    Just helping out a friend...

    ...who needed to sell some guns to raise a little cash. I was offered two guns, a Winchester 1200 12 Ga (in which I had no interest), and Ruger P89, in which I do. To make a long story short(er), I bought 'em both for $300, promptly sold the shotgun for $150, and now have a P89 that I'm into...

    Maryland Alert!

    Greetings MD Residents, The current legislative session is about to end WITHOUT the full Senate getting to vote on the "castle Doctrine" bill.
