The named assault long guns list is its own ban list. You could pass the copycat test with flying colors, as all AR-15s do, and still be banned because you're on the named list.
It has to direct it out of your field of view. I'm unaware of any comp or brake which can do that. Your FOV is huge, and it would take one hell of a brake to pull that stunt off.
Our Po Po's will chime in I'm sure but if your firearms are locked in the trunk (if you have a trunk) politely decline any request to search. If no trunk locked in a case in your vrhicle LE needs RAS or PC to institute a non consensual detention and you can decline a request to search your vehicle. The officer has the right to do a pat down of your person if he suspects you could be armed and a crime might be afoot.
You read it wrong. You only need the license for new handguns.
A form 1 is permission to manufacture. There's no way it would be interpreted as a purchase order, because it's not. You'd probably be OK for a form 4 as that's actually a transfer/purchase.
No one's 100% sure how that's going to work. There is still some debate as to whether this bill really covers SBRs and SBSs or not, because Maryland code seems to differentiate between the two.
Suppressors are flash hiders. They are not explicitly banned in any way. You may be constrained as to what post-ban rifles you can mount them on (ie, if it has a folding stock or grenade launcher already, no go).
Yes, the suppressor is fine.
My thinking is that this was for layaway guns.
