If you get the HQL, you are in the system. If you are going to be in it, why not choose the cheapest way to get there?
You can keep your secret handguns secret if you follow my option: buy a C&R eligible handgun, and use that one to establish exemption. Since you'd be buying in on a Form 77r, with the 7 day wait, it would be "registered": in their system anyway.
If you don't really want the C&R pistol, you can sell it later, perhaps at a higher price. Collectibles hold their value better than new production guns, and may be good investments.
Just buy a stripped AR15 lower. No HQL needed. Once it has been transferred to you it can be use as the exemption.
Can't you do an online Texas hunter safety course?
I guess I could but is it necessary for me to do that if I already bought the lower for an ar pistol build last week?
I moved to MD a few months back and registered my CZ with MSP. Does the registration of the pistol exempt me from the HQL?
If I were to walk into an LGS, besides proof of residency, are there any other requirements?

Or purchase a C&R handgun out of MD, have it shipped to you and use that. No 77 required
