So some background first. I'm 19, in college, and live in Indiana. I have my carry permit and I'll be getting a handgun (under the 10 round limit). This summer I'll be working in Maryland at an internship for about 70-77 days.
I'd like to bring my handgun and some ammo for my apartment solely for defense in my apartment, I'm fine with not having a Maryland carry permit. I want to know if it's legal for my to have my handgun with me.
While in most cases it looks like you need to be 21, here it says in section 5-133 subsection d number iv, that a person under 21 can use a regulated firearm (ie handgun) if:
I don't want to inadvertently break the strict gun laws in Maryland, but I also want to protect myself if the need arises.
Also is it illegal to bring in the handgun in state because it was purchased after October 1st 2013 (it's RIA 1911A1 .45ACP 8 round mag)?
Thanks for all comments and replies.
If necessary, I'll just bring my Remington 870, but handguns are easier to transport.

So does this mean I can have it with me solely for self defense purposes, or does it mean when legally owned by someone over 21, that someone under 21 can use it when there's a break-in?the possession of a firearm for self–defense or the defense of others against a trespasser into the residence of the person in possession or into a residence in which the person in possession is an invited guest.
