For the zoning part you may want to consider an attorney the specializes in that area and knows the players. Trust me it makes a difference YMMV
FFL, LLC and MD Business license can all be done on your own. As for MD zoning laws contact a Realtor. As far as an adoption for your stepson, how much are you asking for the kid? Maybe we can make a deal
Zoning laws are County or Town. Get a lawyer in the county or town that has experience in Zoning.

Why should we Free BSD?
You forgot to tell him to PM Charlie Foxtrot on the forum. He is also an IP in the legal area for Schaffer, Flores, and Black, here in Frederick. That firm defended MDS pro bono over the Fox incident.

He is there. He generally lurks on the forum.

Texas,
I work for a large firm in Baltimore that may be able to help. I'll send you a PM. I'm not an IP (although I did PM admins requesting more information) so if the mods feel it's against the rules to give him my information, please let me know.

A good lawyer knows the law, a great lawyer knows the judge, or in this case the zoning board

I handle entity formations like partnerships, limited partnerships, LLC, corporations (i.e., S Corp & C Corp) and I handle any related tax elections that are required. I do it on a flat fee for a single member LLC. When there is more than one member, I do it on an hourly basis because that is when things get complicated.
I do not handle zoning matters, and as already mentioned, you want to hire somebody that does a ton of that work. Kind of like hiring an attorney to represent you on the Eastern Shore or in western Maryland where the towns are really small out there and every attorney knows every other attorney in the area and hunts, fishes, and shoots with them.

If you do not have to keep the LLC in existence to maintain business licenses or for property ownership purposes, the easiest thing might be to wrap it up in Texas and just start a new one in Maryland with your wife on the Operating Agreement as the sole owner. Otherwise, you can just do a quick transfer to your wife and register the LLC to do business in Maryland. I just have no idea what Texas LLC law requires as far as yearly fees, etc. In Maryland, you get to pay a yearly $300 fee with your Maryland Personal Property return for the pleasure of doing business in Maryland, and then a personal property tax to the county wherein any property owned by the LLC is located. There are exceptions to both the $300 fee and the personal property tax, but most LLCs pay them.
Edit to add: I cannot imagine coming to Maryland from Texas. My dream is to go to Texas. Think it would be a nightmare the opposite way around.

You might as well get the zoning approval first. Without that, you won't get your FFL. Then the LLC, so your license will be correct when you apply. I had an LLC for almost 3 years before I went into business (non-gun related).
