Just got this email.

One purchases a suppressor via 4473. 2 years from now the political winds change and the antis take all three branches of govt.

In this scenario many might want to form 4 their suppressor before the federal govt reenacts the tax stamp but instead of $200 its $2,000 or $20,000. How does one form 4 a suppressor already manufactured, purchased, and transferred to a FFL vis Form 3. I don’t think this has ever been done.

I read recently that they were legal after I have been believing that they weren’t (considering it’s MD), but now I wanna know if I can even get my hands on them lmfao

Hello my fellow freedom deprived firearm owners!

I am interested in coming from Buffalo, NY to shoot a match in Maryland or Virginia with some family but I am looking for some guidance on the legality of it.

Looking at Md. Criminal Law Code Ann. § 4-203 I have gathered the following:

• (4) the wearing, carrying, or transporting by a person of a handgun used in connection with an organized military activity, a target shoot, formal or informal target practice, sport shooting event, hunting, a Department of Natural Resources-sponsored firearms and hunter safety class, trapping, or a dog obedience training class or show, while the person is engaged in, on the way to, or returning from that activity if each handgun is unloaded and carried in an enclosed case or an enclosed holster;
  • So this should cover me for shooting a match in MD, but will it cover me if I am shooting a match in VA?
• (3) the carrying of a handgun on the person or in a vehicle while the person is transporting the handgun to or from the place of legal purchase or sale, or to or from a bona fide repair shop, or between bona fide residences of the person, or between the bona fide residence and place of business of the person, if the business is operated and owned substantially by the person if each handgun is unloaded and carried in an enclosed case or an enclosed holster;
  • This is where I am hung up overall. Will I be able to stay in MD, and specifically with family? I have found random info on here saying that when you rent a hotel in MD it becomes your bona fide residence. Will staying with direct relatives be an issue here?

Thanks for any insight here. Hopefully I can get a good idea of what is legal before/in place of calling the MSP.

I am still confused about this. Is a 10.5-inch barrel ar pistol (registered as pistol) that came with a brace considered an SBR? Update: I found this in VAgun sub. This was very unfortunate even in FL. https://thegunwriter.substack.com/p/special-report-when-florida-police

As an update to my previous post, here's the two guns I'm debating. Similar price cuz the M&P is used. I'm trying them out at the range soon, but in the meantime, what are y'all's thoughts on this?

Saw a pretty sweet deal on a like-new used M&P 9 2.0 the other day. It was $200-$300 below MSRP. Gonna try it out at the range, but are there any risks related to its used status? I can only imagine someone would only return such a quality firearm if it was a lemon or something.

Title basically says it. I have 2 lowers already, would like to buy a 11.5-12.5” upper to make myself an SBR. What steps do I need to take given the new guidance to keep myself out of potential trouble? Are there any of Maryland’s goofy ass barrel restrictions to worry about?

Anyone seen these at any shops in Md?

Everyone’s talking about sbrs and suppressors when I’m trying to know if it’s legal to introduce a saw to a barrel.

What’s the consensus here? I don’t want to SBR anything under 29” but can I legally put a VFG on now?

I'll be getting a threaded barrel and suppressor for my 1911 in the next few days. I know I can hope the barrel drops in or watch YouTube videos for some minor adjustments myself.

Ideally I'd like find a gunsmith to fit the barrel for me... and not just any gunsmith, one who actually is good with a 1911, not some glockhead who says a gun is a gun and not only ruins my barrel, but possibly even my gun when they determine that's the problem, not their lack of experience with a 1911.

Any help pointing me in the right direction is appreciated.

Geissele Automatics Super Duty Mod 1 SBR 11.5″ in 5.56 good to go in Maryland?

Maybe this has been pointed out but I have been waiting for guidance before purchasing. SS shop connected dealers has a notation who is transferring via 4473 and who is still requiring Form 4.

I already own omega 36 multi cal can and another can for small cal from 22 to 17. What other can would you suggest me getting?

TLDR; injunction applies to everyone regardless of plaintiffs.

Form 1/4s etc will remain in a voluntary basis and are not required for ownership, possession or transfer.

Considering MD still requires SBR/SBS to be registered with the ATF to be legal in Maryland, and also views them aa “pistols” instead of banned rifles for some models, this is probably the best win we could’ve seen on this.

Since that law targets guns with cruciform triggers/readily convertible pistols. That makes me wonder what other guns that would include?
