I will not be crass and tell you go get your shinebox
This is the second time ever in my life that I’ve heard this saying. Coincidentally, the second time in the past week, too. And both were here on MDS. Where does anyone actually use this saying or know what it means? I had to google it to know what it was supposed to mean. I found it, but it’s either way out of date or only makes sense in the sticks. Not sure. But I don’t know anywhere in civilized 2020 where it successfully lands on an intended target.
Cannot take possession within the state. You can go out of state and purchase and bring back into the state but the way the law is written you cannot purchase in state for delivery out of state due to a ruling that by doing that you are circumventing the “intent” of the law.

So how do I get a gun shipped to an FFL if it comes standard with a mag above 10 rounds? What’s the trick?
Will the FFL just toss the mags or will they just return to sender?
They probably sell them out of state.
So, what will the FFL do when they receive a gun with mags greater than 10 rounds? Will they notify me that they can only give me the gun...just trying to figure out the options or protocol.
This is something you discuss with the FFL before you setup a transfer, every FFL handles this a different way.
Makes sense, thanks for the clarity. I’ll call my
Local ones and see what the protocol is. Problem is, some sites won’t even allow me to ship to MD because of the mag law.
Your best bet is to find a good shop fairly local to you and build a relationship. (that does not mean just using them for transfers because you got a better deal from someone else ) Once you become a regular customer, you might find that they work with you on prices to be competitive with buying online (and paying shipping and transfer fees), especially if you pay cash. Plus, that supports a local business.
They will have access to distributors that do ship to MD. You'll know their mag policy in advance. Maybe they'll pin for you, or maybe knock a few bucks off the price since they will be keeping the mags.
As with most things, local is better
Purchase, transfer, manufacture, etc....everything except posession is prohibited. Buy the mags out of state and bring them home (and to the range...wherever) is pefectly legal...for now. You can purchase the gun (if it's on the roster), but just cannot accept the mags that come with it. Take a trip to any of the neighboring states in America and buy your mags.
Hi BeoBill, can you elaborate on scratching VA off the list? Does that mean as a MD resident I cannot buy the magazines in VA?
Since the state legislature joined the executive I’m going deep into Bloomberg-financed gum-grabbing Dem/Blue mode, mag capacity limits there are just a matter of time.
