    People will spend more time and effort trying to find a loophole to make something illegal legal then they are willing spend trying to get the law changed.

    Wow! How many times has this topic and it's variations been discussed?

    And this kinda person is why I have less than 100 posts a year... if I cant find something with the forum search then I guess I'm just out of luck because I should assume its going to annoy this guy and not post... smh

    Think we have enough enemies outside the 2a supporters in MD without having to tear each other down by saying "wow this guys an idiot for FORCING me to not only read this thread but post in here about how stupid he is for making a re-post"

    rant over

    Think the problem would be as stated that you are claiming your home is at your Dads when you are a Md resident. FFL would need photo identification showing where you reside and you would be signing the 4473 stating that. Believe me I have been thru all that as my Home of Record is in Pa. and my Dad still lives there. When I retired from the military in Md I could not keep or renew my Pa. License and had to obtain a Md drivers license showing proof of residence. Nothing to keep you from taking your Dad to the FFL and him buying it in his name for you to keep there and use when you come to visit. Good luck, don't want a midnight visit by the men-in-black.

    THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    It is a violation of Federal law for the FFL to sell it to you. And a violation of Federal law for you to purchase it.

    And if you tell the FFL you are on Ohio resident on the 4473, you can add the charge of falsifying a Federal document.

    These false statements or representations are punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and up to 10 years in prison

    So if you want to 1) spend up to 10 years as the girl friend of Bubba, and 2) lose your right to ever own a firearm again, and 3) have all your currently owned firearms possibly confiscated, GO FOR IT.

    If he gives his father money to buy it for him, it COULD be a straw purchase and end up with BOTH of them in prison.

    If his father buys it, and lets him shoot it when he visits, that is OK.

    It would be a violation for the FFL as well, and that is why many dealers, businesses, etc choose to not deal with Maryland residents.

    Lots of post here about C&R guys not selling to Maryland, even though the transaction would be okay.

    It's hard for an FFL to know the laws of all 50 states and I'm sure many FFLs go by the mantra "I can sell you anything but a handgun" to out of state residents, as often that would be true.

    18" barrel is still shorter than 29"

    They do have some that have a pinned and welded muzzle device to bring them up to 29" for MD.
