Gun Dealers Dealing With Financial Hardship In Md

Gun dealers across Maryland say they are facing a situation right that is causing them big headaches and for some financial hardship. Some dealersbelieve they have been put in a very tough position. All at the same time while their customers are waiting longer than they bargained for to get the firearms they hope to purchase.

Not to mention the fact that there are very few guns being made available from gun manufacturers for stores to even offer customers as lawmakers debate gun control.

Gun dealers, like Joe Woods at his Maryland Quartermaster store along Main Street in Bel Air, find themselves literally sitting on guns that folks want to buy, because right now there is a five-to six-week backlog in processing background checks even though the law in Maryland requires just a 7-day wait for that background check before a firearm can go out the door of a firearms store to a legal owner.

If the law requires just a 7 day wait period and it is taken a month then the State of Maryland is breaking the law they passed. Here we are again. Democrats with no clue.

Not only that we can't buy ammo in stores or online. People who vote for Democrats are like syphilis and need to be eradicated.

I have never seen a gun dealer, only get a deposit. Heck I have 5 pistols pending now for 6 weeks, and paid for all of them up front. Dealers get the money up front, if you get denied, they have it in the contract NO REFUND, then they keep your money and re-sell the gun.

Bottom line is Maryland is overrun with too many ignorant Democrats, and they are so stupid they don't even know it themselves.

If that is true, anyone who signs such a contract is a fool.
