A friend of mine came into town for a week and I took him and his sons to the range. They had never fired a gun so we started with my .22 pistol and moved up to the .44 Magnum. Then I brought out the AR and AK. They all had a great time. The ammo cost was over $300 for the day but worth every penny! I just bought 420 rounds on 5.56 brass cased with ammo box and stripper clips at 35 cents a round.

That is a silly law. Besides you are supposed to have a CCW that would allow you to have your guns loaded on your person. I still have the guns separate from the ammo (different containers) so I am not sure why it would be illegal, even in the people's republic of Md. When I lived there you could have a loaded long gun in your car. That was a long time ago tho when it was still the "free state" I have no reason to drive around with a loaded firearm. Now, if I were traveling south on I-95, I'd consider it where legal, but the worse state I'd go through to get to north Florida, South Carolina, doesn't recognize my carry permit. Why would you drive around with a loaded rifle or shotgun in your car? This ain't Montana or Wyoming. Biden said a shotgun is the best ever home defense weapon so it must be true. |

With stripper clip ammo and a spoon, I can fully load a 30 round mag before you get 6 or 8 rounds in by hand. I'm not in any hurry to load my AR mags. Besides, I have a mag loader that does a nice job with my cooperation. Yeah, I don't like the loading gates on SA revolvers. Pushing each empty shell out is a pain in the ass.

If a handgun is in the center console and the filled magazines are in the trunk, there is no problem. I would want to check that before I did it. Simply having a handgun in the passenger compartment was going to get you a big hassle when I lived there, loaded or not. It had to be in a case or a holster with a flap, away from the drivers and passengers with the ammo separated from the handgun. Yes, in a box or a holster. And, he may have said gun in the trunk and ammo in the console, or glovebox or whatever. The main point was whether or not magazines could be loaded. They can. He also said the gun should be locked, with either a cable or trigger lock, and that the key should not be with the lock. For me, he suggested I call his dad first, make an appointment, have his dad email me confirmation of the appointment and carry that with the gun to provide the legitimate reason for transporting the gun into Maryland. I'm surprised I don't have to write the Maryland government and get a one-time 'Hazardous Cargo' permit at a cost of a reasonable $50 or so. -- Guns don't cause problems.

I had an optometry appointment Thursday. We talked about shooting. Told him that I could see sights and a blurry target with computer glasses, or see a sharp target and very blurry sights with the distance glasses. I asked if he could write a prescription to enable both with the same glasses. He looked at me and simply said, "No." If you have the ability to shoot with both eyes open, there is the solution that works for me. My lasik'd distance vision is good in both eyes, but since I am creaky and old, I need reading glasses for...reading...or to clearly see the sights on a pistol or rifle. So...I have a reading lens on the right eye side of the glasses and either no lens or a clear lens on the left eye. Somehow what is left of my creaky brain is able to "merge" what I see so that I can easily and clearly see the firearm sights *and* the target. Your mileage may vary. I only shoot a rifle with one eye. Where do you store the other one? |

Yup, we are learning that here... off to the LCQ :) What is a "LCQ" ? "Last chance qualifier". It's a racing term. After the qualifying motos in a race weekend there are usually two starting spots left on the starting gate. These spots are filled by the top two riders in the "LCQ". The main purpose of the LCQ is to make sure top riders and teams don't lose a season over one small crash, a bad start, or a blown tire during one of 40 qualifying motos in a season and lose their whole season. It gives them one more chance to get into the main event that day (where they should be). And assuming they don't have another incident, they should get that spot pretty easily as the other 20 riders in the LCQ generally didn't qualify in the qualifying events because they are just not competitive enough...
