I'm sorry, I'm sure this question has been asked more than someone can count but yet I still cannot track down my answer. I am asking because I bought an AR online and even though I reminded them twice, they mailed a 30 round mag to my FFL. So my FFL said he would mail it to someone in another state and I could go pick it up there and bring back to MD. So my friend in VA wants to be sure everything is legit and I him my understanding of the law,by reading posts and word of mouth, is that it is perfectly legal to go out of state and buy or receive a 20+ magazine and then bring it back into MD. But in reading the code, I was curious as to how that can be shown.
So the wording is:
(a) This section does not apply to a .22 caliber rifle with a tubular magazine.
(b) A person may not manufacture, sell, offer for sale, purchase, receive, or transfer a detachable magazine that has a capacity of more than 20 rounds of ammunition for a firearm.
Obviously it doesn't mention possession but it does mention 'transfer'. Why is the act of bringing a 20+ mag into MD not considered transfer?
Thanks again.
