The model chambered in 7.62 NATO is 30 inches long. He could carry that one under existing law.

Give Dems the MAJORITY in the House and Senate and White House, and they’ll pass whatever they please, and that WILL include outlawing ALL privately held firearms.

And I know people here can try to be cute, but you WILL be a FELON if caught with one, for whatever reason, whenever. One little slip and you’re doing 20 years.

It’s time conservatives figure out that their REAL ENEMY is the Democrats, and make it a priority to stop them, rather than to ‘purify’ the party.

You’re singing to the choir.

Applying for a wear and carry permit. While I still can.

"Applying for a wear and carry permit."

You forgot the "/s" designation...
Unless you are a politician (of the communist persuasion), gun/pawnshop store owner, or retired LEO, no one gets a carry permit in MD...

Just more expensive and more hoops to jump through.

Yeah, I know. That's my point. If the ARs that are in common use had the option to have a select fire trigger group when they were purchased, most of them would have and they would be "in common use". And they are more expensive because there are no new ones. The select fire option on an AR or M1A might add $25 to a new one.

Can't one be assaulted by any weapon?

Baseball bat = assault weapon
Tire iron = assault weapon
knife = assault weapon
Wooden stock rifle = assault weapon
That nasty black stock rifle = a wooden stock rifle!
etc., etc, etc.....

> Not that conservatives can understand this, but 4 MORE House seats would mean that Maryland’s gun bans (or worse) become national.

Probably will be part of McCarthy’s deal to get the speakership.

“It would be 1776 time.”

Good one. It’s been 2 year since Jan 6th, how many protests, much less revolutions, have their been in DC?

True.

Wish I knew, in 1985, what I know now.

Apparently, they are, in the Demonrats gun control utopia of Chicongo.

Saw a video of black 8th grade "graduates" showing off their glocks with "switches" that allow them to be shot full auto.

Will the ATF go after these fully recognizable "yutes"?

No, much better for the narrative to go after a White MAGA "DVE" that purchased a perfectly legal FRT or a solvent trap.

And Communism is about to return to the Governor’s Mansion up there (sigh).

Glad I moved to Florida.

In other news, according to Charlie Kirk, an estimated 400,000 Georgia GOP Voters sat the runoff out, handing the win to a man whose ideology has killed people round the world in the scores of millions.

If we keep being this picky, we’re toast.

Governor Hogan waived that requirement after the SCOTUS decision overturning various CCW restrictions. I fully expect Wes Moore-on to re-instate it after he takes over.

A friend of mine in Maryland applied for CCW after the decision, and he got it. He has no political connections.
