Hello all. I've lived in the DMV for the past 30 years, Mostly NoVA, but for a number of reasons, I'm considering a move to Maryland (Frederick area). I've tried to compile a list of questions and concerns that I would like to get some clarification on to help me in my decision. Apologies in advance, I'm sure all of these questions are answered in various different threads on the board, but the lack of a single resource or FAQ has left me wanting. I'm just trying to get a solid handle on what kind of hurdles I would be facing should I decide to move to MD. Here goes:
1. AR-15 ban: Am I able to move to the state with firearms/lowers that I purchased in a different state after the MD ban date? Am I able to possess but not purchase?
2. AR-9/PCC: Am I able to purchase and own these firearms so long as the lower will not allow a .223/5.56 round (Something manufactured specifically for 9mm rounds)?
3. AR-10: Am I able to purchase and own these firearms so long as the lower will not allow a .223/5.56 round (Something manufactured specifically for .308 rounds)?
4. Magazine capacity: Limit? Ownership of higher capacity magazines legality but unable to purchase in state?
5. Concealed carry (Firearm): Readily available and granted?
6. Open Carry?
7. Suppressors?
8. SBR?
9. Castle doctrine inside of home?
Are there more things I should take into consideration?
Thanks!

- If so, are there any restrictions on this type of weapon?
- Collapsable stock so long as the total length is sufficient
- Foregrips
- Flash hiders/muzzle breaks
- Barrel weight
- Anything else I am missing
