I know this topic has been beat to death regarding what people think so here is a link to what the federal law actually is.

Here is a link to what the Md. laws are. Note: put SUBTITLE 1. REGULATED FIREARMS in the search box in the upper left hand corner. Once you get into one of the sections click on book browse near the top and that will make it easier to move through the sections.

Draw your own conclusions.

here is a link that gives the exact scenario we are in.

Q: If a State is acting as a NICS point of contact (POC) and State law has requirements regarding the amount of time that a licensee must wait before transferring a firearm after contacting the State, should the licensee comply with the State requirements, the Federal requirements, or both?

The licensee must comply with both State and Federal requirements.

Example: State D is acting as a POC for NICS checks. State law requires a background check prior to the transfer of any firearm. State law also requires the licensee to wait 10 days to get a response from the State. The licensee must contact the State POC for a NICS check and a State background check. The licensee must comply with both Federal and State law by waiting 10 days for a response prior to transferring the firearm. If the licensee has not received a response from the State after 10 days, he or she may transfer the firearm.

Example: State E is acting as a POC for NICS checks. State law requires a background check prior to the transfer of any firearm. Under State law, the licensee may transfer the firearm if he or she gets no final response from the State by the next day. The licensee contacts the State POC for a NICS check, and gets a “delayed” response. Assuming that the licensee gets no further response from the State POC, the licensee must comply with both Federal and State law by waiting until 3 business days have elapsed prior to transferring the firearm.

There is no ambiguity to the law, there are no liability concerns, the dealer doesn't have to go out and get the gun if disapproved. All black and white.

Are many people still saying you need an NTN, even after MSP came out with the letter yesterday?
