r/MDGuns

I was looking thru the gun agenda last night I noticed that the drip was on the agenda for the meeting. There is no reason for this gun to be on the agenda. The mc9 ls was approved a long time ago. The only difference is the paint. You do not have to get approved for a same model gun that has already been approved just because of a color change. I do not know who summited it but this is a waste of time for the board and the one who summited it. Gun manufactures add and change colors all the time. As long as there is no change in the gun foundation there is no reason to do this. Im not a lawyer nor a specialist in this area. But from what I have been thru and what is one the boards information page and what I have been told I think what I have said to be a 100% correct

Anyone here been to Xcal in Va? If so i had a couple questions.. if i were to rent a private lane how many people would it accommodate? Can i bring my own ammo and what are the wait times usually like. I wanted to take a trip down there with my siblings and let them shoot my guns,

Basically the title.

A few years back I was looking into buying an FAL and was seeing stuff about inch vs metric pattern rifles and saw some posts about the inch pattern ones (L1A1 namely) not being banned due to not having parts compatibility with the actual FN LAR/FAL, which is banned by name.

Now I’m still not sure if this is 100% accurate but to top it off I did hear that the t48 was converted to inch pattern which by the same logic should make it MD legal.

Now the FAL has been a dream rifle for me since forever so I sure hope this is true but I don’t want to get my hopes up too much as Md has a special way of crushing my gun related dreams lol

I was traveling south on i95 and stopped at the PSA store in Florence SC. Picked up two 15rd magazines and a 10rd - Proceeded to the cashier.

Cashier asked me for my ID, to which I presented it. She then said "Maryland, oh boy" - Looked at a sheet and said, "I can only sell you 10 round capacity magazines because you have a magazine restriction". To which I laughed, and asked if she was serious, unfortunately she was. I didn't argue or debate it, I just wrote them off immediately as Anti-2A.

PSA will never see me as a customer again, just a heads up for MD residence hoping to get magazines.

*Edit* - Take note of the multiple replies in this thread of those who have been denied a magazine sale in person at a PSA retail store. Do with that as you wish, I hope you spend your money elsewhere.

Im 18 and I want to buy a PSA AR15 with a 13.7 inch barrel and a suppressor. Is this legal here? Also how can I buy one with an HBAR? Im trying to make something that looks like a KAC ks1 with an LPVO. Also, is it hard to get 30 round mags if ure from MD and go out of state? Ive seen people complain about them getting rejected from buying them.

I just started shooting for competition and im looking for a friendly gun club recommendation. I need a place where I can practice, grow and make friends. I live by Andrew's airforce base and would prefer a closer one.

Thoughts on the Ruger RXM as first handgun? I’ve been looking at it for a while and honestly I think it’s just a nice budgeting off brand glock with optic..This is what I would be getting started with. Just curious on any thoughts and or recommendations anyone may have. Thank you!

Anybody know of anywhere to get some affordable .223 (or 5.56) and 9mm? Looking to have a range day in june but dont want to spend and arm and leg. Could be online or in person. I live in Frederick, MD.

If my grandfather was going to gift me his New Super Model Blackhawk what would the process be?

We are both MD residents with carry permits and I’m military.

I saw something about going to a MSP barracks and I was going to fill out a 77R.

Hey everyone,

I’m fairly new to gun ownership. Just wondering if anyone has recommendations on what to buy before the Glock ban goes into effect. Edit: Specifically the best Glock clones in your opinion.

Thanks for your help!

Hypothetically, if police searched your home for an unrelated crime/accusation, and found small quantities of marijuana purchased from a dispensary - would your Maryland W&C be revoked? Would your firearms be confiscated?

Here is the update on the Board Meeting. I spoke to the woman that coordinates everything. It sounds like there will be more board members there in June however 2 of the members are new and they replaced 2 of the pro gun members. One is a police chief so hopefully he will be pro gun but the second one is a doctor at Johns Hopkins in the gun violence area so I'm not hopeful about that one. Kim the lady that denied everything in March is not supposed to be in attendance.

This meeting will be a LONG MEETING!

1. There will be a hearing at the beginning for one of the guns that was denied in the March meeting.

2. After the hearing then the board will review the court case where the judge ruled they were arbitrary and capricious and vacated the denials for 4 guns. The Board will discuss that cour decision and make a decision about the 4 guns. Hopefully the court decision will set precedent and make the rest of the meeting go smoothly.

3. They are pushing close to 200 guns on the agenda and they won't touch those until after the first 2 sessions are complete.

I still want as many people as possible to show up. However, they are limiting attendance in the room to 35 total people due to fire marshall occupancy restrictions or so they say. However, you can still come and if you don't get into the room you can still stand outside of the room or even stand outside and they can see you all through the windows the point is to let them know we are there and we are tired of the shenanigans. I'm getting there really early to ensure I have a seat in the room and will be taking notes. I will also have a prepared statement that depending on how the meeting goes I may try to speak before the board.

On a side note the Executive Director of Marylanders Against Gun Violence has been lobbying to get anit-gun people on the board. I will probably start playing that game in the future and try to stack the board with pro-gun people. There is one seat that could be filled potentially by someone who has a mechanical or electrical engineering degree. So if anyone meets that criteria DM me.

Lastly, with the limited seating the lady from Marylanders against gun violence does not get a guaranteed seat. So if a large crowd of us show up really early and just wait then she wouldn't get a seat and would have to sit outside. That would be hilarious and make her livid!!🤣 She would probably write a crybaby article about it. That all being said if we do this I would need people who are willing to give up their seat in the event some of the pro gun attorneys show up. We want them in the room because they are the ones that take the board to court. So for anyone who wants to go to this meeting if you DM me I could set up a private group chat on here for us to organize.

The meeting information:

Wednesday June 3rd at 11am Maryland State Police Forensic Science Division 221 Milford Mill Road Pikesville, MD 21208

Planning a trip to Montana in the next few months. I've been told by several locals that bringing my firearm would be in my best interest due to bears.

I'm a valid CCW holder in the state of MD but I have never flown with it. Is it even possible to do such a thing?

If someone can lead me in the right direction that would be great. Thank you in advance!

Hello!

Tomorrow I'll have a table at Hampstead Day, in Hampstead, MD.

I'll have a bunch of 10rd (OEM Magpul 10/30 Mags) engraved and for sale.

I'll also be handing out coupons for $5 off my already low transfer prices! ($35 for long guns, $45 for handguns with MSP fee included) so it becomes $30/40!

Going to also have a wheel to spin to win a pair of shooting glasses, ear plugs, Glock Stadium Cup, Bullet Pen, or Hand Sanitizer!

It's on Main Street in Hampstead, and it's 8-3. Tomorrow 5/16

So I heard we might be able to get Glock gen 6 frames even if the gen 6 doesn’t reach the roster?
Does anyone know how this works? I’ve heard it from a few sources including gun store employees, but I know the frame is serialized so I was curious how to go about this

I'm having some trouble finding the text of the law change from a few years back that prohibited face to face private sales of long guns. And the information online seems inconsistent.

Has anyone done this process with MSP after the change?Do you need to do a 77r for long gun private sales within MD now and then the transfer at an FFL or MSP barracks?

EDIT: I suppose I should clarify that I am completely familiar with the process we have had to do for decades now on person to person pistol and regulated firearm sales. I am also completely familiar with the process of buying suppressors from a dealer, and Form 1'ing SBRs, suppressors, etc. What I'm asking is: the last time I did a face to face rifle sale in MD was prior to the law requiring a background check for that. It was a non-regulated, bolt-action rifle. He showed me his MD state ID, handed me cash, I handed him a rifle and wished him good day. Now, we would need to go to an FFL to process this, or possibly an MSP Barracks as I've read on MDShooters. I'm asking if anyone has done a sale like this since the law has passed, and if so, what paperwork did you need to fill out at the MSP Barracks?

The second part of the question directly relates to the change of an NFA tax stamp now costing $0. Prior to that, it was generally unfeasible to sell an NFA item, but doable if you were ok taking the money hit. In a freer state an individual (or trust) can sell their NFA regulated item to another individual (or trust), intrastate, reasonably easy since it's all e-filed and there's no stamp cost. My question is whether there are additional Maryland state regulations on top of that specifically relating to an NFA item so that once the new Form 4 is approved, you'd still have to do the transfer at a barracks or FFL?

When the law changed regarding private long gun transfers, did that have encompassing enough language to cover suppressors? Are they considered "regulated firearms" by the state of Maryland?
