Thanks everyone in advance and please forgive any ignorance, I'm new to this lol. Also my bad for any spelling mistakes I am currently in a guard tower in an undisclosed country. I'm making money hand over feet over this deployment and was planning on buying atleast one firearm up my return.
I grew up in MD in a family of non gun owners, although I have always been very supportive of second amendment rights. Since jointing the army have fell in love with firearms and want to own some since my job is centered around firearms. I joined the army at 18 (I'm now 19), I know that limits my options as far as outright gun ownership but I have a father that would likey put the weapons in his name and maintain them for me after I give him a class or two on the subject.
I plan on buying an ak47 or m1a when I get back, and some of my questions are as follows: - are these weapons legal to own in MD?
-are they legal to buy in MD, and of not would it be kosher to buy them in PA or VA and bring them into MD?
-what steps would I have to take paperwork wise to make sure everything is legal? I don't want to get a message from my chain of command asking why there's illegal weapons in my house back in MD.
- what kind of holes are there to jump through as far as my dad passing on ownership to me when I turn 21?
- since I'm in the military, do any laws change? I carry around an otherwise illegal sprig loaded knife while I'm home on leave and have been told that it's fine cause I'm in the Army (if it's not, shhh).
- what precautions do I have to take in terms of gun storage in the house do I have to take (safes, etc)? My family lives in Baltimore county if that matters at all.
-if I change my state if residence to TX (where I'm stationed) in irder to avoid state taxes, does that change gun ownership stipulations in MD? I would keep the guns in TX but gun laws in the army rival those of nazi germany if you live in the barracks.
-is gunbroker.com reputable? I found some pretty sweet deals on there but don't want to end up with my identity stolen or some shit.
Again thanks in advance for the help. I know I could probably find these things out on my own but If rather skip over the legal texts and ask a community of knowledgeable people about this. Also feel free to include any information I might find useful apart from my questions.
P.S. Save the thank you for your service stuff. The thoughts are awfully nice but I haven't earned that. Save it for the guys who have lost their lives and their minds to war. GOD bless.
