This is a fun topic. Devil Dog is not wrong when he makes the distinction that he does.



BUT! Our overlords at the MDGA do clarify this (and pretty much only this):



If you have an assault long gun ("copy"), it cannot become a copycat weapon by definition. This is how the MSP interpret things, too, to my knowledge.

Very cool. Which suppressor did you match with it? When they are taken off the NFA list, this may be my first purchase.

With a handgun I can only go to and from my destination. No stopping anywhere unrelated to the transportation of the handgun. Plus even if within the law. Anything related to a handgun and traffic stop will most likely get me a cavity search. Just because. MD. No thanks.

No, the big thing is you can only transport between residence(s), range, and gun shop. So unless you are going to one of these, you are not within the MD transport law.

And I don't think FOPA covers VA through MD back to VA.

And it is not true that you cannot stop anywhere. You can. But if you stop for lunch in Frederick, when traveling from Glen Burnie to Annapolis, you might have some explaining to do.

According to the AG opinion, MD law covers trips that BOTH start and end in MD. Extrapolating that, an origin or destination not in MD means FOPA applies.
