you need to take a trip out of state to get 30 round mags here in MD yep it is stupid but law :mad54:

AFAIK, it is illegal to receive magazines over a capacity of 10 in Maryland. The merchant is doing the right thing. Any maneuvers to trick them to sending them to you is asking for trouble.

As said above, head out to PA or VA or WV and pick up what you want. Possessing is fine in state, transferring, not.

PA

I send mine to a friend in PA and go there and pick them up.

"Any sites that are aware of the actual law that allows out of state dealers to sell/ship to MD?
Suggestions, or site that allows hi capacity mags to be ordered?"

OK, I have to ask the OP.....what are you talking about???

You cant receive +10 mags in Maryland.....what "actual law" are you speaking of? Do you mean you are exempt?

When things are posted on this site, that give the appearance of attempting to skirt laws, it makes us all look bad.....that upsets me.

Not to pile on.....But you're upset that a company won't help you break the law?

You are correct.

Unless the OP is exempt the transaction he describes is illegal. If he is exempt, I certainly wouldn't expect online merchants to set up for one-offs.

Seen a few mentions of getting a prepaid card and creating a out of state billing address but wouldn't that still get pinged by having a Maryland ship to address in the end plus pain in the ass of setting one up and paying $5-7 just to buy one of those reloadable cards?
F&$k I hate Maryland and it's bs

For a new guy, this is an interesting post. :innocent0

Call ahead to a neighboring state shop and have the mags waiting for you. Throw the family in the car and make it a day trip.

In fact, there is a mdshooters Industry Partner from PA with a a page on here: https://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=53461

How do dealers get around this issue? Forgive me if it's a stupid question.

Road trip

A little gas and toll money will take care of your dilemma ...

There are NO dealers in The PRofMD who are allowed to sell magazines over 10rd capacity to MD residents, except law enforcement.

Almost correct. Dealers can sell high cap mags to LEOs and sell them to out of state residents.( ie: Internet sales )

East2West · Dec 3, 2016

I know they can't sell them. But, when they order their supply from say, glock, do the guns not come with standard magazines?

Depends on their distributors. Most of the time they come with the standard issued mags with that certain firearm. It's the dealers responsibility to remove them before a sale to a MD resident.

East2West · Dec 3, 2016

Ok, so, the dealer CAN have standard capacity magazines shipped to them. Is that because there is an exemption in the law?

Somewhat. The dealer is not the actual purchaser or " end user" of the mag. Just like a MD dealer can have "banned" rifles in his shop for sale, just not to MD residents.
