Excuse my French. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exNbPTETBNE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cGothzuJkE The NRA is an organization run by psychotic thugs to benefit their sponsors, the firearms industry. They're against anything and everything that they perceive might harm their sponsors' corporate profits, including safer firearms. Personally, I wouldn't have any objection to owning a "safe" gun. I think it's actually a pretty good idea. I think I'd still want to have a traditional handgun as well however, mainly for home defense situations where fast and easy access to a functioning firearm could save a life. My guns are kept in safes that require a code to open and that's where they are stored most of the time. But at night I have one hidden but within arm's reach from my bed. That's what it's for. Based on what I've read the NRA is not opposed to safe guns either. What the NRA is opposed to is *mandating* the implementation of such technology across the board and making it required on *all* guns. The kooks that are threatening gun dealers if they offer firearms equipped with "safe" technology are simply that .... uneducated, low IQ kooks that do not represent the NRA's position or the position of most responsible gun owners. I don't have any issues with the manufacture and sale of so-called "safe guns," nor do I have any issues with states that try to tighten up firearms safety laws. Maryland now requires purchasers of regulated firearms, such as handguns, to obtain a Handgun Qualification License. For most buyers, that will require a little firearms safety training (there are ways to be exempted), electronic fingerprinting, and a check by the staties of NICS and several other sources for criminal records. Then, when you buy a handgun, you have to fill out the federal form and the state form, have another NICS check, and wait seven working days while the staties check you out again. No biggie, any of it. Of course you can circumvent that by driving over to a Virginia gun show and buying whatever you want out without even bothering with the instant NICS check. As for the NRA, my comment stands. It is an organization run by psychotic thugs. Wayne LaPierre is crazy. Your Maryland laws now mirror the laws we have had in effect in Massachusetts for some time with some minor differences. A training certificate is required for a permit, along with fingerprinting, photo ID and background check with the state police. It can take several months to receive a permit. A "concealed carry permit" is not automatic. It is issued at the discretion of the local police department based on reason or need. The local police department may also put restrictions on a "Class A" permit, based on their determination or policy. The other classes of permits are "shall" issue (assuming a clean background check) but do not permit concealed carry. Once a permit is issued a firearm (handguns or rifles) may be purchased and taken home immediately because a current criminal check is also made at the time of purchase. No need for an additional waiting period. However, I can't legally own a gun purchased out of state unless it is via an FFL and he can't sell it to me if it is not on the list of Massachusetts approved firearms. There is a de-facto gun registry here that tracks a gun's ownership for those who obey the law. Doesn't help prevent someone stopping in Virgina or other states, buying a firearm and illegally owning it here though. And part of the problem is the "approved" weapon. You can buy a nickel plated 686 here in California. Same exact weapon also comes in a grey now. Only difference is the color. Can not purchase, as it has not passed the California drop test. Use anything to keep a weapon not being approved. |

Save your gas money. There are guys in Calvert County that will sell you a gun in a private sale. Start here http://www.mdshooters.com/vbclassifi...y&categoryid=5 That is just one of several sites I found in a quick look I would hope the smarter boys there handle their private sale transactions through an FFL. So would the smarter boys in Virginia. What's your point? It is still legal not to do so in Maryland for rifles and shotguns. Dealers need to record all transactions, even private ones, no matter what state they live in or do business in so that is not a factor at all. I doubt the gang bangers in Baltimore or the DC suburbs care about any of this and they are the ones doing most of the killing. Do yoy think the DC city streets are safe enough for Harry's woman to be doing daily walk abouts? |
