...your tax stamps are worth more than your car.

He also advised me that rounds in the mags was a problem. This used to be argued both ways quite a bit by residents, but a couple of years ago the MD Attorney General issued a statement that transporting loaded magazines was legal in MD. I don't personally know any shooters in MD who transport unlo...

There seems to be a little misunderstanding and incorrect info in the original thread. This is the current state of things (to the best of my understanding). The good : - you can legally bring a handgun into MD (the handgun registry and HQL only apply to purchasing/transferring, not possession) - yo...

McCauley has become quite a vocal supporter of carry rights in MD recently and is now a regular poster on mdshooters.com about crime and carry rights. I believe that video was done earlier this month. There are a number of pro-gun bills proposed this year and, while there is little chance that any o...

Definitely helps, appreciate it. Mostly answers it for me. There is a good chance that the only proof you would have at that time is your good word. When I completed my application, I was not asked for any proof of residency. Hah, I've definitely been in MD too long. The idea that the state would ac...

Hi guys and gals. I'm currently in MD but I'll be closing on property in Buckingham County real soon now and I'd like to get going on the CHP process as soon as I can. I've searched around but haven't found answers to a few questions. Thought someone here might know what I'll need for proof of resid...

I'm optimistic. ATF is not making any announcements about 41p until May. Over 9,500 comments were submitted about this rule change and almost all of them were in opposition. I have read the opposition was as high as 99%. If ATF still does it... then they are not exercising the will of the people, b...

Thanks for the update. Sadly with 41P likely going into effect shortly thereafter it doesn't leave much time for some of us to make use of the new enhanced system.

Yeah, it certainly makes sense that the immediate response (and training) would be very similar. I'd guess it's also similar to other non-electric infrastructure failures. There's probably a lot of interesting information you could share from your experience. I also think it's worth while to look at...

Personally, I think these "catastrophic solar storm" predictions are always overblown. It's more likely that Russian and ChiCom hackers will bring down the electrical grid long before a coronal mass ejection will. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/dhs-100-million-americans-could-los...

I hope I don't sound like I am whining about the process, I am not. I am weighing the time and financial commitment of purchasing a suppressor against where, when and how often I can use it. It sounds like I should be able to use it wherever I currently shoot. That's good news. Nope, doesn't sound ...

But be ready to be an ambassador of the NFA world. Especially if you are on a range dominated by the wood stock/blued barrel crowd. They generate a bunch of curiosity. Ain't that the truth. Bringing out the SBRs and cans always seems to attract attention, especially the subsonic 300BLK. It's unders...

Well, we're under contract now. Looks like we'll soon be VA residents!

Couple of other questions for anyone in the Scottsville area... what are the decent ranges near by? Anything long range? Also, who are the active High Power clubs in the area?

Thanks!

Yeah, I didn't see anything about discharge mentioned but did notice the new first sentence from the Buckingham County Firearms Ordinance: "It shall be unlawful to have a loaded center-fire rifle of any caliber .23 or larger except while hunting from a stand elevated ten feet above the ground.&...

Thanks for the quick links! I must be dense, though... after reading through the ordinance I have to admit I'm still not sure what the law is.

Greetings! The wife and I are trying to buy some property in Buckingham County and moving down from MD. We're very excited about the prospect of moving to a state that still respects individual liberty. Looking to get a big chunk of land, and naturally intend to do some shooting, safely of course. C...
