Synopsis: Altering the definition of handgun for purposes of provisions relating to the Handgun Roster Board to exclude a shotgun, a rifle, a short-barreled rifle, a short-barreled shotgun, or an antique firearm from the definition.
Right, I don't understand what that has to do with "saying goodbye to AK SBRs."
So an SBR or SBS does not have to be on the roster on 10/1/2015. They're still handguns for the 77r requirement and criminal law sections. I don't understand the comment.
Criminal law is for use in a crime.
Public safety governs sale.
Should we be buying AK pistols and filing the Form 1 or purchasing an SBR'ed AK pistol before the deadline if we were ever planning on getting one?
Of course, there is always cheeking the Sig Brace
Except the provisions of MD law regarding the entirety of the Assault Long Gun, Assault Pistol, and Copycat bans are in Criminal Law § 4.
Still, this law does not change PS § 5-101 definition of Handgun, which is any firearm with a barrel less than 16" in length.
Once SBRs come off of the definition of handgun, and are no longer under the purview of the HRB, then SBRs go back to the copies requirement (AK are banned by name and thus an AK SBR will then be banned (again)), as well as the copy cat requirement (which applied anyway)
It will be interesting to see what MSP does with this.
I'm very interested in dan's interpretation and why he would think so. I would say no, it will get easier after October 1 for Form 4 SBR/SBSs.
So, at the risk of sounding like an idiot (and being admittedly confused), does this have anything to do with being able to sbr to less than 29"? If not, where do we stand on that?
Well, it helped us for the roster. A different definition is used for other parts of MD law.This is the question I have too. Although on the surface, I would agree with Nate and Erwos that removing "SBR and SBS" from the handgun definition is a step in the right direction.
