Not really clear on what you are asking. What will be the purpose of the gun?
SBRs are SBRs. Pistols are pistols.

Better hurry and get one. In Maryland you won't be able to have those soon..............
Not necessarily SBR's but there are some carbines on the roster 
Seriously. NOT TODAY, SATAN.
But really, let's not called braced pistols "SBRs", please. Unless you'd like them to be regulated that way, anyways.
the black one
That's short, with the thing that goes up?
What happened on Sine Die? I have not been briefed. Any new encroachments on 2A rights that I should be aware of? Someone said I lived under a rock because I was confused about the plastic bag thing in AACo. I live in my own little world of children's sports, house maintenance, and when I have any time shooting, so I'm usually late to the party.
Not asking Melnic directly just anyone.
I took it that SG was calling the Tool a dumocrat troll.

Sine Die is adjournment of the MGA for the year. Once we pass that, we don't have to worry about new, unconstitutional, gun laws until the next year.
Every legislative session we get new members asking very suspicious questions. It almost seems like they might be anti-gun people working in Analpolis (sic) trying to bait us. The OP screams of that type of person, but about four months late.
Ah I got that it was the end of the session just curious if I missed any new laws I need to be concerned with. Like things that were legal that are no longer legal, they like to pull that one a lot. You can PM me if you don't want to post it here.
And I agree that people with low post counts asking legal questions can be perceived as sketchy, especially when they haven't introduced themselves and just joined 2 weeks ago.
Looks like the Gov. has until May 28th to sign/veto anything, and then they should take effect on October 1st?
No such abomination exists.
SBR = Short Barreled RIFLE.
PISTOL = a handgun.

Except for Maryland , where all ( < 16 inch bbl SBR are already considered Pistols in addition to being Rifles .
So in that vein , any or all of them .

Yup. When in the process of tranport, SBRs fall under the same regs as pistols in Merryland.

Worth noting the "considered pistol" part of MD law has nothing to do with what is banned and what is not. That only affects the laws regarding transport, not what is and isn't banned in the Public Safety (gps) article.
