAO Report On Concelaed Carry - A Must Read

      This is probably the most comprehensive study of concealed carry in the 50 states ever conducted. I've reviewed most of it, but there is a lot of detail. It's hot off the digital press and current. It was written at the request of Congress and in response to the proposed National Reciprocity...
