Your states best firearms laws?

A co-worker, friend and fellow USPSA shooter has an SBR a couple of supressors (my daughter loves his 1911 .22 with the hush puppy on it) and has or has had every gun I've considered buying except my XDM.


And yes he is not married, never been married and not even dating.

That was kind of obvious from the rest of your post

Folks in Texas have noticed.  This is from our NRA affiliate - the Texas State Rifle Association:

A proposal to existing Wyoming law is causing a stir in Texas.
 HB 104 is an amendment to a tenuous existing Wyoming law which is currently being decided in the courts.   Is this an admirable public policy statement or a tool to stop an aggressive federal intrusion?   If Wyoming HB 104 is a "usable tool" as intended, the Texas Legislature will certainly follow.   
 
In the meantime, others have stepped forward.  Lt. Governor David Dewhurst was recently asked if a remedy was available in the state of Texas to stop firearm confiscations and other serious attacks on 2nd Amendment rights.
 
Dewhurst answered that he could be named as the plaintiff in a lawsuit on behalf of the State of Texas against the Federal Government.  A temporary restraining order would halt the onerous action.  The suit would likely go to the U.S. Supreme Court which could take 2 years.  Our lawyer?  Why,  Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, of course! 
 
While the Wyoming law might work against a federal assault, remember the Texas Legislature is still organizing for legislative session with 138 days to go. Final passage for most legislation takes about half that time to cycle through the entire process.
 
We might need quicker action.  It's good to know we have friends in high places. watching.

Well, Tom, 4th out of 50 on the worst list doesn't seem like the model to use for me. But, if you guys want the pain of slugging through MD's gun laws, have at it. Here are two "summaries"' to start you on your way:

http://www.oag.state.md.us/Opinions/2010/95oag101.pdf which governs what the hell is an assault weapon or a reasonable facsimile thereof. And...

http://www.mcsm.org/mdlaw.html which is a summary of overall MD firearms laws.

Two things you can do to really check on what you can buy from here is go to a big arms dealer like Buds or some manufacturers sites and see what they are even willing to ship into this state. The other is to bring your CCW into this state and walk up to a trooper and say howdy. So few CC Permits are issued in MD because you literally have to prove some one is actually threatening your life or your job or business ownership is such that without being armed your life is naturally in danger. 90% of CCW applications are denied and the state brags about that. Oh yeah, MD doesn't yet recognize CCW licenses from any other state so perhaps you needn't do what I suggested earlier. Please notice on the banned "assault" weapons list how many are SEMI-AUTOMATIC. Any semi-auto that can accept a mag capacity of 20 rounds or more is a no-no. The laws here are convoluted and you are at the mercy of the Secretary of Police and your local Sheriff.

And, no, I don't want to move to Hawaii, New Jersey, New York or California (even though I lived there for a few years back in the 50's). I have enough frustration right here in MD.
