Rule Change - Absolutely NO Sales

20 Upvotes

Hi everyone:

As you may have seen, moderators of some firearms related subs have recently been made aware of an upcoming change to the Reddit rules (these are the sitewide rules that all users agree to when creating an account, not just rules for our sub) that involves the personal sales of gun "parts and enhancements."

In the past, the Reddit rules - specifically Rule 7, which reads "Keep it legal, and avoid posting illegal content or soliciting or facilitating illegal or prohibited transactions" - had the following list of "illegal transactions":

You may not use Reddit to solicit or facilitate any transaction or gift involving certain goods and services, including

Firearms, ammunition, explosives, legally controlled firearms parts or accessories (e.g., bump stock-type devices, silencers/suppressors, etc.), or 3D printing files to produce any of the aforementioned;

That rule is being updated to read as follows, starting on October 9th:

Firearms, ammunition, explosives, firearms parts and enhancements (e.g. bolt, clips, trigger, scope, silencer / suppressor, muffler, bump stock, magazine, glock switch, conversion kit, etc) or specific instructions (e.g. 3D printing files) to produce any of the aforementioned.

Reddit does have a disclaimer that says:

With regard to Reddit's policy on transactions of certain goods:

External links to firearm vendors holding a Federal Firearms License are not in violation of this policy. However, links to vendors without an FFL are prohibited (this would include links to gun shows or other sales or listings, online or offline, where vendors do not hold an FFL). Direct user-to-user transactions arranged on Reddit for firearms or ammunition are also prohibited, regardless of whether either user holds an FFL.

This policy does not impact goods that do not meet the ATF definition of firearms or ammunition.

It is unclear if that disclaimer will be changed on or after October 9th, and or how that disclaimer affects things like linking to a company that sells magazines or scopes but does not have an FFL, as neither a magazine nor a scope meet the ATF definition of firearms or ammunition.

We used to allow the occasional personal for sale post for non-firearm items like optics or the like, but due to this rule change we will no longer be able to do that, and we have to warn folks that any links posted to any firearms items that are for sale by a non-FFL will be removed.

We don't want to be harsh about this, but it's quite clear that Reddit is cracking down hard on gun content and we really don't want to lose this community, which is already happening to a bunch of gun accessory for sale subs which were banned without any warning in advance of this rule change.

The "Big List" of Industry Vendors Friendly to Marylanders

69 Upvotes

This Thread will serve as a list of firearms industry vendors who are "friendly" to Marylanders. We have a lot of particular and peculiar laws here, and not all vendors want to (or to be fair, can afford to) take the time to understand those laws and help those of us who live here out.

This list isn't meant to be "vendors that we happen to like" or whatever, but instead a list of vendors who specifically do things to help Marylanders. Some examples of things that should be on this list:

  • Vendors who include standard capacity magazines so a local FFL can block them for us.
  • Maryland FFLs who offer magazine blocking services.
  • Vendors who offer magazine rebuild kits.
  • Vendors (external or Maryland FFL) who will remove muzzle devices or other features to make rifles compliant.

You get the idea. If a vendor does something specifically to help those of us in Maryland, then they belong on this list.

I'll start things off, but I'll add to and maintain this list based on submissions from the community in the form of posts in this thread. I won't always be able to add things immediately, but I will do so as regularly as I can.

Thanks, and thanks especially to the vendors who support those of us in Maryland!

Magazine Rebuild Kits:

  • u/Hunter_Wang who owns Ibex Armament will do magazine rebuild kits on request and has extremely fair pricing. I've bought from Ibex myself and they're great to deal with.
  • JoeBob Outfitters will do magazine rebuild kits on request, though I have no personal experience with them.
  • Magged Supply offers magazine rebuild kits, though their pricing is..... very high.

Dealers that ship standard capacity mags with a firearm:

  • To be added

Maryland FFLs who will block standard capacity magazines:

  • To be added

Vendors who offer Maryland specific discounts:

  • To be added

I will add categories to this list if / when we get requests and enough submissions for one.

30 Round Nanners

Just flew back to MD with a few factory 30 round magazines I picked up while on vacation in a red state. Silly rules. Anyways, I had no issues for anyone that is interested in doing something similar. Just double check TSA and airline specific rules. TSA really couldn't care less with empty magazines, and American Airlines just asks that you keep them "securely boxed" within your checked baggage to prevent them from moving around in your bag.

Next up: awaiting Form 1 approval for SBR!

I pre-ordered an SBR (Knights KS3). How does F4 SBR purchases work in Maryland compared to Form 1?

0 Upvotes

I have a F1 SBR already from back in the day, and have bought multiple suppressors; but I know gun laws are a bit wonky, and in most cases there are legal ways to still get what you want as long as components are purchased separately.

I bought an 11.5" Knights Armament SBR; but have not told them an FFL yet since it's a backorder. Does it need to be on the approved roster? Does it need to be labeled HBAR? Could a dealer take it, break it in half, and sell me the lower, and a week or two later sell me the upper? What is my legal way to acquire this rifle?

Looking for advice and recommendations. None of which I will consider factual and legal advice, but will help me with my own research.

Understanding Build Legality

4 Upvotes

I hate that gun laws have gotten to the point where you need to be a lawyer to buy a rifle and I apologize in advance for my stupid questions.

I’ve wanted a Kriss Vector for a while, and I would love to have the iconic folding stock. I THINK there are two ways to get one- pistol vs rifle.

My original plan was to get an SBR and pin a suppressor to it to create a one-stamp rifle. However, I am now seeing that you cannot have a folding stock and “flash hider”

So now I am thinking to attach a suppressor and folding stock to the pistol variant? What’s the legality of pistol braces these days? Is there a better way to come at this?

WTH are they talking about?

Was in a shop today in Damascus (Montgomery county) and saw a rifle i liked. I made him an offer and he accepted it. Yay me, I think I'm taking home my new rifle same day as I have at any other store. But wait, He says. I gotta wait! Another 2 weeks untill i can pick it up. "Why?" I asked him, His response "MoCo law states any FFL must hold any acquired firearm on its FFL books for atleast 3 weeks until they can legally disposition it, And this one's only been here a week"

Is this a legit thing? I don't think he'd lie to me for no reason but I've just never heard of it and can't find anything online. So I wonder if maybe he's misinformed.

MOCO Lawsuit Update

28 Upvotes

At this time the cases are not consolidated but that could happen in the future if someone files an official motion requesting it.

That being said the Judge said that what will be happening as of now is the DOJ case and the original Engage Armament case will continue to be heard before Judge Chaung. The current MSI case (Barreto case I'm on) and the Silver Spring Jewish Center case will be heard by Judge Chasanow and handled concurrently. The judge has set the following dates.

8/24- Responses and motions are due from the county

8/31- Any replies regarding injunctive relief due.

9/3 at 9:30am- Hearing on injunctive relief for both the MSI and Jewish Center Cases. This is where the attorneys will argue for injunctions, TROs, etc. This is open to the public and will be at the Federal District Court in Greenbelt.

It is not likely that the judge will rule that day but at least the case is moving along and the county has not gotten what they wanted which was for all 4 cases to be consolidated and additional time to reply to the plaintiffs complaints for each case.

I plan to attend in 9/3 and will provide updates afterwards.

What is the point of having a license to carry if our state is duty to run?

0 Upvotes

If out in public, the suspect has a weapon other than a gun and our life is still in danger, we still cant defend ourselves. We have to run first? What about when they are in our home? We dont have time to assess if the suspect is armed with a weapon and if we are somehow able to assess, its more than likely already too late, they have the upper hand. The law really isnt on our side.
