It is when you took possession of it. Take your pink copy with the yes and no circles and carefully read the one at the bottom where it asks "have you taken possession of a regulate firearm in they last 30 days?"

Then goto the MSP site and fill out the waiver for becoming a "Designated Collector of Regulated Firearms." Once you fill this out, have it notarized and mail it it, you'll get a letter back from MSP that exempts you from buying one regulated gun every 30 days. This way you can answer N/A to that since it will not apply to you. You can fill out paper work -7 days before your 30 are up and because of the waiter period you'll take possession in 30 days so 30 days becomes something like 21 days depending on business days.

do this ASAP and never worry about the stupid 30 days http://www.mdsp.org/Downloads/Collector_Application_Affidavit.pdf

Yes, I'd be happy to ... it's not transfers... it's purchases. I don't feel like looking it up, but the law is very specific. Only purchases are regulated to once every 30 days. Transfers are not purchases. I can't remember who told me the other day that the "law didn't matter." Clearly, it does.

Can the transfer of a regulated firearm be conducted between two family members?
Yes, this type of transaction is considered a gift. The law stipulates, if the regulated firearm is a gift to the purchaser’s, spouse, parent, grandparent, grandchild, sibling, or child, the recipient shall:
(1) Complete an application to purchase or transfer a regulated firearm; and
(2) Forward the application to the Secretary of the State Police within 5 days after receipt of the regulated firearm

dont know whats the process.. but once they fill out the application.. it will be in the system. now the question is.. do they consider it purchase?!?

i have a friend to filled out an application and decided to cancel it the next day. he found a new gun he wanted the following week. fill out the application and came back that he has to wait 30 days. no firearms where transfered but it still in the system that he "applied" for one.

to the OP. give it a try.. purchase a regulated gun and see.. you may get it within the 7 day or 30 days after.

This.

I did my collector application after my first purchase and it's been a godsend in this messed up state. Huzzah to buying multiple stripped AR lowers, a pistol and getting my NODAK AK receivers transfered...on the same day.

the only problem is you can now bankrupt yourself buying buys. but in most cases your retirement accounts and gun collection can't be touched in bankruptcy court

Every member on here should be required to fill out the "Designated Regulated Firearms Collector Form" It is also like a background check so if you are one of these **** ups that tries to get guns illegally from members we'll know.

Now that you will have two regulated firearms under your belt, fill out the MD collectors affadavit.

Which will alleviate the 30 days BS.

you have to wait a good idea is to get the collector status to avoid this it takes a while to get but worth it.

 

[drewhall]

Didn't take me much time at all...

 

[The Shooter]

Thanks for the input guys.

You could get a C&R FFL instead. It covers Maryland's designated collector status and offers so much more.

Two differnt things. Don't think md will bypass the 30 day wait with the ffl03. Unless you buying c&r firearms.

The 03 FFL covers interstate transactions. Anything in the state of MD is still covered by MD law.

The collector's affadavit removes the 30 day rule from the equation of transactions within MD.

I got that part. Is buying c&r items still need the 30 day wait or not? That is buying from interstate.
Sorry don't have ffl03 license and only know few things about it. I need to apply for one myself.
