Witnessing what we have in the past 4 years...I'm inclined to think it will not hit the Supreme Court anytime soon. And John Roberts will pull another one out of the hat in the 11th hour.

It could happen sure enough. If it does I may have to move to a state that actually abides by the Bill of Rights. That's where all the jobs are going anyways...

I thought all the jobs went to China?

Marlin, Mossberg, Ruger, and Colt are in CT. That's a lot of industry that CT must not want anymore.

If I could count the amount of business that has left Maryland because of our spineless gov'ner on one hand it would be a miracle. Sometimes they shoot themselves in their own foot. No pun intended.

You know, It will be kind of a big deal if COLT ends up moving out of CT. Cause, guess who manufactures the service rifles that every branch of our armed forces have been using...

EDIT: As maryland goes, Beretta is still there, you know, the guys who make the service pistol that all our armed forces are using. However, they are being "wooed" by other states to move as well. Not sure if they're serious or not, but I've heard they're giving it some thought.

edit:
yup.

It would not surprise me. Maryland is courting casinos now.

Hah, they are inviting a whole slew of problems that come along with casinos. Drugs, prostitution, etc etc. See vegas.

EDIT: What i should have said, was an increase in crime.

You know there was an argument made that our country has always been "awash" in firearms and readily available ammunition, and yet it's only within the last decade do the rise of mass shootings occur. What changed? Moral decay was the argument. Certainly some validity to that claim if a state would replace good honest trade skill jobs, with a vice industry.

[AVGWarhawk]

The state has been lying about the casinos for years. Money for schools. Job, jobs, jobs....etc. Truly a joke. But the morons in MD still vote this same idiots in for office. The taxes go up constantly. The state has not seen one red cent from the casinos. Sure as hell financed them. Soon there will be game tables. Currently it is one armed bandits. So yes, there will be more crime. But hey, more jobs for security. School won't see any money as claimed by the gov'nr. Sad state of affairs.

I am the proud new owner of a Mass large capacity / concealed weapons license to carry.

It only took 10 weeks. Lightning speed here in the peoples republic.

You have to have a permit for what I'm assuming are normal capacity magazines? (IE, anything over 10 rounds)

EDIT:
And while im on that subject, what is "large capacity" and what is normal depends on the firearm being talked about.

Say for example your talking about a 9MM handgun. Normal or standard mags would be 15 or 17 rounds. The mag sits flush with the end of the grip. A large capacity would be 30 rounds. The mag sticks way the heck down past the grip.

Conversely, for a rifle like the M1A, normal capacity is 20 rounds. High capacity would be 25 rounds. (yes really) Or an AR-15, Normal capacity would be 30 rounds. Hell, they ship with 30 round mags. High capacity for an AR-15 would be anything in excess of 30. Typically 50 or 100 round drum mags or something like that.

Yeah fixed or detachable holding more than 10 rifle rounds or 5 shotgun rounds.

You may as well as hold up a sign that says, "Fienstien was here"

No they aren't that discriminating Duc. After all these laws were written by people who know little or nothing about firearms and motivated by ignorance and fear.
