Inherited Regulated handgun in MD

Streetgang · Apr 14, 2014

I've done a forum search and seem to be drawing a blank.
A friend passed away recently and he has at least one pistol. I know his wife has to go to MSP and complete a firearms application. But with October's law, will she now need an HQL or is she exempt?

IIRC inherited guns are exempt.

IANAL

Correct, inherited firearms are exempt from the HQL requirement. All she has to do is go to the barracks and fill out the paperwork. There is no fee for inheritance transfers.

She has to forward a completed 77R to MSP. She can get a blank one from any barrack, or she can call Licensing Division and they should send her one.

No HQL is needed:
