Really? The reports I've been reading are that part of the MD transportation law has *not* been tested, and that the solution is to carry a range bag with you.
While that may be true, has not been tested; it is to my knowledge from reading the bill, that the provisions to the annotated code do not affect regulated firearms or newly deemed "assault weapons" owned or purchased before Oct. 1, the effectively become grandfathered in. However, as I understand it, if a person moves into the state of Maryland, they must first register the regulated arm(s) or "assault weapons" (if they so happen to fall in that category) before being permitted to transport them according to state code.
A non-regulated firearm however can be transported inside and outside of the state after Oct. 1 just the same as it can today.
Perhaps someone else could chime in on this.
