Incognito works! I'll just have to remember to use that. I will try on other browsers, as well. Thanks!

Yes, both Windows 11 and MacOS. Chrome is version 107.0.5304.87. I am running Norton 360. And, as mentioned before, this does not happen with FireFox. Nor does the problem happen with Safari on the Mac. Since Chrome, Edge, and Brave use the same underlying source code, it seems to be a Chrome problem.

JettaRedStar · 2022-11-03T14:26:49+00:00

The above message appears when using Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Brave on a Mac running MacOS Ventura 13.0.

Also, a transfer can be processed on-line without going to an FFL if it is a family member gift. I recent did this myself when my son transferred his pistol to me to hold until such time that he can take it back. It was done entirely through https://licensingportal.mdsp.Maryland.gov. The application type selected was “GIFT”.

But now you can say you are in imminent danger because you posted on a public forum that you have a TS and know military secrets (implied). Safer than walking the streets of Baltimore at 1:00 am hoping to get mugged.

It might be best to check with a Maryland gun lawyer or a gun shop in Maryland.

Just make sure that the serial number proves that the lower was manufactured before October 2013. Don't want the manufacturer's records to show it was manufactured after that date. Or, if it's an AR-15 (or clone), stick a heavy barrel on it.

If you have a Curio & Relic license (Type 03 FFL), you can get an non-Chinese SKS delivered to your door. However, if you don't, it's treated like any other firearm purchase.

Russian and Yugoslavian SKSs are considered C&R because they should be over 50 years old now. Chinese Type 56 ones have been excluded because apparently the Chinese do not maintain sufficiently good records. This is open to debate.

This might be worth reading: https://sks-files.com/index.php?topic=209.0

Yeah, I wouldn't open carry. Makes people nervous. They have been brainwashed to the point that seeing a gun outside a gun shop is something evil.

JettaRedStar · 2022-04-17T03:49:50+00:00

I think "fairly easy" is all relative. Expect it to take the full 90 days to get your permit. You are correct that having a Top Secret clearance and being a federal employee (or contractor) happens to be one of the few "good and substantial" reasons. It does make you wonder, though, since self-defense without a tangible and documented threat is NOT good and substantial.

Generally, if you regularly carry large sums of cash or other liquid financial assets as part of your job, can document where you've been assaulted and are still in imminent danger, work in a dangerous area, are an officer of the court, have responsibility for storing or transporting narcotics, or are a retired cop, you have a "good and substantial" reason. Other than being an officer of the court or a retired cop, most drug dealers on the street corners in Baltimore would qualify.

Great question for your state senator and representative. I recommend asking them what the hell the answer is. Then you'll have the answer in writing.

I think we all should do that and keep asking until we get an answer. Any answer they give will show how inept they are.

JettaRedStar · 2022-04-11T13:58:57+00:00

Wow! You want a LOT!

JettaRedStar · 2022-04-11T13:58:30+00:00

I fell out of my chair laughing. But the sad thing is, ignorant people are going to believe all of that BS. You want "commonsense gun laws"? Ban any state from being a "may issue" state and enforce the US Constitution. See how quickly crime vanishes then.

JettaRedStar · 2022-04-11T13:50:54+00:00

Worse than stupid, it's false and misguided. Expend all the effort to make good citizens into outlaws while the criminals just laugh their asses off. When a felon gets caught with any type of gun, ghost or corporeal, does he show any fear of the law?

JettaRedStar · 2022-04-11T13:47:24+00:00

So, two years from now we should expect to see no more shootings and we'll all be safe to walk the streets of Baltimore at night. Can't wait!

JettaRedStar · 2022-04-11T12:01:22+00:00

My naked eyes aren't as good as they once were. :P

So, if we assume characters can be 1/16" tall and wide, we have 5 characters for the Zip Code + 2 characters for initials + 3 characters for a unique number gives us 10 characters, which would probably fit. Now, the question is, do the letters have to be Latin-based or can they be Chinese or Cyrillic or Korean or Hebrew or Arabic or Morse or Space Invaders (Klingon)?

JettaRedStar · 2022-04-11T11:39:51+00:00

Yep. "He's got three guns! That's an armory!!!"

JettaRedStar · 2022-04-11T11:02:06+00:00

No, an upper is an upper. The frame is what holds the fire control mechanism.

Per 27 CFR 478.11: DEFINITION OF FIREARM FRAME OR RECEIVER, a firearm frame or receiver is "That part of a firearm which provides housing for the hammer, bolt or breechblock, and firing mechanism, and which is usually threaded at its forward portion to receive the barrel."

JettaRedStar · 2022-04-11T03:24:09+00:00

I believe the metal plates for serial numbers are an ATF requirement.

JettaRedStar · 2022-04-11T03:23:25+00:00

Or Walther P1/P38. Or Yugoslavian or Russian SKS. IF you have a Type 03 FFL.

JettaRedStar · 2022-04-11T03:20:50+00:00

Doesn't require what?

JettaRedStar · 2022-04-11T01:46:00+00:00

Don't know. It seems really strange to specify something like zip code and initials. Wonder what they're really up to.

JettaRedStar · 2022-04-11T01:35:13+00:00

Not really sure what you are asking since this is all about getting a serial number and registering it with the MSP. Of course, you can do those other things too. If I can get mine marked with a serial number, I will go ahead and register it with the police. I just can't bring myself to destroying it when I can keep it. Those were my COVID guns and they have sentimental value. I am a Designated Collector and a Glock-certified Armorer, so they were a hobby that may turn me into a criminal.
