Blame the MGA and 310 years of contradictory and incomprehensible gun laws.I wish the site for checking on gun laws wasn't so hard to navigate.
2A MD does a pretty good attempt, but I think Beebs is saying exactly what you are saying ... navigating it isn't all on one website, book or class: navigating all of MD's gun laws is near impossibleI'm not aware of any one site that has all of the Maryland State firearms laws. What are you talking about?
Thanks for clarifying.
Yet another way the MSP, MGA, Feds make it confusing to know every detail of the ever changing laws.
I wasn't sure, especially when they were trying to make it a crime to "transfer" your shotgun, 30-30 etc to your son, buddy etc to go hunting unless you went to an FFL to go through paperwork etc.
Same with , Or to let your wife use your .380 to practice with at the range, kill a perp in the house etc.
I just thought and apparently mistakenly so, that on the 77R and other forms, that question about is the purchaser buying the gun for themselves, as in if you say NO, it gets the flag as a straw purchase and is disallowed.
************** Disclaimer, NO one take my details on law as accurate, as can be seen in my statements above***********
I get the gist of things, and when in doubt, I answer 100% in the person of ME, Myself and I. In other words, my answer is I ALWAYS am buying a gun for myself. Which of course is true 100% of the time. No other person's possession or transfer future use without a proper FFL transfer, is my intention for any purchase I make.
From the MSP website:rseymorejr, and anyone else.
In regards to "buying a gun for someone else"
If I were to see a long or hand gun in a store and wanted to buy it for someone else, wife, nephew, sis, friend, etc.
How would I legally do so as far as the paperwork goes? It has been said above, that it is not a straw purchase as long as the owner to be is not prohibited. Well, how does MSP etc verify this? Would I need to bring the recipient in and he, she, them need to show proof of HQL, pass the 77R and 4473 etc?
Fill in the missing pieces for me on how I could legally buy a weapon for someone else if I wanted to do so.
The handgun has to be a C&R as defined by Federal law, 50 years old is one stipulation and there are a few other situations where it can also be a C&R.So, don't have an HQL and don't want one. I have a spotless record and I'm not prohibited Can I buy, in Maryland, a handgun that is 50+ years old?
It is all in one website, Lexis Nexis has the entire Maryland State Statute and currently updated. People are either too lazy to use it and want to spoon fed, or they don't know how to use it and too afraid to ask.2A MD does a pretty good attempt, but I think Beebs is saying exactly what you are saying ... navigating it isn't all on one website, book or class: navigating all of MD's gun laws is near impossible

They are also available at the Maryland General Assembly's website, albeit not in such a nice indexed order like LexisNexis.It is all in one website, Lexis Nexis has the entire Maryland State Statute and currently updated.

It's very easy to navigate and actually look up the actual state statutes, instead of taking what a gunshop tells you as fact, when in fact it is complete BS.
I prefer LexisNexis, because it does away with all of the strikethrough/bold/italics BS from the MGA website.They are also available at the Maryland General Assembly's website, albeit not in such a nice indexed order like LexisNexis.
There is no strikethrough, etc. at the MGA website.I prefer LexisNexis, because it does away with all of the strikethrough/bold/italics BS from the MGA website.
LexisNexis is also the source that the MGA and the bill writers use when looking at existing Maryland State Statutes.
