It appears Crazy Uncle Joe is going to make us register AR pistols that have a stabilizing brace as a SBR.
Are SBR's legal in MD? I'm pretty much up to speed on MD's stupid "so-called assault weapons" laws, but clueless about SBR's in MD...never had one. TIA.
Not all AR-15s are "assault long guns". The "assault long gun" list is found in Public Safety Title 5 Subtitle 1. This PARTICULAR subtitle defines the term "handgun", which includes SBRs.
The "copycat weapon" is defined in a DIFFERENT subtitle (Criminal Law Title 4 Subtitle 3). This DIFFERENT subtitle does not define the term "handgun" so we fall back to SBRs being considered rifles.
DIFFERENT subtitles, DIFFERENT definitions.
So sum it all up for us counselor. What is a legal SBR in 5.56/.223 caliber in the state of Maryland, if you please.
