Many of us don't want to have to apply for a handgun license and get finger printed to buy a handgun after Oct. 1st. It adds more cost to the purchase.
Question; I can understand why everyone/anyone would want to rush out and buy one of the guns that you will not be able to buy after Oct 1st. But most of the gun paperwork that is clogging up the system are for guns that we can still buy after Oct 1st and not the guns these new laws have always been aimed at.
These anti-gun law makers battle cry has always been Assault weapons. So most run out and buy everything but.
You may not be able to buy your new Glock or Sig, or M&P with a mag larger then 10 rounds after Oct 1st, but you will still be able to buy it after Oct 1st and then you just go to PA for your 15-18 round mag.
And now that we know about the Oct 1st date and what it will bring, the rush for the most part is one anything that shoots and what I want to call everyday guns, (Glocks, Sigs, 1911's, S&W M&P's, Rugers, or whatever) has been going on for 4 months now. Same goes for 22LR ammo. What the hell. 22LR is not going anywhere but people are buying as if they are going to stop making it.
It would make sense to me if the MSP were backed logged with paperwork on AR's and the like, but I bet 1/3rd of the paperwork the MSP are processing is wheel guns and small carry guns that these laws do not touch.
It almost seems as if people just want to be part of the "just buy anything just for the sake of buying anything" movement.
I say if you want to buy something buy whatever you can't buy after Oct 1st. Not the ammo and guns that are not going anywhere. I just don't get it.
If you send the paperwork in with a $25 Expedited Paperwork Fee and a notary stamp marked urgent youll be getting paperwork back in under 10 days. I just made 9 days and got my call.

Maybe we found good deals on guns it has absolutely nothing to do with bans? Should those of us who already have the pre ban stuff hold off on our paperwork and purchasing until the AR craze is over? Nay. Ill keep buying wheel guns and submitting paperwork like usual.
I disagree LOTS of people are buying rifles and other guns that are going to be banned

And that's something we just learned about over the last few weeks. How does that explain the panic buy that started last Dec?
I'm sure there are, but just like the reason you can't walk into a WM and buy a stupid box of 22LR or 38 or 9mm, and god forbid 223, many people are not making any sense.
Foresight. Emotional laws always get brought up after a mass shooting and as anti-gun as this state has been, we began to hedge our bets. At least at the State level we were right (court rulings not withstanding). Federal level is yet to be seen with Boehner saying he will not hear any bills in the House on gun control that come from the Senate.
Yeah tru I think the ammo situation is due to re-selling at higher prices.
I understand. But with 40 states being pro-gun, what is the likelihood they are going to ban wheel guns on any level?, or 22LR ammo? Again I can understand the "bet hedging" on anything that looks military. But wheel guns? But 22LR ammo?
I'll give you that. You can still get a 20+ mag for 22LR no issues in MD and I can't really think of any revolvers with 10 rounds. I think the fingerprinting and licensing requirement is responsible for a lot of the surge outside of soon to be banned rifles.
I called .. my paperwork was faxed 2/14 and they say they received it 2/22. Make sure you factor in the 8 days it takes to pick up the stack of faxes out of the machine.
As of April 08th we have received 39,667 Maryland State Police Application And Affidavit To Purchase A Regulated Firearm applications.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
