MSP: Gun Purchase Applications Jump In 2012

A lot more people have applied for Maryland gun purchases in 2012 than in the year before.

State Police said that there were 46,339 applications for regulated firearms in 2011.

And last year the figure was 69,606.

The difference, 23,267, represents a 50 percent increase.

The process involves a seven-day waiting period, during which time the state police do a background check. There also is a requirement for firearm safety training, according to MSP Sgt. Marc Black, Sr. That training is available online, he said.

I buy mine off the street. No registration, no paperwork, no way for them to know I have any. So they can go suck an egg, or a .45 whichever they prefer.
