Hey guys, it has been a while since I've really posted here. I've had a lot of stuff going on with work/military/personal so "free" time hasn't really existed. That being said I wanted to check here as I could not find anything other than an empty ARFCOM thread about a disturbing story I heard today.
So I was calling a local gun shop about doing a handgun transfer for Glock-A-Day (won this year) and see about the specific details of what I needed to do to get my HQL. During the course of the conversation the subject of "MD gun laws" sparked the employee into telling me that "three people were arrested at Elk Neck for 'transferring' high capacity magazines by letting someone other than the owner shoot a firearm with a magazine over ten rounds and they will be going to jail for three years." Sounds fishy to me, which I told the employee. Then I tried searching Google, MDS, and ARFCOM for any info and came up with very little.
So other than third party scare stories is this a real thing? Did law enforcement interpret "transfer" to mean even temporarily letting another person use a weapon with a magazine in excess of ten rounds and then arrest someone for doing so?
It certainly sounded like your typical gun store lore, but I wanted to see if anyone else had heard about this and could confirm or deny.
