Can I sell this handgun in Virginia and don't violate Maryland gun law?

[efeng9622]

I am going to sell a S & W 915 pistol which with a 15 rounds magazien, but I just found that I can' sell it within Maryland , but I used online search and saw " possession of magazines ( I think include the gun) greater than 10 rounds is legal if purchased out of state. These may not, however, be transferred to a subsequent owner unless done so outside the state of Maryland." so I want to make sure that if I can sell this gun in Virginia and don't violate Maryland gun law,

Yes, through an FFL in VA.

I did just that last week to get a handgun with >10rd mags from an MD seller.

 

[RFBfromDE]

You can also sell in MD just sans mag, yes?

I believe you are supposed to go through an FFL when you and the buyer do not live in the same state. And in MD's case all handguns have to go through FFL

MD also allows handguns to go through MSP for private party intrastate. That’s cheaper than an FFL, though may be less convenient.

How many times are we going to rehash this question? Transfer to an out of state buyer is entirely legal if permitted in the buyers state. And also write, 100 times, “must go thru FFL” so you don’t forget!

I will be summarily corrected if wrong, but you can not place an ad for a "large" capacity magazine in Maryland, because you can not buy, sell, trade, or give away any magazine over 10 rounds in Maryland.

I presume you are, but want to verify. Are you selling to a Virginia resident or just asking about going to VA to do a sale due to it being legal to sell a firearm there with >10 round mags? As others have said, FFL=Legal ( see ken792 post below)

Also, as ken792 said, maybe MSP or VA SP can do the transfer.

VSP cannot since the seller is an MD resident and VSP is not an FFL.

Maybe the OP ( seller) does not need to place an ad for the firearm in question. Maybe he knows the buyer due to friendship, relative of his, friend of a friend, referral, etc.

I once sold a .30-.30 like this before. I am pretty sure that if the OP wants to sell this SW 915 to someone in Va, the FFL can make all the legal details happen and it will all be legal. I can think of a number of work arounds that are completely legal, right up to consigning it to the Va FFL, and then the FFL doing the sale to the new owner. But I am sure the FFL has a simpler way.

I have purchased several items at auctions in PA, then they ship it to Brad Vosberg ( my Md, FFL at Brownstone Trading Co) and then I go do the paperwork and pay his fee and then I can take it home.

Thanks, for clarifying. This is why i said maybe... I figured that the correct info would follow.

Is it legal for a gun owner to block/pin a >10 mag and then sell it in Merryland?

 

[ken792]

It’s correct that they cannot even place an ad in MD, but it’s because the law also specifies “offer for sale.”

 

[RFBfromDE]

I sold this to you with no mag.

But if you look in the paper bag in the dumpster over there you may find one. Maybe.

As per usual, my disdain for MD, grows and grows.

Maryland is great, but the dangerous, woke political idealism brings us all disdain.

Now let me correct my question ,

I already closed my ad in classified, but I found this forum still have somewhere for " the Neighborhood state" so I don't know if I still can reopen this id for them to see.
I was a Virginia resident for many years , now I think I only has two ways can go ,
a) Directly sale it to a VA FFL,
b) finding a neighborhood state resident ( I prefer VA), if the distance is not too far, I will meet buyer first then go to FFL to do transfer, can I bring the gun to VA FFL by myself in stead of shipping? i think " handgun has to go through FFL" mean transfer ownership , not mean I can't bring to a FFL by myself , right?

You can bring it in person to a VA FFL

Bikebreath,

Maryland the State has many great features. If only we could remove the awful side of the coin, it would then be greater for the most part.

And by awful, I mean the Taxes, politics, crime, and coercion to be controlled. ( woke political idealism.)

Totally agree with you.
