I'm aware of this but some stores say that it is the law and they require you or they won't transfer the gun. Their website has almost nothing on it and when you call it goes to a voicemail. So I was looking for people's experiencesLocks are still required by Maryland law.
The list of locks permitted has been expanded. Omega-style chamber locks are no longer the only option.
There is no legal requirement that you purchase a gun lock from the dealer for each gun you buy. Legally you just have to have one when you leave the store.
My answer to that would be no but I'm guessing they haven't thought that far ahead.Q: Is a gun lock still required if you have a HGP?
Q: Is a gun lock still required if you have a HGP?
When I bought my first gun they did require it to be installed leaving the store, so obviously things have changed but that's how it was. Some FFLs just wanted you to have it some FFL is required you to buy one with every gun it was all over the placeI don't see a reason to think they are related.
The requirement to have a lock has nothing to do with transport or carry. You are not required to put it in the gun when you leave the store, just have it in your possession. Nor are you required to use it while transporting the gun if you do not have a permit.
Theoretically, it is about safe storage when the gun is not in your possession (ie at home). Having an HGP would be irrelevant.
"They" the gun store?When I bought my first gun they did require it to be installed leaving the store
That would be they the gun store, I don't think I've mentioned the state once"They" the gun store?
Or "They" the State of Maryland?
That's good, I had to call around several stores until I settled on united where all they wanted was for me to have it they didn't require me to buy it from them. There's a lock barring thread because of thisI have never had an FFL mention a lock to me, at all. Ever.
Thanks, good info. The only time I use a lock is when I’m transporting across state lines.
