Buying a gun in Maryland: good to know
- Waiting period
- 7 days for regulated firearms (handguns and regulated long guns).
- Handgun purchase permit
- Yes. Handgun buyers need a Handgun Qualification License (HQL), which involves training and fingerprints.
- Shipping and online purchases
- Magazines over 10 rounds and banned 'assault weapons' can't be sold to MD buyers. Handgun buyers need an HQL, and Maryland's handgun roster applies to new handguns.
How an FFL transfer works
When you buy a gun online or from someone in another state, it ships to a local licensed dealer (an FFL) instead of your door. The dealer logs it in, you fill out ATF Form 4473 and pass the background check, and then you take it home. Dealers charge a transfer fee for this, often $20 to $75. Call first: ask whether they accept transfers from your seller, what the fee is, and whether they need the seller to email a copy of their license.
