One gun in 30 days?

I don't quite understand the twisted reasoning behind the one gun per 30 days thing. Does anyone know the story behind that one other than it being another pointless MD law?

One of those stupid feel good laws that the idiots felt would reduce gun violence. Never mind those that use guns in crimes do not follow the laws to start with.

This was passed in the 90s (96??). Several friends decided to take it at its meaning, they bought one gun a month for quite a while.

in the stripped lower thread there are quoted email responses from MSP that says any amount of lowers can be purchased and no HQL requirement. The limit is probably an FFL deal so a single person doesnt buy their whole stock. MSP has this whole thing screwed up lol

I'm not totally sure. I saw that too, but I also saw something in the IP section. One of our IPs is treating them the way I describe above, citing MSP guidance. I'd just ask your FFL if you wanna buy 10 lowers. Everyone on this forum should be a MD designated collector. It's free. Cost you a stamp. Most banks notarized for free if you bank with them.

It's like everything else. MSP enforces and interprets the laws as they see fit. Not a bash. But if you ask 5 different troopers or call the licensing division 5 times. You will prob get 5 different answers

Not a big deal, buy 2 now, apply for your DC. Buy as many as you want when your DC comes in. And those have not been taking long these days.

BIGCHRISS197 · Jul 24, 2014

Being able to to buy 2 already contradicts the 1 regulated firearm in 30 days

No it doesn't, MD law allows you to buy 2 and then wait 60 days.

What is an acceptable response to the "Describe nature of collecting activities" on the DC form? My apologies if this has been discussed before.

Lots of info in the thread.

I forget what I put, but it was from that thread.

Had I known that I could buy 2 at once and wait 60 days then I probably would have. Oh well, too late now.

Does being a MD designated collector open you up to any potential liabilities or other legal issues? Are there any additional responsibilities?

It's not something many FFLs tend to bring up, not sure why.

"All lawful purposes."

It probably puts you on one more double-secret watch list, but otherwise, no. No downside.

They just send you a letter saying you're a collector. Nothing else.

Long ago, the "one handgun a month" law was proposed (to prevent straw purchasers from buying 2 dozen Raven .25s at a time for resale).

During the debate, it was argued that the law would hurt collectors.

Proponents of the law agreed to provide a way for collectors to get an exemption.

That's what this is: the exemption from the "one gun a month" law.

Interesting. This sounds like a law before FSA 2013 and FSA 2013 doesn't overrule it with 1 in 30? Can anyone cite the 2 in 60 law?

Wow that's a crazy long thread. Sounds like it isn't worth applying for DC status until after my first purchase goes through.

Threeband · Jul 25, 2014

I think you can apply at the same time.

Send it in. Can't hurt.

What's the worst that can happen? They shoot your dog?

They don't want to fill out the extra paperwork.

Like that did not need to be reported to MSP (77Rs) and BATFE already.

It's one extra sheet!

I thought I filled out two for my 2x lowers last Monday.

One gun in 30 days?
