Where exactly did he go wrong? It appears that at one point he had the slide locked back; was the magazine removed? I couldn't tell from what I saw. It seems like he showed the gun's chamber to someone off screen, presumably as a double check of empty status, but obviously there was some...

Because "possession" and "transporting into MD" are not enumerated as prohibited acts, this language is generally interpreted to mean that if none of the enumerated prohibited acts take place in MD, then you are not in violation of the law. Put another way, since you can legally own 20 plus...

I propose a little experiment. One dark night, with no moonlight, Lets take am elite reporter, say, from the New York Times, and any ordinary average experienced deer hunter, and put them at opposite ends of a wooded area with a 76-100 yard clearing. Lets give the Times reporter an "assault...

Look at this link from the MD State Police regarding approved Integrated Safety Devices: http://www.mdsp.maryland.gov/mdsp/downloads/Safety_devices.pdf My understanding is that the Omega device is approved for semiautomatics only. If you want a revolver, and it does not have a key lock...

I don't know for a fact, but I suspect that no one has ever been prosecuted for violating this provision. However, exercise caution. Note that MD law forbids "purchasing" over 20 round magazines. This can be reasonably construed, in my opinion, to encompass calling a mail order dealer while...

I did not renew my ABA membership last year after I realized that this organization maintained an official anti-gun policy. I intend to send a letter to the president of the ABA advising of why I quit, and protesting his letter to our President. Apparently the ABA has become the legal arm of...

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, in the spirit of incrementalism, if anyone's gun rights are expanded, it is good for all of us. On the other hand, as someone who favors as limited a federal government as possible, I am generally opposed to federal government "mission creep"...

Integrated Locks Update The Maryland Handgun Roster Board is charged with the responsibility of ascertaining which handguns and/or devices comply with Maryland's Integrated Mechanical Safety Device law (See, e.g., Attorney General's Opinion, dated July 19, 2002, at...

I understand that there are some prepaid legal plans that cover certain criminal defense costs in certain types of cases; also, some unions provide such a benefit. On the one hand, it is good that you are considering these issues ahead of time. On the other hand, thank God that the chances of...

No, you cannot purchase a regulated firearm (generally, all modern handguns, AK-47s, AR-15s and the like) out of state directly. If you are a MD resident, regulated firearms must go thru a MD FFL or thru the State Police. If you are moving into MD, generally you do not have to "register" your...

In skimming thru this thread, I am not sure that anyone addressed the original question, which is whether or not to submit to the breath test. The important thing to note is that the variables to consider when making this decision are very state specific, and also depend on your prior record...

I agree with you that this legislation has to do with the current system. I note that an actual proposed "shall issue law" appeared in the last few days on the MD General Assembly web site. No hearing date has been scheduled as of the other nite when I looked at it.

To RACENUTZ regarding the $500 requirement. Does that mean you just have to always keep $500 in your wallet? Or do you have to be on the way to the bank to make a deposit? Just curious. Keeping $500 in the wallet would be a pain, but worth it for 24/7 CCW.

Currently, a MD handgun permit is valid for two years, unrelated to the birthdate of the permit holder. My read of this proposed legislation is that it extends the time to three years for the first renewal and subsequent renewals. However, in the transition to the birthday-based system, the...
