Hello everyone. I just purchased my Smith and Wesson M&P 22 last weekend, and now its waiting Maryland background check purgatory. 50 days or so is the backlog. I wanted to get my order in now before the horrible control law goes into effect.

A little about myself. I'm a veteran on the Navy. I spent 6.5 years on active duty, another 2 on reserve duty, and now I'm just inactive. I shot a bunch in the beginning of my time in the service, but not so much until after I got out. I'm a computer systems engineer living in the not so gun friendly state of MD.

I bought my first rifle a few months ago, and then bought my M&P22 last week. It took a little while to convince my wife since we have young kids in the house, but when the boys get a bit older, I hope to slowly teach them gun safety.

I try to get to the range about once a week to keep up my marksmanship.

Looking forward to sharing stuff with a fine group of folks on here.

And a warm welcome from “wild and wonderful “ West Virginia at least that’s what they tell us.
 
welcome, I'm originally from Maryland so I feel your pain!

What!? Things sure have changed, and not for the better... when I was there if you were "not disapproved" or the gun store hadn't heard back from MSP in 7 days they could release the gun. 50 days, unbelievable.
 
Welcome from Texas bshedwick. Great forum for all things S&W, have fun, learn lots, share what you know.

Sorry to hear of your situation up there. Bought a Ruger 44 Mag carbine this morning. Took about 8 minutes from the time I filled out the form until I wrote the check.

Governments should believe in liberty.
