MD COMAR Collection

[bobthefisher]

As we all know searching/traversing through all the Maryland firearm laws and regulations can be daunting, and confusing at best. Especially when the MD Office of the Secretary of State, chops up each chapter and section of COMAR on their website into subsequent webpages (yuck). There's a search function, but I much rather have a soft copy of all relative annotated code and regulations concerning firearms. Therefore, I generated PDF outputs of the entire chapter of the weapons regulations. MSP has graciously provided the "proposed COMAR" on their website, for proposed regulations changed after Oct 1st. However, nothing in PDF format of the permanent code. Also those are just two chapters provided by MSP, and nothing else. Below are the proposed regulations chapters from MSP (not sure if they're up-to-date), and the PDF's that I generated form the Maryland State Department website concerning the rest of the COMAR Weapons Regulations, which are up-to-date.

Thank YOU !

And, personally, my "interest" in this kind of thing stems from my experience which is it is always at some strange hour and in a hurry when I "need" this kind of thing!

 

[fidelity]

...

I'd figure I post them here. If you guys like\want this sort of thing in a readable format, then I'll post the rest of the regulations (COMAR). I also have organized subsets of annotated code (statues) of varies Public Safety, Criminal, Natural Resources Articles that apply to firearm law and ownership.

Let me know if you guys are interested in such a thing.
...

Yes, it would be enormously helpful.

Would be nice if MD state went to the effort to do this.

 

[Mr H]

Great idea there...

I wish I had the patience and focus for that sort of thing.

I think it will be enormously helpful.

 

[bobthefisher]

Cool, good to see some positive feedback. It has always pissed me off searching for these things. I also have updated digital copies of MD 77R forms and other regulatory documents in an organized fashion. I'll start updating this thread periodically if it gains interest.

Oooooooo approval Mr. H! I'm not worthy

Damn... what's the phrase....


Oh, yeah.. Bite me.



I just love it when folks do stuff like this for the community at large. If we all contribute something, then everyone's "more than none" really builds into something huge.

Crowdsourcing at its finest.

 

[bobthefisher]

That was actually pseudo genuine praise, but I'll take "bite me" as a strange and awkward compliment.

I'll finish up the Weapons Regulations (clean up MSP copies) and post them shortly. Then I'll move on to statues and other regulations.

Just for good measure I'm going to post digital copies of the updated 77R forms.

Bonus items, cool!

But, seriously, thanks. The appreciation that you receive in this thread could be months down the road when someone searches to find the info.

I like it a lot, nice job and yes, please, keep it up.
