Now, that's a helpful post.
I pulled out my letter and it indeed only states the ability to buy more than one regulated firearm in a 30 day period.
So, I have no idea where I got the "transport for exhibition" exemption idea, but I know I've read it and evidently I'm not the only one. Anyone know where that came from?

I have read that somewhere as well. Thats why I asked.

A myth has perpetuated that "as a collector" you can travel and show people your "collection." The DC letter ONLY allows you to purchase more than one regulated firearm in a 30 day period in the state of MD. I think the phrase "bona fide collector", which is not defined, has also floated around.

See? It was helpful. It got you to pull out the letter and actually read it!

Sounds like an easy lawsuit to win. Is the entire bill of rights prohibited in your building?
And the question at hand is where did that "myth" come from and is there some other instrument that allows it, or is it something someone here just made up and got repeated and believed.
I read it before your post.

Heheh, I hear ya. If it was JUST the building, I might raise a stink.
My wife is super sensitive to chemicals (especially the ones used to clean after Range Time - we know those chemicals trigger horrible asthma episodes) and she really does not care for being around firearms.
She knows it IS important to me...so she indulges all my purchases without so much as a peep. Ever.

Maryland Code, Criminal Law 4-203
. . .
(b) This section does not prohibit:
. . .
(5) the moving by a bona fide gun collector of part or all of the collector’s gun collection from place to place for public or private exhibition if each handgun is unloaded and carried in an enclosed case or an enclosed holster;
. . . So saith Maryland COMAR

Many thanks.

Major Deplorable
many thanks as well BOB A. This helps answer my original post as well.
I wonder how many guns a court would consider a "collection", and how many more it would take to constitute an "arsenal"?

Now define "bona fide collector". This has nothing to do with designated collector. The DC letter has one sole purpose and creating a special transportation clause isn't it.
Until a court decides the legal definition of Bona Fide as used in statute 4-203 using that as a defense for transporting a handgun to a non allowed location remains a dicey proposition IMO.
The statute only applies to handguns and long guns defined as handguns ie. SBR or SBS
IANAL

Legal definitions aren't necessarily the same as what is in everyday use. However, with that in mind, the actual definitions are quite different.
Designate would equate to assigning a status while bona fide is something that already is.
Bona Fide: genuine; real.
"only bona fide members of the company are allowed to use the logo"
synonyms: authentic, genuine, real, true, actual, sterling, sound, legal, legitimate, lawful, valid, unadulterated, unalloyed, proper, straight, fair and square; informal honest-to-goodness, legit, pukka, on the level, the real McCoy
"each partner is entitled to an indemnity for all bona fide expenses"
Designated:appoint (someone) to a specified position.
"he was designated as prime minister"
synonyms: appoint, nominate, depute, delegate; select, choose, pick, decide on, settle on; elect, name, identify, assign, allot, co-opt, ordain, induct; informal plump for
"some organizations designate a press officer within the PR office"
officially assign a specified status or ascribe a specified name or quality to.
"certain schools are designated “science schools”"
synonyms: classify, class, pronounce, label, tag; name, call, entitle, term, christen, dub, style, brand; formaldenominate
"a few of the rivers are designated “Sites of Special Scientific Interest”"
signify; indicate.
"the term “brainstem” designates the medulla, pons, and mesencephalon"

What is in question is if the Designation by MSP makes you Bona Fide according to the wording in 4-203
The court will have to answer that absent a definition in the statute
