I don't know what the regs are in a loose state like Virginia, but in
Maryland if you are buying a firearm, you have to fill out a
questionnaire for the state police on which you state under criminal
penalties whether you are of legal age, whether you are engaging in a
straw purchase, whether you've been convicted of a crime of violence,
whether you've been convicted of a misdemeanor act of domestic violence,
whether you are the respondent in a protective order, whether you've
been committed to a mental institution, whether you are a habitual
drunkard, et cetera. Say yes to any of 'em and your app is denied and
you might get arrested.

Anyone here a heavy drinker?



Completion of the ATF Form 4473 is a requirement in Virginia. I would assume the same is true of
Maryland, as it's a Federal form. But who knows? Maryland may have its own form which asks the same
questions.

Maryland has its own form. Two pages, one for the applicant, one for the
dealer. Similar and duplicative in many areas of federal form. Remember,
in Maryland, the state police get involved in your app to buy a pistol.


Well, that explains it then. Now I know why Maryland is such a safe state in which to reside. Well,
except for certain parts, that is. If I were walking through PG County or B'more at night, I'd damn
sure consider that a 'special circumstance'!

specifically asks about drug and alcohol abuse.

I know this will be difficult for a racist bigot like you to understand,
Herring, but there are some beautiful, rural areas of PG County that are
much nicer than where you live but where decent people do live and
aren't particularly impacted by street crime. We dine at a couple of
locally owned restaurants in PG County, and never feel any "fear."


Harry, must you always resort to name-calling. Does your continuous reference to the MS-13 gangs
overrunning Fairfax County not make you just as much a racist bigot? I've driven through PG County
quite often. You're right, there are some pretty, rural areas there. But, if my car broke down at
2AM in one of those pretty, rural areas, I'd definitely consider that a special circumstance!


We've been in Baltimore many fine days and evenings in all parts of the
city, and have never been accosted or even felt like we were under a
threat. A few weeks ago, while returning home from National Airport one
evening, the Suitland Parkway was blocked because of an accident, and we
had to detour to a part of DC/Maryland you would consider dangerous. I
got a bit lost and stopped at a convenience store/gas station to get out
and ask for directions. I said "hi" to the guys milling around and they
said "hi" back. No sweat.

I think your white man's culture of privilege is blinding you.


You are so brave! What a man, Harry. No wonder Donnie is so enthralled! Yes, I've been to Baltimore
also. There are some beautiful spots in that fine town. There are also some spots I would not want
to find myself at 2AM. But then again, I'm not you.

Actually, it's the continuous reporting of the crime in PG County and B'more that's blinding me.

I'm guessing the special circumstances were a walk in your back yard where all the 'critters' and
the owls live. Hell, I can understand your having a round chambered under those 'special
circumstances'.

--------------------------------------

I don't know about other states but the gun permit application in MA
has specific questions regarding drug addiction and/or a history of
"habitual drunkenness" or treatment for alcohol abuse. There's a
reason for that. I believe answering in the affirmative will
disqualify the applicant for a permit. They may qualify following a
treatment program and a doctor's statement that the person has
successfully been drug or alcohol free for a period of 5 years.
Both
addictions are considered to be mental health issues.

Having had some up close and personal experience in the past year
with
an alcoholic who we were finally able to get into a program for
recovery, I can completely support that restriction. Drug and
alcohol addiction can totally change a person into someone you would
never recognize.



Seems silly. A recovering alcoholic, one who's not had a drink for
over five years, let's say, would
need a doctor to attest to that? How the hell would a doctor know? The
Form 4473 has a similar
question about addiction to marijuana, narcotics, etc. It would be
very easy for a slightly less
than honest person to simply say 'no'. Unless there were some record
or conviction, he 'd get away
with it.

I've gone through the same experience you have with an alcoholic. The
individual, a brother, has
been sober for several years now. I wouldn't hesitate to let him buy a
firearm. He's also a retired
cop.

--------------------------------------------------------

Silly?

When you think your brother was mentally responsible enough to own
firearms? A month or two into his recovery? A year?

I guess it depends on the circumstances, but it's the reason the
question is asked on the questionnaires. Sure, if you lie you might
get away with it until it catches up with you. That's a crime also.

The experience we had was one of the most difficult times I've had in
my life. The person was hell bent on self-destruction due to many
issues and pressures and his personality completely changed, often
ugly. It finally started to take a turn for the better when I
happened to visit to check up on him and found him in an alcohol
induced coma. He was going into respiratory failure and I had to
shake and slap him around until the paramedics arrived to keep him
breathing. His blood alcohol level was measured at the hospital at
450 (.45 in more common terminology). .08 is the level normally
considered to be "drunk". Anything over .35 (or 350) is considered
a lethal dose.

are some crazy-assed folks out there who will kill people - with guns or not with guns. A majority
of those on the right, including a majority of NRA members, agree with the background checks. Many
of the other laws, such as the majority of the rules passed by Maryland, are simply stupid. They'd
have done nothing to prevent the last child massacre.

However, a janitor with a concealed carry permit could have prevented it.

I must have missed the constitution amendment process?

The Constitution says you have the right to bear arms and you do.

The Constitution says we all have the right to keep and bear arms.

Are you saying that right also extends to convicted felons, people
with serious mental health issues, alcoholics and drug addicts?


The Constitution does not exclude them.

But then again, a convicted felon forfeited some of his rights. Those with serious mental health
issues could easily be considered a danger to themselves and/or society. Alcoholics and drug
addicts? How would that he controlled. I doubt if AA or NA are going to provide lists of members.
And besides, members don't 'sign up' or register to be a member.

I don't know what the regs are in a loose state like Virginia, but in
Maryland if you are buying a firearm, you have to fill out a
questionnaire for the state police on which you state under criminal
penalties whether you are of legal age, whether you are engaging in a
straw purchase, whether you've been convicted of a crime of violence,
whether you've been convicted of a misdemeanor act of domestic violence,
whether you are the respondent in a protective order, whether you've
been committed to a mental institution, whether you are a habitual
drunkard, et cetera. Say yes to any of 'em and your app is denied and
you might get arrested.

Anyone here a heavy drinker?



Completion of the ATF Form 4473 is a requirement in Virginia. I would assume the same is true of
Maryland, as it's a Federal form. But who knows? Maryland may have its own form which asks the same
questions.

Maryland has its own form. Two pages, one for the applicant, one for the
dealer. Similar and duplicative in many areas of federal form. Remember,
in Maryland, the state police get involved in your app to buy a pistol.

Well, that explains it then. Now I know why Maryland is such a safe state in which to reside. Well,
except for certain parts, that is. If I were walking through PG County or B'more at night, I'd damn
sure consider that a 'special circumstance'!

I know this will be difficult for a racist bigot like you to understand,
Herring, but there are some beautiful, rural areas of PG County that are
much nicer than where you live but where decent people do live and
aren't particularly impacted by street crime. We dine at a couple of
locally owned restaurants in PG County, and never feel any "fear."


Harry, must you always resort to name-calling. Does your continuous reference to the MS-13 gangs
overrunning Fairfax County not make you just as much a racist bigot? I've driven through PG County
quite often. You're right, there are some pretty, rural areas there. But, if my car broke down at
2AM in one of those pretty, rural areas, I'd definitely consider that a special circumstance!


No, John, they don't. Perhaps you are not aware of this, but...the MS-13
gangsters are not of any particular race.

Maybe you should read up on them a little. Although, I'm sure you knew they were mostly central
Americans. Note also that PG County, MD, gets a mention right up there with Fairfax County.

"Mara Salvatrucha (commonly abbreviated as MS, Mara, and MS-13) is a transnational criminal gang
that originated in Los Angeles and has spread to other parts of the United States, Canada, Mexico,
and Central America.[6] The majority of the gang is ethnically composed of Central Americans and
active in urban and suburban areas. In the U.S., the MS-13 has an especially heavy presence in Los
Angeles County and the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California; the Washington, D.C.
metropolitan areas of Fairfax County, Virginia, Montgomery County, Maryland, and Prince George's
County, Maryland; Long Island, New York; the Boston, Massachusetts area; Charlotte, North Carolina;
and Houston, Texas."


As to your car breaking down at 2 AM, you might consider doing what I
would do: I call AAA.

Yes, a couple hour wait with the MS-13 folks looking for a car would be fun!


We've been in Baltimore many fine days and evenings in all parts of the
city, and have never been accosted or even felt like we were under a
threat. A few weeks ago, while returning home from National Airport one
evening, the Suitland Parkway was blocked because of an accident, and we
had to detour to a part of DC/Maryland you would consider dangerous. I
got a bit lost and stopped at a convenience store/gas station to get out
and ask for directions. I said "hi" to the guys milling around and they
said "hi" back. No sweat.

I think your white man's culture of privilege is blinding you.


You are so brave! What a man, Harry. No wonder Donnie is so enthralled! Yes, I've been to Baltimore
also. There are some beautiful spots in that fine town. There are also some spots I would not want
to find myself at 2AM. But then again, I'm not you.

Actually, it's the continuous reporting of the crime in PG County and B'more that's blinding me.

I'm guessing the special circumstances were a walk in your back yard where all the 'critters' and
the owls live. Hell, I can understand your having a round chambered under those 'special
circumstances'.

You're an asshole, Herring. No racial epithet needed.


Because I guessed the 'special circumstances'? Damn, Harry, you're hard!
