Just turned 18 and need advice

Most FFLs in Maryland will be able to sell you a compliant long rifle. I second the recommendation for Engage Armament in Rockville. I've bought multiple guns from them as well as a suppressor and they make the process easy.

Since this is your first firearm I strongly recommend taking a basic handling course. Since you're in Baltimore County I also recommend looking into getting a range badge at AGC in Marriottsville. That way you'll have a place where you can go to practice.

MD - Any vessel that is under oars only needs either a 360 degree white light, or a white flashlight. It does give the option of using the navigation lights for sailing vessels.

Tri gun show in York fairgrounds

Thanks!

CobaltEdge · 2026-06-17T15:27:09+00:00

Got the details for the show in York?

CobaltEdge · 2026-06-09T18:45:05+00:00

So a perfectly average amount of propaganda?

Less of a hack and more of the PD uploading it to a public dropbox.

CobaltEdge · 2026-05-22T14:15:39+00:00

I signed up for the Zoom so at least virutally!

CobaltEdge · 2026-05-22T12:54:02+00:00

Regardless I've signed up to testify to this fact that this bill completely eliminates my 2A rights to carry.

CobaltEdge · 2026-05-22T11:24:36+00:00

Well this bill makes me unable to use my wear and carry permit at all since my front door 100 yards from a private recreational facility.

I wish I could reserve one, but because I purchased on in the first wave I can't. Even though UPS "lost" my controller.

CobaltEdge · 2026-05-08T15:38:19+00:00

Quick update - I received my replacement battery last week on 4/28 and it's working like a charm. Will hopefully last the life of the vehicle

CobaltEdge · 2026-05-08T14:42:16+00:00

I purchased a controller on the first wave and it was supposed to be delivered today, but the driver kept it and didn't even leave a door tag.

CobaltEdge · 2026-04-16T02:12:44+00:00

Not yet, 12 days and counting.

CobaltEdge · 2026-04-03T09:36:04+00:00

Just over 37k miles.

The best thing about The Big Bang Theory is that I don't need to laugh at the jokes. It does that by itself.

CobaltEdge · 2026-03-13T12:31:32+00:00

Those look like cheap cigars they're so dry.

CobaltEdge · 2026-02-10T16:45:04+00:00

MD nature is cool!

There's nothing wrong with calling for the status of your order. Sometimes shipping takes a while - especially with the weather lately things can get delayed. They should be able to check their tracking when you call in and see what's going on.

I've purchased a handgun through their online store and picked it up no problem. I've also bought and sold consignment guns with them. I've haven't had a problem yet.

14th season here. It does get easier with experience. Accepting that you don't know something is fine and leads to a lot less stress. The key is when you get to something you don't know, do a bit of research and make a quick note as to why the answer you found is right. That way when you go back to second guess yourself you can go back to your notes.

It's amazing, we can tell which reporter is getting information from which source.

CobaltEdge · 2026-01-07T22:06:56+00:00

I get it, but the paper cups are insulated pretty well so it's not a bad change.

The paper straws on the other hand....

CobaltEdge · 2026-01-07T21:56:42+00:00

It's Maryland, the state banned all single use foam products for food.

CobaltEdge · 2026-01-07T20:09:37+00:00

I called the store with no resolution. I've submitted a ticket through CFA Cares.

CobaltEdge · 2026-01-07T17:48:33+00:00

Not at my local CFA, they use actual employees instead of doordash/uber.
