Hello from Kentucky!
I’m leaving for basic training in a couple of months and I’ve decided to give my firearms to my father, a Maryland resident who doesn’t currently own any guns, before I go. I’ve been reading up on the laws in Maryland but I’ve still got a few questions so I can make sure everything is done legally. Sorry if this is the wrong section to post in, please redirect me if necissary!
1. I have an AR-15 with a gov. profile barrel, I know that’s not legal in MD, but will it be okay to just buy and install an HBAR marked barrel or does the fact that it wasn’t originally fitted make a difference?
2. In order for him to get my 30 round magazines, he would have to meet me outside of Maryland, correct?
3. I will be giving him a handgun as well, will he need to have an HQL before taking possession of it? He is a member of the military if that makes a difference. And will he need to register the handgun?
4. I’ve been told by MD residents that since the guns are going between immediate family members, son and father, that I can simply give them to him, but since I’m an out of state resident do we need to do the transfer through an FFL?
I just want to make we don’t accidentally break any laws, thanks in advance!
