Independently I've researched steps to owning firearms in general (regulated/non-regulated), in Maryland. I came across some threads here and read through them recently.
My store of contact so far was 2A Sales & Supplies (or just 2A). I can definitely say, that I can't get answers to all my questions there since the one or two guys on the phone who work there, aren't eager to enlighten new buyers (e.g. last time I called, the rep. right away said he's busy), though MD firearm regulations can seem a little complicated to the new buyer with there several forms now.
Correct me if I'm wrong regarding the rest of the post. All the forms to own a regulated firearm in Maryland are:
ATF F 4473 Pt. I (5300.9) — Firearms Transaction Record Over-The-Counter
And then forms 77R1, 77R2 and 77R3.
I'm guessing, that none of the 77R's (besides the third) can be viewed online. I saw the ATF form (4473) above, and 77R3. Where are 77R1/2?
I simply want to see them beforehand so I can best research if I meet qualifications. Every time I read the print saying that any "lie" on the form will equal years in jail or thousands of dollars worth of fines, naturally I get frightened. I can now go to a dealer, and fill the forms out to the best of my current knowledge, though without prior prep., I can answer something incorrectly, and I've no way of telling how serious it can be.
It wouldn't be a concern to me if I had no recollection of "mental" conditions I was diagnosed with in the past. I'm in my 20's, though in my early teens, I had anorexia. Who knows what other "mental" conditions/symptoms I was considered to have at the time.
I'm not sure if this disqualifies me from regulated, considering how long ago it was (at least a decade or more) and that it was when I was approximately 12, which was before I reached bold ages like 18, and 21, etc.
I'll stop with this for now. The rest of my question is little compared to what I already wrote, though it depends on the replies.
Thanks and I apologize in advance if things like this have been answered.
