Maryland. "The Free State."
Some of our laws:
All handguns that can be sold in the state must be approved by "The Handgun Board"
No magazine, holding more than 20 rounds, can be sold in the state
All persons purchasing a handgun must take and pass a State Police Handgun Training Course before purchasing a handgun
All controlled weapons (all handguns [excluding BP firearms] and any of a list of about 300 rifles, pistols, and shotguns being designed and able to hold more than 20 rounds of ammo) are to be treated the same as handguns
All handguns and controlled weapons cannot be delivered to the purchaser prior to a background check by the State Police (anywhere from 7-21 days, but not shorter than 7 days. (The average is 10 days now.)
Any private sale, or purchase, of a controlled weapon, or handgun, must go through the State Police and all state and federal forms must be completed.
No handgun, or controlled weapon, can be passed on as inheritance to a person's offspring without going through the State Police. They have to power to deny the passing down of the firearm and can destroy it if they desire.
No one, other than a police officer, or member of the judiciary, or bank employee will be allowed to obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon (and the bank employee's permit is limited to 2 weeks).
No one can transport a controlled weapon, or handgun, unless it is to a certified gun dealer, shooting range, or for hunting purposes, or on your own land.
While all BP firearms are not under any state or federal restrictions, all centerfire firearms are rigidly controlled.
