Private sales

[live2hunt266]

Just moved back to Maryland and I'm confused are private sales still legal or not searching the internet is contradictory as far as non regulated long guns

 

[scottyfz6]

Nope all firearms have to be transferred thru an FFL or the state police if regulated ( ffl can do it as well. )

Private sales are still legal, but as noted above the actual transfer has to take place through an FFL.

 

[John from MD]

All modern firearms need to go through a background check. I don't believe the State Police will do long guns.

Only exception is for transfers of long-guns to a direct family member (as defined by law)... those do not have to go through an FFL.

 

[IronEye]

Immediate family are exempt. As are transfers of a C&R eligible firearm between FFL-03 C&R licensees.

Applicable Maryland law is section 5-201.

 

[Doctor_M]

And because someone will ask... Immediate family members as defined:

5–201.
IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBER” MEANS A SPOUSE, A PARENT, A STEPPARENT, A GRANDPARENT, A STEPGRANDPARENT, AN AUNT, AN UNCLE, A SIBLING, A STEPSIBLING, A CHILD, A STEPCHILD, A GRANDCHILD, A STEPGRANDCHILD, A NIECE, OR A NEPHEW, AS RELATED BY BLOOD OR MARRIAGE.

Hypothetical question for the brain trust:

A VA resident wants to gift a restricted weapon, (RW) to a MD resident using a MD FFL for the transaction. Would it be easier for the MD resident to buy the RW for $1 or accept the gift, or does it not matter what is paid or not paid for RW?

Disagree

Private is private, i. e. no paperwork

Price doesn't matter

FFL charges his vigorish, and State fee is I think $10

Private as in the Buyer and Seller private parties - i.e. are not FFLs.

Long guns only, NOT C&R handguns (unfortunately).

If a tree falls in the woods and there's nobody there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Wheel gun aka revolver falls into the "restricted" weapons catagory in MD. BTW, MD resident has HQL.

Thanks. Was not sure if this was an issue or not like it is with motor vehicles.

Doesn't make a difference if it's a gift or the MD resident pays $1.

That's true if the transfer occurs in MD and therefore it's an intrastate, not interstate, transfer. Go to another state, and your Federal FFL03 C&R is perfectly legal for a private party transfer of a C&R handgun. Maryland's writ applies only to actions occurring in MD. Of course you do need to be compliant compliant with the laws of the state you are actually in, and Federal law, for the transaction.

Doesn’t the MD law exempt FFL03s for all long guns, not just C&Rs, because of the way state law defines “dealer’s license” and “licensee?”

MD and feds don’t care about whether it’s sold or gifted. They regulate transfers, not sales, in that case.
