Nope. And I didn't say I got it for the fun of it. Those are your words.

No you said it was a "on a lark".


Yawn.

One more time. Some years ago, a poster in this newsgroup who was out of
control and apparently still is, made some direct and indirect threats
of violence towards me and to other posters here. In my case, it was
also hinted the violence would be perpetrated upon me by a motorcycle
gang member.

I took the threats seriously and contacted law enforcement in his area.
Two officers were dispatched to talk to the fellow. I reported all the
communications to the local and state police authorities here, who also
took them seriously. It was suggested I apply for a carry permit. My
lawyer said he could handle the application and other paperwork. I said
"Sure, go ahead." That's all there was to it. For me, the process itself
was a lark, since *I* really didn't have to do much and it gave me a smile.

I keep forgetting this is rec.boats. :)

It had to be in a case or a holster with a flap, away from the drivers

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.

I doubt your AR will even use stripper clips. I can see why you don't
mess with them. My M1A can directly charge the magazine in the gun
from the top with a stripper clip and the bolt kicks it out of the
holder when you close it.

The box came with an attachment for the clip.

I have a couple of those magazine loader "spoons" John was talking
about but I have never used them. I always load the magazines from
loose rounds. I do have some battle packs in strippers but I haven't
even opened the bags. I have a bunch more in strippers in a can but I
haven't got down to shooting them either. I am still working on stuff
that was boxed. If you just stack them in a 30 cal ammo can in
alternate directions you get almost 400 rounds in there that way.

I don't recall anything about a loader 'spoon'. I have some stripper clips for the
Mosin Nagant, but don't use them. Hell, it takes more time to load the clip and then
load the rifle than to just load the rifle.

Besides, the extra time used for loading the rifle enables one to think on what a
****ty shot one is!

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."

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.

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.

Did you chisel all this ancient info on a pylon? I did have a Florida
carry permit long before the above incident, but a Florida permit is
worth zilch in Maryland.

Something like this may work.

My vision is not good in either eye. I'll have a cataract operation on the right in a
few years, which may help. But there is no possibility of a 'clear' lens on one side.
Both lenses have a 5 degree prism built in also.

Probably due to smoking like everything else.
