Can I buy a new handgun in Md. with a C&R not a HQL?

[Jack Ryan]

A local gunshop told me this, last weekend. I find it hard to believe. If true its great cause I have a C&R.

True or false?

AFAIK,you can buy a C&R handgun in Md.,but not a "new" handgun without an HQL.

 

[Dave91]

That is false. C&R guns are exempt, not C&R holders.

I'm pretty sure that the rules say that if you buy a C&R handgun from an FFL or a Private Party in MD, then it has to go through all the normal regulated rigamarole, which now also means you need an HQL and there's a 10 round mag capacity limit.

However, if you buy a C&R handgun from a C&R holder or an FFL outside of MD, then you're good to go. Even so far as having the gun shipped right to you. However, if the Magazines hold more than 10 rounds, you cannot have those shipped to you. You would need to take posession or those out of state.

I am not a lawyer, and if I were, my head probably would have exploded by now.

 

[Jack Ryan]

He was saying I could buy any new regulated firearm with a just a C&R license, that a HQL was not needed from C&R license holders.

 

[Alphabrew]

You need an HQL unless the handgun is a C&R gun.

I.e. the buyer doesn't need an HQL nor a C&R license to buy a C&R handgun.

However,

If the buyer and seller are within MD, all Maryland laws have to be abided by. No different from before.

He wasnt talking about C&R guns. He was talking about new handguns.

He wasnt talking about C&R guns. He was talking about new handguns.

Then he was wrong.

Jack From what you wrote, the guy is wrong.


For Handguns:
Handgun must be on the MD handgun roster (or be older than ??? date, what was it? 1985?)

Buying a new handgun (or any used NON C&R) in MD from FFL
Buyer needs an HQL and show it to FFL to start the transfer.

Buying a new (or any used NON C&R) handgun from outside of MD
Buyer must have it shipped to an FFL and buyer must to show that FFL your HQL to start the tranfer process. FFL will charge you a fee to do this. Set it up with them prior to sale/shipping.

Buying a new (or any used NON C&R) handgun from anyone individual (not FFL)
You need to bring it to an FFL to do the transfer or an MSP barracks at which time the buyer must show his HQL

Buying a C&R from an FFL within MD,
Buyer need not have a C&R and there is a check box on the MSP form for C&R, Buyer need not have HQL.

Buying a C&R from an individual within MD,
Buyer need not have C&R, Buyer and seller go to either an FFL or MSP barracks to do the transfer. There is a check box on the MSP form for C&R, Buyer need not have HQL. MSP is $10 FFL will charge you a fee to do this. Set it up with them prior to sale/shipping.

Buying a C&R from outside MD by a non-C&R holder.
Buyer must have it shipped to FFL, there is a check box on the MSP form for C&R, Buyer need not have HQL. FFL will charge you a fee to do this. Set it up with them prior to sale/shipping.

Buying a C&R from outside MD by a C&R holder.
Buyer is a C&R holder and also an FFL03 (which is which is what C&R holder is). They can receive shipments of C&R items which are not deemed to be illegal within the state. Seller must be willing to deal with C&R holders in MD (some don't). Seller ships C&R item to C&R holder. No MSP form needed as transfer is not done within the state. C&R holder logs item in his/her log book.

If I got this wrong, let me ,know and I'll edit.

Melnic: Looks like you got it all down in one post. We should preserve your response for reference.

 

[Jack Ryan]

This guy is normally pretty right on but I guess he is misunderstanding the power of a C&R permit.

I was hoping he was right.

Thanks for the responses.
