I understand that we are permitted to possess them in state, but not buy them in state. What's the regulation on shipping them out? Does it have to go to an FFL? Or is it dependant on the regulations in the destination?

If you're shipping them, I imagine you are selling them....which is a big no-no.
"A person may not manufacture, sell, offer for sale, purchase, receive, or transfer a detachable magazine that has a capacity of more than 10 rounds of ammunition for a firearm."
Correct me if I'm wrong everyone, but my understanding is that you cannot put these up for sale in Maryland, even if intend to sell them to a buyer out of state.

The exact verbage of the law is what I was looking for but can't find on MSP's website. So you can only give them away or is that also disallowed?
That would be a transfer. Can't do it.
Gotcha. Would it be any different selling a regulated firearm which comes from the factory with such magazines?

There is no stipulation at all whether you're selling a high capacity magazine or not, if you're shipping said magazine, you're transferring it. The law should read: "A criminal may not manufacture, sell, offer for sale, purchase, receive, or transfer a detachable magazine that has a capacity of more than 10 rounds of ammunition for a firearm."A person may not manufacture, sell, offer for sale, purchase, receive, or transfer a detachable magazine that has a capacity of more than 10 rounds of ammunition for a firearm.
I throw mine away .
For example, you can't even sell a Browning Hi-Power through Gun Broker, a national gun auction website because even if you want to sell a gun to someone in a state where such guns and magazines are perfectly normal, and legal, that niggling word transfer means you can't take the gun and the magazine and convey it to another in Maryland or in any other state, or Mars; neither can you receive it from from another, even if it's your gun and magazine.
I don’t know why this standard magazine, high capacity magazine terminology use is an issue. At one time handguns and rifles fed from magazines holding 10 rounds or less. When the Smiths, Glocks, High Power (already around) came around and got popular they were touted as having high capacity magazines. All over the firearm press, among shooters, manufacturers, etc.. Its documented. The term standard capacity is not fooling anyone and by law it looks like any capacity over 10 rounds is considered high capacity. We know the standard capacity of some pistols are high capacity.
If I buy a Para mag and the merchant wants to know what capacity I want, if I state “standard capacity” I get a 10 rounder. Sorry, let’s call them what they are.
Yeah. I make it a policy not to sell guns, but if I were to sell them (and again, I wouldn't), I would sell it with whatever magazines it came with. It's ridiculous to limit it to ten rounds.And you CAN take it out of state and deliver it to an FFL for transfer to a non-MD resident. You could even take the mags and offer them for sale once you are out of the state.
