Hi folks. New here so not entirely sure if this is the right forum. Anyway, I’m new to the region and a potential first time gun owner so I’m very unfamiliar with the regulations here or anywhere.
That said, is there any legal way to own a fully automatic Thompson sub machine gun in Maryland with the traditional shorter barrel that is not one of the insanely expensive originals?
My understanding is that Kahr is the current manufacturer, makes them semi-auto (possible and legal for a smith to convert?), and makes them with the original shorter barrel or the (in my opinion silly-looking) longer barrel but that SBRs are more tightly regulated/restricted. Is there a way to legally own a SBR in Maryland?
It sounds like the way to go with full auto is getting an FFL? Then I guess it comes down to conversion and SBR? As much as I love sticking it to the man, I don’t intend to go breaking any firearms regulations so any advice is appreciated. Many thanks!
