Herr Krause. Though the Ruger is a very high quality firearm I
believe you wish to sell it because it doesn't pull enough to the
*left* to meet your standards.

Well good morning, Old Timer. Does the county mental health
department know you have guns?




Are Harry's guns registered? You wouldn't want to be buying
unregistered guns and I would hope that Harry is performing a
background check to whomever he is selling the guns.





D'oh. *All* my firearms were purchased legally from licensed
dealers in Maryland. In my original post on this subject, I stated
I would only ship the Ruger to an FFL holder from whom the
purchaser would receive the handgun. The background check, such as
it is, is handled by the FFL.

What does that mean to you?


Morons.

Are your firearms registered with the State of Maryland?


You haven't purchased a firearm in Maryland in recent years from a
dealer, have you? Because if you had, you wouldn't be repeatedly asking
that question.

Let's try this again:

*All* my firearms were purchased legally from licensed dealers
in Maryland.

Report back (or don't) when you figure out what that means.


You can't answer a simple question can you?

I have never purchased a firearm in Maryland.


Ahhh. You aren't familiar with the regs. In that case, you shouldn't be
making statements like these:

"Are Harry's guns registered? You wouldn't want to be buying
unregistered guns and I would hope that Harry is performing a
background check to whomever he is selling the guns."

1. When you buy through a licensed dealer, you fill out federal and
state forms before you can take the handgun home. The form includes the
serial number of the gun. If it is a handgun, there is a seven to 10 day
waiting period that allows the state police to check you out. If it is a
rifle or shotgun, the call to the feds suffices, and you can take the
long gun home immediately. The last shotgun I bought from a dealer, the
call took less than five minutes, and I was on my way with the shotgun.
There is no separate registration, nor do you have to carry a
registration, as there is nothing you are given to carry.

2. Wherever you are, if you buy through an FFL holder, he or she handles
whatever forms are required by his or her state. Thus, the seller who
sells through an FFL holder has no reason to do a "background check" on
the buyer...that is handled by the FFL holder.

So, if you wanted to buy the Ruger, the best way to do it would be for
you to meet me at a local gun dealer who handles FFL transactions. He
would take possession of the firearm, collect the money and have you
fill out the forms, and then he would call you when the state police
said you were "OK" for the purchase.

That's how it is done in Maryland, typically.

Now, I just purchased a new handgun from an out-of-state dealer. He will
ship the firearm to a local FFL holder with whom I have done business.
When it arrives, I will go to his office, fill out the forms, and pay
him his fee. When the state police notify him, he will call me and I
will pick up the gun.

Fairly simply, straightforward procedures.

I haven't purchased a firearm in 20 years.

Well, then, you should buy the Ruger. :)

It's so accurate, anyone should be able to shoot 1" groups at 25 yards
with a couple of days of practice, and with the Red Dot, half inch groups.

I have no use for a .22 pistol. I do like my .45 it has the capability
to stop anyone but a drugged up idiot just by looking at the inside
diameter of the barrel. The threat of a 230 grain hollow point getting
close to your body will make you think.

To be sure, but a .45 probably is not the best weapon to stop a home
invader/robber. I think a short-barrel 12 gauge is more intimidating,
and if you miss, the BBs typically will not go through one drywall panel
after another.

A .22LR pistol is for target shooting and, if you are a real pussy,
killing small varmints like squirrels, prairie dogs, and
Just-Wait-A-Loogies.

Frangible projectiles take care of that problem.

Pistol shooting is pistol shooting. The more you practice with a .22LR
target pistol, the better you will shoot with a heavier caliber pistol.
And relatively speaking, .22LR ammo is cheap. Besides, .22LR hits can be
very deadly, especially at the short distances you'd encounter in a house.
