Vendor Registration Form 2013: Fill & Download for Free

Let me tell you some details about this shooting that the media is deliberately leaving out. They are leaving them out because it would change the whole narrative on pushing gun control and make a lot of people go, “Hmmm…”.The shooter was a 24-year-old male. The year is 2018. These values are important. Because 21 is the minimum age to purchase a handgun in the state of Maryland as well as being Federal law.So the earliest this tool could have bought a gun is in 2015.In 2013, Maryland passed the Firearm Safety Act (FSA 2013). This law went into effect October of that year. This law radically changed the gun purchase and ownership landscape in Maryland as a reaction to Sandy Hook. None of which would address Sandy Hook but, hey, never let a crisis go to waste.The most notable change was the institution of a permit-to-purchase for handguns. It was sold as a crime reduction measure for Baltimore. This means after October 2013 you can no longer walk into a gun shop in Maryland and buy a handgun by simply filling out a form.Before the FSA, Maryland had already banned private sales of handguns requiring them to go through a dealer (universal background check) and all handgun sales were subject to an 8 day waiting period, the guns were registered with the State Police and you could only buy 1 handgun every 30 days unless you are a designated collector in the state. Also, Maryland has a Handgun Roster of “safe” handguns ensuring only approved models are sold in the state.So Maryland already had most of gun control’s vaunted laws for public safety and reducing crime and so-called gun violence. Then the FSA came along and added what follows.A permit is required to purchase a handgun called the “Handgun Qualification License” (HQL). This permit is issued by the State Police and is good for 10 years.To get an HQL, you must first attend a State Police approved training class at your expense and it must include a live fire component. Military, law enforcement and previous owners of certain guns that required training are exempt. That class will run between $150 and $300 and take between 8 and 16 hours.Then you must be fingerprinted. Only electronic submissions are accepted and only from designated vendors the State Police accepts. Again, at your expense. The cost is typically between $50 and $80. Once taken you must submit your application within 72 hours or you must get the fingerprints again.Then you must fill in your HQL application. It can only be done online (no paper forms) and you must pay the fee of $50 via credit or debit card (no cash or checks). There’s a lawsuit going on right now about this denial of rights based on banking ability and access to a computer. You provide your proof of training and fingerprint information at this time.Once submitted the application takes around 20 to 40 days to approve. There is no statutory processing time mandated meaning the state could end handgun sales in Maryland by simply never processing the applications.After all of this, you finally receive a card in the mail that gives you permission to buy a handgun in Maryland. It costs you $250 to $400, takes around two months and enables you to now fill out the form that you filled out before the FSA along with all of the prior restrictions that were in place that the HQL did not rescind. You have a license, training and fingerprinting but you still have to wait 8 days to take possession of your handgun because they still don’t trust you to snap.Oh, as a cherry on top, Maryland introduced Form 77R as part of this process. This form is new and is a medical waiver allowing the state to do a full check of any medical records in your name. You must waive your HIPAA rights as part of this process and it is required for every single handgun purchase. You cannot opt out.So what all this means is the Jacksonville shooter, being a Baltimore resident, was subject to ALL of these restrictions to buy his two handguns! Let us summarize the list of gun control laws that were in effect to stop him from shooting innocent people as all of these laws were sold as “public safety”:Mandatory license to purchase a handgun.Fingerprints required to get the license.Mandated training with live fire to get the license.Full background check to get the license including a mental health check.Waive your HIPPA and privacy rights to make sure you aren’t dangerous or mentally ill as part of the background check.8 day waiting period before you can take possession of the handgun.Registration of the handgun with the state.One gun per month.Only state-approved handguns can be purchased.Universal background checks for all handgun purchases.Our shooter jumped through every single hoop including a literal wish list of every desired gun control law we are told we need. They sold these laws as intended to prevent these very types of crime from happening!And this was just to get his guns! Let’s summarize the additional Florida State laws he violated:Carried a concealed firearm without a concealed carry permit.Carriage of a firearm into a designated “no guns” property.And, of course, the unlawful shooting of several people in violation of all of these laws.The only law he might have followed is the transport of his firearms interstate between Maryland and Florida. So he gets a pass on this one.Is it any wonder the media isn’t talking a lot about this shooting to push the gun control narrative? If they did people would start to learn these facts and really begin to question what is going on. In this case when uncomfortable truths exist the media ignores and slides the incident aside. Can’t have people knowing about strict gun control laws and hearing they were followed to the letter. Can’t push the “lax Florida gun laws” narrative when the shooter was from Maryland, a poster child for gun control.Who to blame is the shooter. But gun control won’t tell you that but also won’t talk about it lest they get blamed too!

We often get this question asked by newly formed startups over at LawTrades.Assuming your idea is patentable, there are are critical things to ponder when deciding if you should invest the tremendous sums of money patent registration - and enforcement - requires. An established company has the resources to evaluate its markets and customers. Moreover,they have existing distribution channels that startups lack. Although many claim it is wise to register for a patent to deter imitators, the truth is that large companies regularly prevail when challenged in court. Therefore, a patent’s value as a sword or shield is debatable.For bootstrapping tech startups, there are alternative, cost-effective routes that can provide relatively robust intellectual property (IP) protection. Confidentiality agreements and trade secret protection can work just as well as costly patent registration, especially when combined with exceptional innovation design and speed. All employees, board members and advisors should be required to sign agreements obligating them to assign all business-related IP to the startup. You will also want to extend IP protection through agreements with non-employees, including vendors. outsourced designers, consultants, engineers, and even customers.With all of that said, patents can offer a tech startup many benefits. It can attract investors and deter some competitors. After all, investors like to know that your business idea has something to hang its hat on. A startup with patent protection becomes more valuable to companies interested in forming a joint venture or making an acquisition as well. A startup has the ability to license its patent and, which gives the company another option to generate funding while expanding its market simultaneously.In order to address the high costs, mounting litigation and general burdens associated with patent registration, the America Invents Act (AIA) was signed into law in September 2012. The AIA is the most noteworthy change to U.S. Patent law in close to 60 years. Significantly, the law changed U.S. patent rights from first-to-invent to first-to-file for applications filed on or after March 16, 2013. The new law also expanded the definition of “prior art,” which really helps first-to-file patent applicants. This law can be a game-changer for tech startups. Whether your IP assets are assets that should be protected with patent registration or with other strategies can best be determined with the assistance of an experienced IP attorney.We at LawTrades help clients navigate the maze of requirements, as well as select the route that makes the most sense - whether it’s a regular utility or provisional patent, or trade secret protection. It can be daunting, no doubt, but an experienced attorney can save you lots of money and time, while helping you to add value to your company. Innovation in the legal marketplace is no doubt occurring, but not fast enough to help the person or business that needs immediate legal assistance at a price they can afford. Again, LawTrades was established to meet these needs by providing fast, effective and economical solutions. Hope that clears things up a bit. Feel free to message me directly to chat further about any other IP questions that you face.
