    I'm not an expert on legality but I would think that's good to go in MD, but you'd need a $5 tax stamp. I don't think that's a SBS because it has a pistol grip.

    I wonder if MD would pull the "not on the handgun roster" card. :rolleyes:

    I think that's an AOW and not a handgun, but again I'm not well versed on legality. Everything good is illegal so who knows? Maryland would classify that as a nuclear bomb if they could ban it easier.

    I know what WE consider it. Of course, given the fact that they are considering SBR's BOTH handguns AND rifles, what it to keep them from calling this a handgun AND and AOW?

    They were legal in MD and considered a AOW provided they were built without a stock.
    With the new MDSP ruling I don't know what will happen with the AOW classification because it is NOT a SBS with out a stock.

    Good Luck.

    The new MSP Advisory states……."A person may not possess a SBS or SBR in Maryland unless that person is an 1.LEO 2. Member Armed Forces 3. Warden or C.O. 4. Sheriff or Deputy Sheriff. (or a citizen that has registered said weapon with the Federal Government in accordance with Federal law.) Additionally because PS 5-401© uses the definition of handgun from CR 4-201, a SBS or SBR must be approved by the HRB before manufactured for distribution or sale in Maryland."

    Seems pretty clear that your example would be considered a regulated hand gun and thus has to be approved and placed on the Handgun Roster.

    Maryland Law defines a SBS as "One with one or both barrels measuring less than 18 inches." or an overall length of less than 26 inches and manufactured from a rifle either by altercation or modification."

    Thanks for breaking it down for me. Thanks for all the input from everyone else. I agree if I want it I probably can't now in md...

    I don't believe anyone said that. If you want it, just petition the roster board for approval. Or, talk to some dealers about the possibility of getting one with no barrel less than 16 inches in length (would not be a handgun then.)

    IMHO, that is a direct violation of the 2nd amendment. 2A protects us from the government. MD is saying that only government enforcers can have the good guns.
