Hey everyone this is my first post please bare with me . I just turned 18 and I’m looking to purchase my first rifle with my own money . I don’t know if it’s acceptable to ask a gun store employee about the law and get weird looks so here’s my 2nd best option . I know in Maryland you have to be 21 to purchase “assault weapons “ but with HBAR’s being excluded from the ban are they unregulated and eligible to be purchased by some who is 18 or are still subject to the 21 year restriction. Any help would be greatly appreciated
