MD - 1 A Month Question - *PAY NOW*, TAKE POSSESSION LATER

[snick97]

Hi all,

I bought a H&K P30 on Thursday, November 6th and after the 8 day waiting period I took it home on Friday, November 14th.

I am looking at an AK-47 (MD ban certified) on gunbroker and want to know if it is okay to PAY FOR THAT today and have it transferred to my local FFL, but wait to do the paperwork until either A) 30 days or B) I hear back about my collectors application

So basically, by PURCHASE do they mean when the paperwork starts, or when you actually pay for it? Can I just have my FFL hold it until I'm clear?

Thanks everyone!!

Nick

anywhere I can call for verification? I don't know what division of the MSP

Yes, you can purchase at any time. You can not take delivery of the gun until 30 days have past. Your FFL wil simply hold the gun and have you fill the paperwork out when it gets closer to 30 days.

buy now and pay off until i get to take possession

thanks AKbythebay!

And most FFL's will not make you wait the full 30 days to fill out the paperwork. Since there's a seven day wait anyway, most will send in the paperwork at about the 3-4 week mark. Good luck.

If you are doing face to face at the MSP barracks and someone still has to wait a month, can they get the paper work in?

do the md collectors form at the MSP and buy as many guns as you want.

this one? http://www.mdsp.org/Downloads/Collector_Application_Affidavit.pdf

I've had this in for a while, I may just send it in again?

If you got this notorized and sent it in to MSPD licensing division and it's been over 6 weeks I would call them to check on the status. You may actually have your collectors status and not know it yet.

This isn't California, New York, et. al. as in Maryland does not ban features. You can get any semi-auto AK you want with anything on it. The only BAN feature I know of is that the magazine has to have a 20 rd. limit to be imported in the state.

Actually you can't transfer it (Mags with greater than 20 cap) within the state.

You can buy out of state and carry it in but you cannot take possession within the states boundaries.

As I read you post, I smiled. We are so used to dealing with these silly restrictions, we sometimes lose sight of how utterly ridiculous some of Maryland's laws are.

Maryland Law, Asinine Code 4, Section 56: "You can own or use a 30 round magazine, but can't buy or transfer it. You can only shoot it on days that end with a "y", unless it's raining, then you must spin around three times and yell "Ficus" before firing."

It's true... look it up.

 

[kalister1]

Are you sure about the days that end in "Y" ?

 

[Andras]

You can't send in the Maryland specific form until the 30 days are up, there's a question to that effect at the bottom.
