I purchased a handgun about 2 weeks and now in the market for an HD Defense V3 MD. Does that require a 77r app or can I purchase just like a shotgun. Wasn’t sure if I needed to wait another 30 days.
Meanwhile, why not get your Designated Collector status, and be exempt from that silly 30 day wait?
Very valid question. Even more dumb, you can buy 2 at once (i also happen to have 2 hands) , but can't buy another for 60 days...My question: why on earth is there a wait if you already own a gun?
Beware trying to purchase out of state even though the sale is legal. Saw a few Mossberg shotguns in Richmond Walmart but they refused to sell to Maryland ID holder.
There are plenty of politicians who think you buying more than one gun every 30 days shouldn’t be allowed under any circumstances, and I believe there have been several bills introduced. Personally if you have the money you should buy as much as you want!
It’s trickle down economics. You can buy a beautiful LWRCI AR15 was made right here in MD. Someone mined the aluminum and steel, a foundry worker alloyed it into bars, a worker forged the receiver, a machinist rifled the barrel and produced all of the 200 parts that make this great firearm. It’s amazing when you think of how many people it took to produce that one firearm then another few to get it to your home. If this industry had limits put upon it I guarantee the prices would skyrocket as dealers would have a hard time moving inventory and manufacturers would have a surplus and need to reduce capacity and increase costs.
Trying to cut down on straw purchases, probably.Very valid question. Even more dumb, you can buy 2 at once (i also happen to have 2 hands) , but can't buy another for 60 days...
Here is my take as soon as you get an HQL or buy your first rifle get a Designated Collector license. No more 2 gun limit every 30 days. I mean why wouldn't you it's free then after that get your C&R from the ATF for $30. C&R firearms can then be sent right to your house.
You have to have purchased a regulated firearm to get the Designated Collector status. Since there is no limit on the number of rifles you can buy per month they don't count towards the DC. Only handguns work since there are no longer any regulated rifles. If you submit a DC application without having purchased a regulated firearm the application is going to end up in the trash.
It's 1 handgun every 30 days or 2 handguns purchased at the same time and a 60 day wait.
