I live in Maryland, the black sheep cousin of the Seven Sisters of Gun Control states. The one that so badly wants to be like California, New Jersey, New York, Illinois and Massachusetts, Connecticut and Hawaii but never seems to get its act together.Thankfully.Maryland is anti-gun but to the point of serious annoyance, political contempt but not quite to the level of all-out culture war that has been waged in California, New Jersey and New York.Here’s a summary of Maryland’s gun laws:Permit-to-purchase required for handguns effective 01/2013Registration for all handguns and “assault weapons”.“Assault weapons” banned (kind of, see below) effective 01/2013Magazines over 10 rounds of capacity banned (kind of, see below).Limited to one handgun per month (kind of, see below)Handguns and stripped frames/receivers require a 7 day waiting periodMental health certification at time of purchaseRifles and shotguns are NICS cash-and-carryRifles and shotguns are allowed to be sold between individuals via private sale without a background check.Handgun sales between private individuals must go through a licensed dealer or State Police and subject to a background check and the 7 day waiting period.Peaceable journey laws that don’t permit you to travel anywhere but home, the gun shop/gunsmith or range with a handgun in your vehicle.“May Issue” concealed carry that requires a “Good and Substantial” reason to be granted a permit. Carrying large sums of money or valuables qualify. Protecting oneself is not.Safe handgun roster that lists only handguns that are approved for sale in Maryland.Quite anti-gun. But here’s some of the weirdness that the journalists and politicians who talk about Maryland’s gun laws don’t realize because they talk in soundbites and not the laws they actually passed.The biggest recent change is the handgun permit-to-purchase. This was rammed through the General Assembly as part of the Firearm Safety Act in early 2013 (FSA’13) after Sandy Hook. It wasn’t advertised as a solution to the causes of Sandy Hook, strangely. It was sold as a crime fighting measure to prevent criminal gun crime in Baltimore. It was rammed through despite the largest gathering of people to oppose a proposed law in Maryland state history!Over 3000 people descended on Lawyer’s Mall outside the Maryland Senate to testify against the bill. So many, in fact, that for the first and only time in state history, they had to shut down and turn away people from entering the Senate building due to overcapacity. And under Maryland state law anyone who put their name down to testify on a bill was entitled to be heard. So for almost 16 hours, well into the wee hours of the morning, the Senate Judiciary Committee was forced to hear “No, I do not support this bill” from citizen after citizen and forced to sit in their chairs the whole time. They tried to turn people away but thought better of the idea when the crowd made their opinion known.The “No” support outnumbers the “Yes” support for the bill 1000-to-1. It didn’t matter. The single party state rammed the bill they had dreamed of passing for years over the objections of the public.I am firmly convinced this is one of the major factors that led to Republican Larry Hogan being elected governor two years later. Lots of angry gun owners and they vote.The permit-to-purchase, called the Handgun Qualification License (HQL), is required to be possessed by anyone wishing to buy a handgun in Maryland except for C&R handguns. To get this permit a law-abiding citizen is treated worse than a criminal being booked.They are required to get training at their own expense in gun safety. The average cost of this training is $150–200 and takes at least 4 hours. After that, they are required to be fingerprinted, again at their own expense, averaging $45–60 by a state police approved taker and have those prints submitted electronically. Once you have your fingerprints, you can apply online (and only online) via the Maryland State Police (MSP) website for the HQL at an additional $50 and provide proof of training, fingerprint reference and you must have a MVA issued state ID at the time of application (they use your MVA photo on the permit).Once submitted, it will take the MSP between 18 and 30 days to process your application and then you will receive the HQL in the mail a few days later.The HQL does not waive any background check, despite having a NICS check performed at issue, is not a carry permit (says so right on the back) nor does it waive the 7 day waiting period for a handgun despite being a handgun purchase permit and shows you have received proper training. It is little more than a $300 permission slip that takes around 2 months to get that you need to have before you can exercise your right to arms in Maryland.$300 and two months. To exercise a fundamental right. If you need a handgun in the meantime, you better already own one (an HQL is not required for possession of existing handguns) or find a C&R handgun instead.The HQL was sold as a crime fighting measure. 3 years on, I look forward to asking our Senate Judiciary Committee how many criminals who were arrested after committing gun crimes had a valid HQL in their possession or issued to them. I expect that number to be minute, approaching zero.So much for the promise of gun control.Maryland has had registration for decades along, until recently, with ballistic fingerprinting. Only New York had a similar system. All handguns sold in Maryland used to be required to be sold with a fired casing that was then scanned into a ballistics database for future crime solving. The fired casing was tied to the registered handgun that fired so there was a link between each.This system wasted millions of dollars and pretty much all of the fired casings wound up unprocessed and sitting in a barrel in Jessup, MD. The system never solved a single crime and was finally scrapped as a pipe dream fantasy, ineffectual waste of money that simple drove up the cost of guns in Maryland and wasted troopers time. New York scrapped their system a couple years after Maryland for the same reason.So if you’re thinking microstamping or ammunition serialization is a wonderful idea, I recommend looking at the example of Maryland and New York to understand why it won’t and doesn’t work in reality.“Assault weapons” were defined in the 1990s following the Federal ban as specific long gun models or their copies as being especially dangerous. These were treated like handguns with registration and the 7 day wait for possession.With the passage of the FSA’13, the gun controllers in Maryland stuck it to the citizens and finally got their long-desired “assault weapon” ban that actually banned guns. They simply declared these “regulated” long guns could no longer be sold in Maryland. Bye bye AK pattern rifles, AR-15s, FN FAL, M1A and many others. If you owned one on or before October 1, 2013, you could keep it. Any orders placed before that date could be honored and those guns transferred when they came in (there was a wee bit of a sales uptick between passage and going into effect). If you lived out-of-state and moved into Maryland, your banned “assault weapons” could never enter the state with few exceptions. Once out, forever out mostly.But note I said “kind of” when it came to the ban. You see, the original Maryland “assault weapon” ban was done by model and copies of those models, not features. So the AR-15 was banned but the original ban had an exception for a rifle known as the Colt HBAR Sporter, a competition target rifle version of the AR-15. Before the FSA’13, this model of rifle was not consider an “assault weapon” and could be sold cash-and-carry. But if the AR-15 had a government profile rather than HBAR profile barrel, it was regulated.Thus the exact same rifle, depending on what barrel it was sold with, determined whether or not it was treated to registration and a 7 day waiting period or treated like a hunting rifle and you could walk out immediately with it after a NICS check.When the FSA’13 passed, the AR-15 was sort of banned. Since they simply changed the law to state any long gun on the regulated “assault weapon” list was now banned with no other language, the existing exceptions remained in place. So this means the AR-15 is still quite legal in Maryland and is now sold cash-and-carry like any hunting rifle.As are AR-15 pistols, since these are handguns and on the roster. As are AK pistols. And short barreled rifles under the NFA since those guns are not considered “copies” of the banned rifles. So you can still own an AK or other short barreled version of a “banned” gun as they fall under a different set of rules.And yet people report, years onward, that the AR-15 and its ilk are banned in Maryland. Apparently journalists haven’t thought of visiting a Maryland gun store to see how wrong they are. As long as the AR in question has a heavy barrel, it is legal to sell and own like any other rifle under the Colt HBAR Sporter exception.Magazines over 10 rounds of capacity are banned. Actually not. You see, the original law that limited magazine capacity was 20 rounds. For the FSA’13 they struck out 20 and replaced it with 10. But the language of the capacity ban bans the shipping, sale or transfer of magazines exceeding that capacity within the state of Maryland by its residents.It does not ban possession. It does not ban transport.Which means it is perfectly legal for a Maryland resident to go to a neighboring state, buy any capacity magazine they wish and bring them home.So much for that law which merely removes tax revenue from the state and inconveniences private citizens and makes them do business elsewhere.There is a “one handgun a month” law in Maryland. Kind of. There is an exception for “designated collectors” in Maryland. If you are a “designated collector” you can buy as many handguns or frames/receivers as you wish at a time subject only to the 7 day wait to take possession.Obviously such a massive responsibility is difficult to get. Uh, not really. All you need to do to be a “designated collector” is fill out a one page form saying you want to be one and mail it to the Maryland State Police, no fee or training required. They will send you back confirmation that you are now a “designated collector” and you can go shopping at will.There are a lot of “designated collectors” in Maryland.With the FSA’13, one of the bonus items was a mental health check at the time of purchase for a handgun. This is done on what is called Form 77R which basically requires you to sign away all HIPPA and privacy rights to all medical history on you held anywhere to make sure you are not dangerous and have never been committed or treated for any mental health issues. Ineffectual but a blanket permission for the MSP to have access to all your medical history.Maryland has “universal background checks” only for handguns. Private individuals can buy and sell unregulated rifles and shotguns to each other freely without a background check. The “gun show loophole” is alive and well in Maryland.Maryland imposes peaceable journey requirements when transporting handguns and now-banned regulated long guns. No stopping for food, gas or visiting friends. Not really enforced as unless you are caught at a gas station, no one will know you aren’t being “peaceable” in your journey with guns.Maryland tries to mirror other states like California in having a safe handgun roster. Only handguns on the roster can be sold in Maryland. However, unlike California, Maryland has a handgun roster review board that meets month and goes over guns to be added to the list. Anyone can submit a handgun to the list. Pretty much once submitted a handgun goes on the list. No testing or feature requirements. No bans on guns that have a different color or different sights. Once on the list it can be sold in any color or configuration forever.So the Maryland handgun roster is a crowdsourced version of handgun whack-a-mole. Gun dealers and private citizens make sure new guns get added frequently so there is only a delay of a few months from when a new handgun comes to market to where it can be sold in Maryland. The handgun review board is also required to have pro-gun representation on it so it cannot be used to impose a blanket ban on new guns being sold in the state.And finally we have “May Issue” permitting for concealed or open carry. No one in Maryland can carry a gun in public without a permit. The permits are only issued to those who demonstrate a “Good and Substantial” reason to have one. This entails needing to carry for employment purposes (in which case the permit only applies when on the job, not traveling to or from), carry large sums of money or valuables, being under documented death threat and so on.Personal self-defense is not a “good and substantial” reason.The MSP advertises a 90%+ approval rate. What they don’t tell you is that a denial and subsequent appeal is done at your cost and becomes a permanent record regardless of outcome. Which has serious downstream effects for a would-be applicant. Notably it means you can’t get out-of-state non-resident carry permits from other states like Florida because they consider any denial of a permit application for any reason grounds for automatic denial in their state. They don’t care about the reason.So Maryland gun owners wanting to be denied on general principle to show the untruth of the 90%+ approval figure can’t do it because they put their gun carry rights elsewhere in the country at permanent risk.So there you have a detailed accounting of Maryland’s gun control laws. It tries so hard and yet falls short of the states it wishes to so badly emulate.What does it like to live here?Frustrating. Some guns are forever denied me such as the M1A because I didn’t buy one in the Great Gun Rush of 2013. Others I can never replace if they break because the law contains no exception for that. Once a banned gun breaks on you it is gone forever.The HQL doesn’t accomplish anything except treat would-be gun owners as criminals. It hasn’t reduced crime at all in Baltimore and people are stunned when they find out this law exists. Amusement is not the emotion that follows when they find out what is involved.The lack of carry rights is a crime against the citizenry. Every state surrounding Maryland has “Shall Issue” carry and none of them have any problems. And yet politicians here claim it is necessary for safety. Ask the victims of crime in Baltimore and Prince George’s County about that. The criminals certainly don’t care about a permit since they ignore the laws listed.I tolerate it. Angrily. I do it out of love for my wife not out of love for the state. When I can convince her to leave here, I will and never look back.

That would be a state by state decision. In Maryland, the dealer only provides a “certified” bill of sale, what ever that is. Some of the locker room lawyers who check in documents, insist that a notary public has to counter sign the BOS. Legally, that does not make it a certified document, but rather a notorized document.The balance of the forms are provided by the state’s MVA or DMV. The seller may provide a reasonable facsimilie rather than use the state’s form provided all the information required is provided. Md publishes a list of charges for documents except for the Bill of Sale.I’m not sure it matters in the USA since the buyer can purchase from any seller that appeals to them. If a seller charges for a BOS it’s a simple matter to by a different vehicle from another seller. No one has a gun to your head forcing you to by from any individual or company.
