Highlandtown

Maryland news...  A biggish gun factory in Highlandtown (East Baltimore) is trying to compete and BE the the Army's M4 replacement.  Good luck.  That'd be great if you got it.

Also, in Maryland news, my State Senator asked me...

"You're looking to expand and relocate your business. On one side of the river, you have a state that just made the tough decisions to invest in its people, fund education, and balance its budget. On the other, you have a state that considered the judicial appointment of a Navy officer who risked his life for his country and returned to become a career prosecutor--and rejected him because he's gay. Which do you choose?"

Well, the answer is the one that trusts me to be a citizen rather than a subject and is also cheaper.  So, not Maryland, if I could help it.   The ONLY reasons I don't live in Virginia is inertia and their horrible traffic.

Maryland just jacked up the taxes on ciggies and any of those rich fat cats making more than $100,000 a year.  If you live in Bethesda Maryland and you make $100,000 a year I know what your apartment looks like.  It looks like a trash dumpster.  Because that is what it actually IS, as it is all you can afford to rent.

Yep, I live in VA and fight the traffic AND I can legally carry concealed, unlike MD... For that, I will put up with the traffic.

What is it with people wanting to make guns in anti-gun hellholes?

Also: Oh look, another piston AR. ;)
