Was theirs ONLY adjacent states?

Yes, Colorado had a law on the books preventing a Colorado resident from buying long guns in states not adjacent to Colorado. So for example I could buy in Kansas, but not in Missouri. The Colorado Legislature passed a bill removing that law, and the Governor signed it (not that the Democrats had much choice, they burned alot of bridges last year in Colorado and were trying to get people to forget that, we haven't) and the law went into effect 1 August 2014.
Now I am also Active Duty and stationed here in MD, but I am still a resident of Colorado (Driver's License, Voting registration, property taxes are Colorado, and in particular El Paso county). In theory I could use my Colorado ID now to buy in long guns in PA, DE, or VA. I just could not bring any banned long guns I purchased into the state. Which is fine, I already have weapons stored in PA in a secure location. I would just add those to them.

OK, so CO law was strange, and survived since FOPA in 1986. Heck, even MD law on the subject is permissive (can buy in adjacent states) but not restrictive (did not limit to only adjacent states).

And with your CO credentials, when you buy in PA or any other state, the sale must, by Federal law, conform to the laws of the state you are buying in AND your state of residence. So you cannot buy a long gun that is banned in CO legally in PA or another state.

If you were stationed in PA, you could use your ID card and orders to buy anything legal in PA. But being stationed in MD, that would still run you up against the banned firearm problem.

*grin* I will point out there are no banned firearms in Colorado, we got hit with a mag limit ban (much worse than Maryland's, we can't bring them into the state legally unless we owned them before the ban.)

Only Chinese dragonuv rifles are banned. Get a Russian one instead. AK banned in all formats probably includes RPKs, DMR type marksman rifles, shotguns and pistols.

OK, then you are good to buy in PA, just don't bring any of those evil, nasty guns into MD.

At least for now, I understand that CO is going libtard due to all the CA nuts moving in.

*sigh* Yeah, well we are fighting back, recalled 2 of them and forced a third to resign.

That's what happens when the "rest" of the state still outnumbers the parts that have gone stupid, unlike here.

Hopefully what they did in CO sent a message.

Where are you located? If near PA call The Gun Bunker and see if they are OK with transferring it. They are pretty up on MD laws but every once in awhile they get bad info from one of the MD FFLs they consult with, like The Bank and Blue Fins. Both of who told them my Colt 5951 MM was not legal. Got it straitened out though. God guys to deal with. They are in Shrewsbury, first exit off 83.
