Once he has stopped in MD, his FOPA protection evaporates. Don't drive around with handguns in the car once you are in MD unless engaged in one of the allowed activities under MD 4-203 (range, gun shop, etc.) as Bigfoot outlined.

The question that comes to mind, was the VZ58 offered for sale in the US in 1994?
Actually the list started in 1989, not 1994. It was added to in 1994.
I found this in the Maryland Register (referencing Senate Bill 531 [1989] and House Bill 1118 [1989])- 'The House version of the bill received an unfavorable report, but the Senate version, as thus amended, was enacted as Chapter 293, Laws of Maryland 1989. The new assault weapons law, including that definition, was codified at Annotated Code of Maryland, Article 27, §481E.'
I'm curious if anyone here knows what the actual effective date (specifically, the date that marked whether ownership would have been 'grandfathered' in) was? Also, does anyone have a link to the final, enrolled bill?
Well, since the FSA2013 took affect on Oct 1, 2013, any firearm purchased before Oct 1, 2013 is grandfathered.
Thank you dblas . . . I am looking for the effective date of the 1989 law (the date in that calendar year at which ownership of any of the listed 'firearms or their copies' was grandfathered). Would it have been October 1, 1989?
. . . Best you can do is call legislative services in Annapolis and ask for a copy . . .
