The Czech of the Pz.35 and 38 was said to be brittle and shatter in large pieces when penetrated. WAG: The much softer US one might be best because it would allow the bullet to make a big dent into the outer armor thus transferring the energy in a way that was NOT wanted. HESH minus the HE! Those crafty Poles...When Ian pointed out that the bullets were jacketed lead, I went 'Hunh??' myself.

It's still a bit surprising that a ban state allows them in; I guess he's protected by his federal licensing (FFL, SOT and all that). Do students have to ship their guns ahead? I'd be worried about the police if stopped in MD while carrying my rifle to or from a class.

It'll be awhile before I could go there for a class, but his location is up in the NE corner of MD. One could stay in a motel in DE and drive over, its only a few miles. I think one could sorta flank MD by driving mostly thru PA. It sounds like there are very complicated rules in MD.
Markus Becker Posted September 2 Posted September 2 What's the legal situation if you transport your rifle disassembled and in a locked bag(s)? In other news. The end credits are comedy gold.

The end credits are comedy gold. Depends on Maryland law and the zeal of the cops. 'The [Maryland] law prohibits the possession, sale, transfer, or purchase of specific military-style firearms, including the AR-15 and AK-47, and limits gun magazines to 10 rounds', so even a disassembled and locked rifle may be considered a violation. It may be that non-residents can bring such rifles into Maryland for courses, but I will definitely learn the details before bringing a rifle to a SOTAR class.
Ivanhoe Posted September 3 Posted September 3 Back in the 90s, when I lived in Virginia, I attended a GSSF match in MD. My understanding of the rules at the time was that I was technically OK as long as I was driving to the match, participating in the match, and driving back out of state. I made sure I did not need a bathroom break anywhere in MD, as that could be construed as violating the law.

Huh? Didn't the Supreme Court rule thstbyou can't ban firearms that are in common use? And both the AK and AR are quite common, aren't they?
Tim Sielbeck Posted September 3 Posted September 3 (edited) Yes, they did. That, however, does not stop stupid, corrupt people from passing such laws. Edited September 3 by Tim Sielbeck

There is all sorts of lawfare, financed by billionare activists, that continually challenge legal findings and seek to bankrupt 2A-related businesses with repeated frivolous lawsuits.
shep854 Posted September 3 Posted September 3 From the SOTAR website, 'Course Information': (Weapons Prohibited in Maryland) ANY AR15 Rifle or Carbine that was OWNED on/after 10/1/2013 that has 2 or MORE Features. These features are referred to as “Copy Cat Features”: NOTE: Evil Features Include: 1) Folding Stock (COLLAPSIBLE STOCK DOES NOT APPLY) 2) Flash Hider (Sound Suppressor/Silencers COUNT as a Flash Hider) 3) Grenade Launcher

Ssnake Posted September 3 Posted September 3 I mean, AIUI, Nevada allows private ownership of non-demilitarized tanks. A 40mm grenade launcher on a semi-auto seems tame in comparison, though concealment is somewhat easier.
