MD penalty for charge of carrying without a licensese

[myright]

I do not. But can anyone help me cite the penalty of CC of a handgun with out a license?

I have heard of some one(in other states) who would carry a firearm without a state license but carried a low capacity magazine.(The magazine capacity) being a federal charge and the state being a misdemeanor.

I know this is Marylandstan.

 

[The sphinx]

The magazine being a federal charge??

Instant prohibited person.

yeah, what?

There is no mag restriction in like 42 states or something, and I don't think federal vs state is what you're thinking so much as misdemeanor vs felony.

And now I feel stupid that I even responded.

However if you're a career criminal then the gun charges would automatically be dropped, and your other charges would be pleaded down to misdemeanors and you're out on time served and no fine. Us law abiding citizens that simply want to have the option to protect ourselves against these career criminals....see the above post and read the rest of the line after 'NOT EXCEEDING' and that's what you'll likely get.

Obv we are not lawyers, and I'm sure you are right - but I don't see where it says instant prohibited person. Does it have to do with the length of prison time or something? Also it is true that it is a midemeanor from what I am reading?

Yes, maximum penalty (if charged with the crime, not plead) makes the person prohibited. Read the federal form 4473, question 11c.

Ah ok makes sense. So you would become prohibited in Maryland - or do you become a federally prohibited person ? Sounds like federally ?

Federally as well.

4473 applies to entire country. 77R is MD.
