The relevant question is 11.b, assuming it's ongoing or pending court proceedings for a felony or crime as described.
Someone please get home before me and post the question(s) from a 77R so I don't have to.
Had this problem all the time when I was a teacher. Answer the question that is asked, not the question you think you were asked.

amoebicmagician said:do you have any idea how fast the NRA lawyers would jump on that crap if you could be disallowed just for being arrested but not convicted? The police can really arrest you for whatever they want, I've seen people that have pissed them off be taken in for "failure to obey" or other such crap and then let go without charges. You are not guilty of a crime until FOUND guilty (convicted) in a court of law. To disallow everyone who was arrested but not convicted is to invalidate the entire justice system, and saying that the police are right 100% of the time regardless what the court says.
The police have jack doodley to do with you being approved (other than actually being the one to approve you), it's the COURT that has the say so- if you're convicted, you're prohibited, if you're not, have fun buying your guns because that's the same as saying the state was wrong to have arrested you in the first place.
I can see their point of view- selling guns to law abiding citizens (no offense) is already a hassle; why voluntarily give yourself an unnecessary headache?
The question is "have you ever been arrested...". Despite working out the issue with MSP, the answer is still yes.

Also, to the OP, why are you completing the Maryland 77r anyway? It sounds like you're trying to purchase an non-regulated firearm?
I mean the non reg isn't the last gun I'm buying
Plus buddy wants a handgun but his arrest was pre18 so asking for him.
Wojo said:question 5 may apply
Wojo said:geeezzzz here are the questions from my forms from a month or so ago
Thank you!
I was:
arrested -yes
Ffl - said then no
MSP-says yes
I'm basing this on what the ffls said and what I thought the form said. The fll said if you have ever been arrested then no handgun.
I come here because it seems people know what they are talking about so it does get confusing when your told differently from the place your trying to give lots of money to
