First off, I moved here from Commiefornia eight years ago. When I lived there I was active on the CA version of MDS, CalGuns.
This is important to mention because in the eight years hence CA and MD have traded places as far as 2A rights.
For instance, in CA it is illegal to carry a handgun in your car for any illegal purpose(self defense is legal). In MD it is illegal all the time except for specific things (going to a competitive shooting even, displaying your collection, etc)
Currently, due to the fact that county sheriffs are responsible for granting CCWs, and some are pro 2A, it is much MUCH easier to get a CCW in CA than MD. Some of the sherriffs see "self defense" and "constitutionally protected right" as good and substantial reasons for issue.
CA and MD both have a moritorium on assault weapons(whatever those are), except CA never banned clones. In fact, with the proper cosmetic modifications, you can own a pencil/GI barrel AR in CA, as long as it is featureless.
In fact, the only thing that MD does better than CA at is ownership of standard capacity magazines, and purchasing ammunition.
Pathetic.
