AIUI...
It simply means that the LEA (SD) in that county is not going out of their way to infringe upon the 2A rights of the people.

It does NOT mean they are not going to arrest an individual who goes out of their way to be confrontational... or violate other laws.

Nor does it mean that another LEA with jurisdictional authority in said county... won’t enforce the laws as written.

Folks in those counties must exercise ALL due care and caution, take NO unnecessary risks, and realize that a courtesy it’s being offered to those who do not press the issue. That courtesy being... “We are not going to actively pursue cases against everyone who otherwise behaves themselves.” But if someone forces their hand... they can expect the lawful charges to be added to their case as the SA deems necessary.

IANAL

Nailed it!

tl;dr: Civil right virtue signaling in MD.

Ok - but transferring an AK47 in a sanctuary county like Carroll for example. Or selling high capacity magazines, how would that be dealt with in a 2A sanctuary?

in a 2a sanctuary in MD or in VA, pretty sure the FFL's are still going to follow state rules, so if the firearm isn't legal in the state (or a hicap mag etc), they're not going to transfer it to you, 2a sanctuary county or not.

my understanding is that, if in a sanctuary county, a LEO catches you with a banned firearm (or mag), they most likely won't throw you in jail. but i sure as heck wouldn't go around flaunting your ownership

Back when Carroll did it, the state's atty at the time said he would have lots of leeway & discretion as far as prosecuting anti 2A crimes.
