well using the previous logic, there is no penalty so why bother?
I agree. No one is arguing about it.
Hello all,
Question for the community...
I moved to MD over 10 years ago for work; I have several firearms I had purchased while living in Florida well before that.
About 4 years ago, I inherited a rifle,shotgun and pistol from a family member in FL.
I had a discussion with a trooper recently over a similar hypothetical...the answers he gave were different than my understanding...here are my hypotheticals:
a) Firearms that were purchased 15+ years ago in another state (FL in this case) didn't need to be registered in MD when a person moved here 10 years ago. True?
b) the rifle and pistol don't need to be registered in MD as they were inherited before the 2013 gun law changes. True?
Thanks in advance!
Hey I am also moving back to Maryland in the next 8 months. What have you learned and how did the process go for you? I am moving back to MD from Alabama (where gun rights are not infringed). I have a DDM4v5(pre ban) AR, AK-74(post ban) and two pistols(one pre and one post ban). Thanks.

First off, wow! Maryland gun laws are something!
From my research I understand that you can't transport a gun in your car unless you're going to a shooting range, hunting, class, etc.
But I can't seem to find anything on my situation. I'm currently a Florida resident and temporarily moving to MD for work. Duration is less than 1 year so I'm keeping my FL residency and license plates. There's a shooting range down the road from where I'll be living so I'd like to bring a handgun up.
It doesn't seem like there's anyway I can though. Does anyone know anything about visiting the state with handguns?
I'm also going to be driving around with FL plates. And there was that story in the news about how MD state police were targeting Florida plates registered to CCW Permit holders. So that kind of freaks me out. Am I just better off leaving the gun at home and using the rentals at the range?
Current DE resident at the moment.
This ban is only for ARs, right?
This ban doesn't apply to handguns, which aren't banned, but "regulated," no?
My Glock 21(13 rounds) and LCR are on the MD handgun roster. If I moved to MD, I would only need to register them within 90 days to be able to legally keep them at my home and to the range for practice?
ugh. Starting to think I'm better off commuting from DE, save up my money, then move to NOVA ASAP lol.
And BTW, MANY MD residents have an FL carry permit.
If you are living here for more than 6 moths, MD considers you a resident. And if you are caught, you may be subject to legal actions.
I've searched this forum for about an hour, but haven't found anyone in my specific situation.
I'm a military contractor (IT/Computer geek) and got transferred to Baltimore for work in 2000. In 2010, I bought a Springfield Xdm .40. Awesome gun, btw. I went through the background check, seven day wait, etc. and got my gun. It is the only non-black powder pistol I currently own. I still have all paperwork for the weapon.
In January of 2015 I got transferred to NC. I currently have an NC driver's license, pay taxes here, etc. I am currently a NC resident.
It looks like I'm going to be transferred back to Baltimore this summer. It's a promotion and not an option (I LOVE my company!). Besides, other than STUPID gun laws and high taxes, I love living in Baltimore.
Do I have to register my pistol since I bought it before October, 2013 in Baltimore?
