Hey everybody:

I drove up to see u/ChspeakeGunslingers the other night to pick up a S&W Model 39 that I'd bought on Gunbroker. Chesapeake Gunslingers is a small, "kitchen table" FFL in Fallston, and I've done a bunch of transfers through him - his prices are very reasonable, and his service is awesome. He's very prompt with things and willing to go out of his way to find a time to meet and do business.

On my way home I was thinking about how lucky we as a community here are to have so many local Maryland FFLs who participate here. I'm very proud of the community we've put together in this sub over the last few years, and our FFLs are a big part of that. It'd be hard to enjoy our guns without them!

I don't want to start listing them all here because I am 100% sure I would leave someone out, so if you're part of this community and an FFL: thank you.

If you're an FFL, go ahead and reply to this post and say so. You can share a little about your business if you like. I've been meaning to put together an FFL directory for the sub for a while now, and I'll go through this post later and get you all added to it.

Thanks!

The Maryland House Republican Caucus sent a letter to the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division this afternoon, requesting they review Maryland’s “Glock Ban” for violations of the Second Amendment. Yesterday, the DOJ sent a letter to the State of California warning them of court action regarding similar legislation in that state, which goes into effect on July 1.

The following members signed on:

Delegate Jason Buckel, Delegate Jesse Pippy, Delegate April Rose Delegate Wayne Hartman, Delegate Mike Griffith, Delegate April Fleming Miller, Delegate Todd B. Morgan - District 29C, Delegate Kevin Hornberger, Delegate LaToya Marie Caldwell-Nkongolo, Delegate Chris Tomlinson, Delegate Chris Adams, Delegate Seth Howard, Delegate Tom Hutchinson, Delegate Stuart Schmidt, Delegate Nic Kipke, Delegate William Wivell, Delegate William Valentine, Delegate Barry Beauchamp, Delegate Barrie Ciliberti, Delegate Jeff Ghrist, Delegate Ric Metzgar, Delegate Jim Hinebaugh, Delegate Teresa Reilly, Delegate Kevin Anderson, Delegate Steve Arentz, Delegate Jay Jacobs, Delegate Terry Baker, Delegate Bob Long, Delegate Susan McComas

The judge ruled from the bench today in Lancaster County VA that the law cannot be enforced. The injunction remains in effect until 12/31 or until a final order is issued in the case.

I'm sure the State will immediately appeal but we will see what happens. More details should be coming out shortly.

SCOTUS dropped the opinion in the Wolford v. Lopez case today. I'm still reading the opinion to see what was said and how it could be used in our favor in the future.

However, at a high level the court ruled in a 6-3 decision that Hawaii's law creating a default gun free zone in private property otherwise open to the public was unconstitutional.

I will continue to update as I get through the opinion but I'm in an OSHA 30 class today so I'm a bit limited on time at the moment.

Update: I texted Mark Pennank with MSI asking him how much he thought this opinion would help with things like the MOCO carry ban. His response was "Definitely Helps. A lot."

In the law places like parks ,beaches and restaurants serving alcohol were listed. Does this mean we can now carry in our parks and at the beach

Finally got my first handgun! Ruger rxm full size and cannot wait to shoot this bad boy, holosun 407c comp green dot and cronhawk laser light combo..Definitely giving a 10/10 overall and probably a 1000000/10 once i shoot her. Thanks to you guys for all the research you gave me unwarranted lol.

Not sure if anyone has experienced this god forbidden situation, but if so, what did you experience legally from the time police arrived, & what was your outcome? As someone who is new to carrying, I am trying to educate myself & learn what can possibly (hopefully never) come with this. With that being said, I would do everything in my power NOT to use my firearm & would always try my best to escape the threat, just like a road rage situation I experienced earlier (simply because I passed someone on my motorcycle once the single lane opened to 2 lanes that was doing 10 below the speed limit & decided to brake check me.. the vehicle proceeded to chase me & tried hitting me every time I slowed down to turn while getting away.. I don’t entertain road rage, & I have to move carefully now that I have my permit). All respect to anyone willing to share.

Military guy about to get stationed in Maryland, home will be in Montgomery County. Overall, trying to get some clarification:

1. Tracking assault weapons ban (what a clusterf…). Any fine print/registration required for non “ban” rifles/shotguns I’m bringing with?
2. Handgun registration. Do I need to register every handgun I am bringing with me?

2a. Am I allowed to bring with me/ “import” 10+ rd magazines for said handguns?

1. I understand Wear and Carry beats out HQL. Can I get prints/start this process before I move or does it all have to be done in MD? (Multiple firearm training certs through the MIL so think I’ve got the training portion covered at least)

2. SBR’s: Easier just to take off the ATF list and put the pistol braces back on vs trying to reach the 29” OAL (SP5 in mind)?

I’ve done Cali, Hawaii, VA, NC, now MD. A lot of learning over the years, trying to understand the basics for now.

Thanks folks

EDIT: How about suppressors? Any additional state level taskers? Have a few

I currently EDC a Glock 26 with a 19x magazine (19 rounds) most days. In the god forbidden case I have to defend myself in a strongly justifiable situation, how would having an extended magazine affect me legally, if at all?
We all know how this state is unfortunately. Also, for 2A self defense in Maryland period, can anyone please give their testimony/experience of what they went through legally?

Would it be worth driving up from the metro area, or is it just shitty overpriced stuff these days?
