Would he need a HQL for this give-a-way gun from family ?
No, HQL requirement us for MD residents only.

The OP recipient is a MD resident. I think the answer is that the recipient needs an HQL. There is an exemption in the waiting period for a gift from family, not the HQL tho.

My dad is planning to give me a handgun. He lives in PA on the MD/PA border. Can he drive the gun to a MD FFL to transfer into my name or does it have to be shipped?
Talk to the Maryland FFL first and he should walk you thru the steps needed.
Make sure your father follows the gun transport laws of Pennsylvania and Maryland.
We assume you are not a prohibited person.
1. Do you the recipient have a Maryland Handgun Qualification License (HQL)? You will need one which takes some time for background checks, fingerprints, and costs money to get, plenty of other threads about HQL's.
2. You will have to fill out several forms, part of the process is on a computer.
3. You will have a seven day wait, "while background checks" are being processed (the same ones as for HQL done again), before you can pick up the gun from the FFL.
4. There will be some transfer fees.

There have been some threads on this, which I cannot find. For gift between family members, I don't think #3 is true.
Here we go ... no wait in this case ... assuming the recipient of the gift isn't a designated collector and it's 30 days since the last 77R submission by the recipient.
Here is a PDF from the MSP licensing portal website that contains the excerpt below ...

If he did have an HQL , he could drive to Pa , get the eligible gun directly from Dad , and then enter into Bound Book .
