Moving to Maryland Next Month

evicen2 · May 11, 2020

So to start off, I live in Virginia now and moving to Maryland next month (wife is in the military). I am aware about registering my handguns within 90 days. I am also aware about the AR15 laws so sadly I got rid of them.

I am so confused about the gun roster thing. Can someone please enlighten me with this.

I currently own ATI Firepower Extreme 45ACP Military 1911 and Rock Island Ultra MS 45ACP. Both purchased in Virginia, Also purchased 2019 and 2020 if that matters.

My question is can I take them with me when I move down to Maryland? I dont see them in the Maryland Roster thats why Im so confused.

Thank you for any answers in advance!

Handgun roster is only for purchasing, not owning so you are fine. If you owned the AR's prior to 10/01/2013 they are fine to bring in. If purchased after that they would have to have a heavy barrel if .223/5.56

Welcome to Maryland and you have my sincere sympathies at the same time...not that Virginia is any better now. Maryland has been bad for many years to a gun owner...and Virginia has just said "Hold my beer!"

welcome!

Thank you guys! Yeah unfortunately, we have no choice. Wife got her orders there.

OP welcome, and sorry about our gun laws.

You could have put HBAR uppers on the ARs and sold or stored the previous ones elsewhere.

Welcome... its a confusing mess here, but you'll figure it out eventually.

I’d welcome you to MD but, alas, I’ve unarsed the joint.

I will welcome you to the forum. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Since his wife is active duty on orders, isn't there something about her permanent state of residence that may come into play? I don't know if/how that affects non-military spouses.

Pretty sure it doesn’t cover spouses if his residence changes and they are his guns. But if the ARs were post 2013, no go. Orders or no orders, those guns can’t come in unless they are owned by an FFL, Police officer or the government (or HBAR/non-.223/5.56)

Welcome. Just one question.....sure she can’t commute? Virginia is still in “Free America”. And are you sure they’re not her guns?

evicen2 · May 11, 2020

Were driving there, just wanna make sure I can legally own them there. I hear some people say dont register them some said register them. If I have to get rid of them I will but preffer to keep atleast 2 hand guns.

Yeah, which Post and are you limited to base housing? Pax River is close to VA. Dietrich is close to PA and not to awful far to WV and VA. Aberdeen is close to PA and DE.

The only ones that are miserable to commute out of state are Meade and Annapolis. Though I'm retired from Meade and worked with lots of people who commuted from out of state. But, your wife probably has limits on how far she can be from her post.

You poor bastard. Life has dealt you a cruel hand and with any luck you can cash out your chips and leave at first chance.

Welcome to Maryland. But we also feel very sympathetic to hear about your situation. I personally cannot wait to leave the state!

Yep, doable for some. My last 4 years were stationed at Ft. Myers but I bought my house in Myersville Md. commuted down 70-270-beltway. That was 90-94. Marylinistan was much more “friendly” then.

Good luck and don’t make a snap decision.

I think that immediate family are also covered and do not need to become residents.

PowPow · May 12, 2020

On the question of active duty moving on orders and whether spouses may also maintain the same permanent state of residence (not needing to become residents of the state moved to), we have two conflicting responses:
