I am moving to Maryland next month. I read the laws and FAQ concerning transporting guns into the state. The only thing i see is that you can not have is an assault pistol (which i don't have).

I have a glock 19 and S&W MP40, are those OK to have?

I have hunting rifles and shotguns which seem to be fine to transport. The laws state that if i obtained guns legally i do not have to register them unless I volunteer to. Then it says providing they aren't assault weapons.

However, I do have an AR and AK (which I obtained legally). Do I have to register the AR and AK?

I just wanted resident input on whats OK. I have read all the rules. I just want to make sure they are interpreted correctly.

Welcome to MD.


Best thing to do is contact the Maryland state police. Or an attorney.
In person would be best.

Even though everyone here are wonderful and we all have great advice, we may not be up to code on the law. ( especially in a state that changes laws in the middle of the night )

It's best to ask for professional advice to keep yourself out of legal troubles.

When you get to Maryland, keep driving until you hit Virginia.

You don't have to register anything you listed.

Only machine guns have to be registered.

Governor O'Malley's proposed legislation, as passed by the state Senate, would require registration of all "assault" weapons, broadly defined, owned prior to October 1, 2013, unless they are already registered. It would also require new residents to register all handguns (except antiques and muzzleloaders) within 30 days of establishing residency. But the final provisions, if a bill is enacted, may be different.

Traffic is a nightmare around the two beltways. PA to MD down 15 is pretty nice the many times I've driven it.

A good job is not worth living in the Communist state of MD. Been here 46 years, can't wait to leave!!!

When my wife retires in six years, we are out of here.

We do not not care how low our quality of life is, it will be better than here.............
