    that was a separate bill ... stay tuned, probably will make a cameo appearance in the near future as an amendment to another bill to be snuck in under the radar

    The status page still shows HB1277 as this:
    "House: Hearing Ways and Means – 3/8"

    Been keeping an eye on this one too... It doesn't appear to have made crossover, but since it is still open, those sneaky b$$&#&!s could pull a fast one.

    We need to continue to sleep with one eye open until sine die. Anything can happen and I bet they think we aren't watching anymore.

    Anyone hear any updates?

    Watch MD purchses on gunbroker go through the roof when this happens. Granted, you should be buying literally everything you can online anyway to avoid taxes at this point.

    Which will likely result in MD charging you with tax evasion if they find out.

    WTF? How? Its not purchased In-State. If I buy a 40" TV from crutchfield over in VA, MD is not getting any sales tax from it.

    Edit: and forget gunbroker, gunbot.net FTW.

    Maryland law requires buyers of products online or in other states to pay a use tax to Maryland if you're bringing those products in to Maryland for use. Unless you payed taxes in the other state equal or greater than the sales tax in Maryland, you owe!!!

    Look up Maryland Sales and Use tax.

    If you go to VA and pay VA sales tax then, no, MD doesn't get any tax.

    If you buy online and have it shipped to MD, then you have to pay MD taxes on it w/ your MD state income taxes. You do that now right?

    First one was my example, not the second one, should have been more clear. Hell if I'm paying two states, especially if one of them is this one:mad54:

    If a 50% ammo tax passed, can you imagine how much more impossible it would become to find ammo prior to it going into effect?

    Good news is that you could probably find it more easily after the tax.

    Well Fox news did a report on taxing the 2nd amendment. Showed MD as "considering
    a $25 gun license fee and 50% tax on Ammo so maybe thats where the questions are stemming from?
