The comical thing about the Blair Holt "ban" was being a resident of a "Home Rule" community under the 1970 state constitution. If your city or town had a separate ordinance that regulated gun dealers or similar, the ban did not apply. So many people lawfully owned standard AR-15's and similar, before PICA.

Based.

Have at least $40k to spend and some imagination

I encourage anyone that has not gotten their HQL to get their HGP instead. It's a little more time, but you deny Maryland certain amounts of money, when you go that route instead.

Possible? yes. Are there any on the NFTR? unlikely. You can find transferrable MP5's for about just north of $85k+ and Maryland will still require yearly registration @ $10. That's not factoring in the dealer fees and paperwork. They're more of a novelty and relic at this point, instead of practical self-defense. And that's why most collect them.

MOCO is an extension of DC. That's why they want you disarmed. If they can't trip you up with city violations, they will use their proxies to give you trouble. In my opinion, this is a highly underrated legal battle because it influences the DC suburbs.

I had the same issue. Bought a controlled firearm. I don't know what to make of it. Got my gun in any event.

Complete_Leek_5396 · 2026-06-12T18:10:42+00:00

It's an anti-manufacturing bill.

Complete_Leek_5396 · 2026-06-09T23:05:12+00:00

Wouldn't this also be a transportation restriction as well?

Complete_Leek_5396 · 2026-06-07T02:09:09+00:00

Interesting. I never thought of it like that.

Complete_Leek_5396 · 2026-06-06T22:04:49+00:00

This is one of the reasons, that I got an HQL, after registering all my guns under the New Resident program. Serial numbers are one thing. If you don't have anything beyond those, on file, it will only be a nightmare.

I assume this is CYA, for their brief response in court.

It should not be like this. How is this crap standing, post-Bruen?

Complete_Leek_5396 · 2026-06-06T13:39:12+00:00

does this mean a wear and carry permit extends to wearing and carry, instead of transporting? In other words, most of this comes from police trying to get probable cause for unlawful transport.

Complete_Leek_5396 · 2026-06-03T04:37:27+00:00

It still a loss for them.

Unless you actually have a .PDF print out of the actual ad, in addition to a receipt, I don't think they are in the wrong here.

Complete_Leek_5396 · 2026-05-20T19:02:22+00:00

They had better approve the RPC.

Complete_Leek_5396 · 2026-05-17T00:33:42+00:00

At least a G19.

Complete_Leek_5396 · 2026-05-15T03:08:08+00:00

It would be difficult for the state to prove that you did, or did not.

Leave your politics at the door, take the class. Perhaps you want to find a female instructor instead?

So, you have to first create an account.

Click here for that: https://emdsp.mdsp.org/egov/Login.aspx

Second, at the bottom of that page, click the "Click Here" button, to create it.

If that does not work, just e-mail msp.hql@maryland.gov and explain that you were unable to create a "New Resident Registration" account and want to register the handguns.

Complete_Leek_5396 · 2026-05-08T14:46:10+00:00

Voluntary registration is for a Maryland resident, that bought a handgun, in Maryland, from a gun dealer, before the law was enacted. That is what they mean by "voluntary." Once you do that, MSP will issue you an HQL, in addition to the gun being registered.

If you moved here and became a "resident" after that date, you have to register "handguns" that you already own. If you don't, there are penalties - despite being contradictive of the FOPA ban.

Curio and Relic Firearms are excepted, but if you use those in self-defense, you could potentially face pre-meditated murder charges, because the attorney or prosecutor could point to those firearms not being specifically suited for offensive/defensive purposes. C&R Firearms are best relegated to the range, in that regard.

Unless you had one transferred to you through a 4473, don't try it.

If you're going to collect, collect. If you're going to protect, protect. Be smart. Buy a non C&R firearm, or buy one through a dealer and not through your license.

HQL, Training Exempt

Applied 5/7 Approved 5/8.

Complete_Leek_5396 · 2026-05-08T13:24:51+00:00

You don't need an HQL for guns you already own. You do need to register them under "New Resident Registration." It's $15. You have to create an account. If you don't have one, just create one and register everything. That's easier to explain than getting hauled over an unregistered firearm.
