Doesn't look like it will allow that any longer... original post may be too old.
Thanks for the typo identification though.

Bump for all the new members and another voice that thinks this should be a sticky.

A great thread. MSI's founder, Henry Heymering, compiled something similar and perhaps more extensive some years back. I wish I had the wherewithal to find it at present, so I could link it here.
Agreed! MUCH thanks!
Be neat to see this put on a chrono / dateline graph and with a contrasting graph showing the steady rise in violent crime and murder rates!

Outstanding. Thank you for posting that. I'm going to attach the PDF here as well, in case his site should stop hosting it in the future.
Rest in peace, Mr. Heymering.

Here is another "history of Maryland gun laws" this is from an unfriendly source Capitol News Service:
cnsmaryland.org
History of Gun Legislation in Maryland
Gov. Martin O'Malley's new gun legislation will be heard on the Senate next week. His bill would be one in a long line of gun legislation in Maryland that dates back to at least 1886.

Thanks Dr. M, I printed it out and I keep it with my HQL, CC, and firearm info folder!
Will add an update in October with the new infringements heaped upon the law abiding of the formerly Free State.
Members should quote the latest version of the thread's topic or signify the quote #43, as a "last person out, turn off the lights" so it doesn't get buried.
Adding this as a note so I can find it again. For the family exemption to the transfer of long-guns between family members in MD, the official definition of immediate family member is:
“Immediate family member” means a spouse, a parent, a stepparent, a grandparent, a stepgrandparent, an aunt, an uncle, a sibling, a stepsibling, a child, a stepchild, a grandchild, a stepgrandchild, a niece, or a nephew, as related by blood or marriage."
