Yes. As long as you're not selling to someone you believe to be prohibited from buying it, and the gun can be legally transferred (say, it's not on Maryland's naughty list per 2013). Make a detailed bill of sale for your own protection. Presumably this is not being shipped, etc? Strictly face to face?

ok thanks was just curious you answered my question. I have done several car trunk sales but not for years. Thought it was one of the things in that bill last year.
They tried that last year and will probably try again this year

I hate using the word nazi. I really do I fear it has become watered down. But yes this is a nazi idea.
Yes, there was a bill last year, but it failed at the 11th hour.
There were (SHOCK!) some very poorly thought out things in the bill, even from a gun grabbers prospective.
It'll be back this year. You can count on it. If the feds are pushing UBC hard, MD will get it done.
My expectations are MD will go UBC, but without a long gun license like there was in the bill. Either no license, or they'll turn the HQL in to a Gun License and everyone will need to get one to buy a gun.
I'd expect the 7 day wait to also be extended to long guns from regulated firearms. If I were to take a wild ass guess, probably also a limit of 1 per 30 days. If MD GA is really generous, they might extend the collectors license to also cover purchase of more than 1 long gun in 30 days.
May or may not have any exceptions for C&Rs. Probably won't have an exception for FFL-03/C&R license holders (I was shocked there was one in the original bill, not surprised it was pulled).
I don't want one. Since I'd bet at least one of my kids it is coming, selfishly I hope they do have an exception for C&R license holders. Also that they extend the 1 per 30 day limit to people with collectors licenses. Its a load of crap that C&R license holders have no exemption from regulated firearm purchases in Maryland (but being a federal license, they do outside of Maryland).
No idea what other level of stupid Maryland will do. I'd be surprised if the HBAR ban doesn't come back up. As stupid as MGA is, I'd bet they'll write it this time to grandfather HBARs purchased after Oct 2013 to tamp down the furor a little. I don't think they'd be willing to go full Beto and ban things without grandfathering (I expect that'll take them at least a few more years).

If my understanding of MGA procedures is correct (always iffy at best), I believe they're required to first take up any bills vetoed by the Governor from their last session. If so, some of the more onerous pieces of legislation my be voted on immediately in an attempt to override the vetos. Or...they could not vote immediately but amend the bills to have even more objectionable proposals added.

Only legal if both buyer and seller are residents of the same state.
So MD resident can sell to MD resident, but not to PA resident.
