300 AAC and 5.56 AR 15s Are "Interchangeable" Fact or Fiction

No, they are handguns when it comes to Maryland Criminal Law title 4, subtitle 2.

Where does the code state that the definition of SBR in Md Code CR 4-201 applies to MD Code Public Safety 5-101?

§4–201.
(a) In this subtitle the following words have the meanings indicated.
(b) “Antique firearm” means:
(1) a firearm, including a firearm with a matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar ignition system, manufactured before 1899; or
(2) a replica of a firearm described in item (1) of this subsection that:
(i) is not designed or redesigned to use rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition; or
(ii) uses rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition that is no longer manufactured in the United States and is not readily available in the ordinary channels of commercial trade.
(c) (1) “Handgun” means a pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed on the person.
(2) “Handgun” includes a short–barreled shotgun and a short–barreled rifle.
(3) “Handgun” does not include a shotgun, rifle, or antique firearm.

The problem you run into is that the definition of "handgun" in Md Code Criminal Law 4-201, which includes a SBR, only applies to that subtitle of Md Code Criminal Law. It does not apply anywhere to Md Code Public Safety.

Somebody remind me again what the Engage lawsuit was about back in 2013, maybe early 2014.
