Rifles: Moving to Baltimore

tomrkba · Jan 23, 2017

Hi all!

I've done a bit of research on Maryland's gun laws and am a bit confused about a few things. Apparently this is normal due to badly written laws.

I live in Virginia and know that Maryland's gun laws suck. I know that Baltimore is worse (I call it "Bowelmore"). I have many "goodies" that will stay in Virginia for the year that I am in the state. Here is the scenario:

I have a bunch of scary, FemiMan pants wetting rifles. I even have a Ruger 10/22 -- the "22 dead for 10 shots" variant. :innocent0

1) What are the requirements to bring an AR-15 rifle owned for at least a decade?

2) I have a brand new AR-10 rifle I got this year. Any problems?

3) I have a box of standard, unneutered, non-Feminist Man-Child AR-15magazines. I plan to bring in **a few** for personal use only. I will not transfer them to anyone. Are there any possession and use restrictions in Maryland and/or Baltimore?

4) I will have a bolt action rifle that will accept AR-15 magazines. What are the requirements for that?

5) What are the restrictions on shotguns? I will probably acquire a Mossberg 590 with 20" barrel and nine round capacity.

Thanks everyone!

DO NOT TELL ME HOW MUCH MARYLAND SUCKS. I LIVE IN VIRGINIA AND AM FULLY AWARE OF WHAT I AM DOING. DO NOT CLUTTER UP THIS THREAD WITH WHINING. I AM GOING REGARDLESS OF YOUR OPINION. PLEASE JUST ANSWER THE QUESTIONS!

4) I will have a bolt action rifle that will accept AR-15 magazines. What are the requirements for that? Nothing special.

5) What are the restrictions on shotguns? I will probably acquire a Mossberg 590 with 20" barrel and nine round capacity. There are a few, but not many. Mossberg should be OK. Semi auto with folding stock or street sweeper style are a problem

Thanks everyone!

Do realize, that if you move to MD, unless you are active duty military or full time student, you will need to establish MD residency, and register all your handguns and scary black rifles (see MD banned list).

As long as you owned the AR-15 prior to October 2013, it is fine to bring it, but you will have to register it with State Police. Everything else is fine to bring with you and you don't have to tell anyone about them.

Maryland sucks. I wouldn't move here if I was you.

YOU DIDN'T FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!

YOU'RE NAUGHTY!

You beat me to it.

OP...just see above re AR. Everything else is cool.

Oversimplified so far, still more variables:

Is the pre-2013 AR-15 HBAR or not HBAR ?

If HBAR , bring it with you, no registration required.

If not HBAR , AND ownered by YOU pre-Oct 13, bring it with you, register it in same manner as your handguns.

Special bonus, change bbl or upper to HBAR before you move, see answer for HBAR.

I put the instruction there because I gave up on the moving to md sticky. 3/4 of it was whining. I just want the rules.
