r/MDGuns

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.

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

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.

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

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?

General Election is November 3 (vote early if needed). Figured I’d write down the gun record before then.

June 2024, Supreme Court killed the ATF bump-stock rule, 6–3. Biden’s DOJ was the one defending it. Majority was the Republican appointees.

Brace rule got vacated the same month. Trump DOJ dropped the appeal July 17, 2025. ATF has a proposal out to delete it.

June 2026 they struck Hawaii’s thing where you can’t carry on private property open to the public unless the owner says yes. Wolford, 6–3, same split. That’s the idea behind part of our SB 1.

Hemani came out the same month and limited the federal drug-user gun ban for that one guy. Judgment was 9–0, so I’m not calling that a party win.

Congress zeroed the $200 NFA tax on suppressors, SBRs, and SBSs in the 2025 bill. Texas court said the registration scheme in that case can’t stand once the tax is gone.

DOJ said in October they’re not appealing. Not a nationwide NFA repeal. August 2026 they also turned the old 925(c) rights-restoration process back on. It had been unfunded since 1992. Phased, and Maryland law still applies.

Democrats put up the Assault Weapons Ban of 2025. McBath, Schiff, Murphy, Blumenthal. Named guns plus magazines. No hearing. Dead because Republicans have the House and the filibuster.

Here in our state, Moore signed SB 1 in 2023. Transit, parks, healthcare, stadiums, demonstrations, and a default ban on private property that’s open to the public.

Fourth Circuit in January 2026 kept most of the location bans and threw out the private-property rule.

This year he signed SB 334. Can’t sell or transfer Glock-style pistols starting January 1, 2027. Judge denied an injunction September 25. What you already own you can keep.

Cox is the Republican on the ballot, his running mate is Robert Krop, owns The Machine Gun Nest in Frederick. He is not flipping the General Assembly. He also isn’t the guy signing the next one of these anti gun bills.

If you don’t like Cox on other stuff then fine.

On the gun bills it’s been Democrats writing them and defending them, and Republicans on the votes and the appeals that have actually knocked rules down.

Bonus points if it's an M16 clone!

I will be living alone at some point as a 24y/o female and don’t really know how to go about obtaining a firearm legally for home safety & protection. Can anyone explain this process to me? I want to look into a firearm preferably a pistol since it’s just for protection in case anything happens.

I’ve seen some recommend just doing the concealed carry class since it covers the license, and some say to just do the license since I don’t have the intent to carry outside of my home.

Just looking for a little lesson & recommendations. Thanks.

I heard from someone at a LGS that MSP was going to come out with a list of banned Glock style guns on November 1st. Is this true and if it is, can someone provide the list here please?

Later this year I’m planning to visit my friend in MD and I’m traveling from PA with a handgun and rifle. The idea is we meet at the range in MD, then go back to their house for dinner before I return home to PA. Ive looked at past posts and MD law but still confused if this is allowed or if i can only travel from PA to MD range and then back to PA.

Today I'm waiting on my Nerd light retention holster in emt red and a mag pouch to come. Super excited because it's my first one. My belt arrived 2 days ago from Kore Essentials.

I had to rush the holster here before my range day/birthday next week. Looking forward to practicing with it at the range.

Any advice?

Will the Walker's Razor Gel Ear Pads fit the ALPHA 360?
