How about VA? It is not a state, it is a Commonwealth.

Once again said OOS former LEO can own , use , and carry std cap mags just like the rest of us. They just have to run to the Border to purchase them , like the rest of the peons.

With all due respect I completely agree with the ruling. Why should out of state LEO's (read OOS residents) be exempt from the laws of this state? If it applies to the resident in state common folk, it should also apply to any OOS resident.

The point was more for MD residents, who are LE for OOS.
A VA or DC or PA officer, living in MD.
A VA or DC or PA officer, living in MD.
God forbid. That would mean some sort of reciprocity and who knows what would follow.

The whole thing is a non-issue if the OOS LE's obtain their magazines from another state.
Well, that's not really an issue. The issue is how should a MD resident OOS LEO be different than one who lives in the state? It boils down to just residency for some reason.
Strongly disagree based upon this gem from the Roberts' court.
Basically one possible outcome is "the state" doesnt mean specific.
It was predicted such a ruling would have unintended consequences far and wide.
IANAL, but Id love to hear speculation for one of the legal eagles here of the effect of the SCOTUS ruling vs this issue and the MD law...
Well one law was written by the state and not the Feds and so references to the state might refer to only the state that wrote it, MD. The Federal law might apply to any state.
just a guess.
just a guess.
How should any resident of the state be different in the eyes of law based upon their occupation?
Looks the same: its just about protected classes
What happened to equality under the law?
Laws crafted with inequality in mind are counter to what COTUS is about IMHO...
It boils down to place of work, not residency. If they live OOS but work for, say, the MSP, they'd be good to go.
Question
I'm just curious, kind of off topic, how does this work in practice? Let's say your an LE or retired LE from Anytown, Maryland...you drive over to your favorite FFL and they can sell you 10+ round magazines. How does the FFL usually validate the person is or was retired LE? I assume there is no duty to actually use the magazine in some official capacity since this is open to retired LEs.

99% of retired police officers now get credentials stamped! marked, or otherwise noting, "Retired in Good Standing." This stems from LEOSA and it's nationwide carry provision for such retired officers.
That is how gun dealers verify the buyer's status.
And yes, we can sell LEOs and retired LEOs 100 round drums and 30 round AR mags, any mag for that matter, all day long, no official use requirement.
Thank you, A1Uniform. I appreciate the info.
