SB1 (2023) - Criminal Law - Wearing, Carrying, or Transporting Firearms - Restrictions (Gun Safety Act of 2023)

I thought if you had a current permit (not needing renewal before October 1), prohibition didn't apply until renewal. If so, is it going to be a FFA where you won't know who is who until you're detained and then released after verification?

You thought wrong, the law applies to everyone, equally on Oct 1, 2023 regardless of when your permit gets renewed.

I'm assuming we should expect the MSPD to provide us with an above average amount of enforcement in the month of October. I wonder how that's gonna go. What a bummer.
As for my comment about moving out of Maryalnd, I understand not everyone can do that. I can't even. But it "sounded" nice.

No, the rank and file won't even be notified.

So went SB1 goes into effect on 1 October of this year, they've made it a requirement now to transport all long guns in a locked container... just like the Federal “Firearms Owners' Protection Act” as amended in 1986.

So... locked container? Will simply installing a hasp and a padlock on a plastic rifle case meet that new requirement under Maryland's SB1?

I would think so. It is keeping in the spirit of the new requirement, no?

Fixed (ISTJs rule!)

And I agree with you

Wait, what?? I wasn't tracking this at all?? Even with a wear and carry??

Yes. See the bottom of page 3 of the .pdf I attached

Yes. See the bottom of page 3 of the .pdf I attached

This will potentially trip up almost every hunter and fudd moving about the free state.

It says rifles and shotguns are "still" required to be transported in a locked container.....that is not the law now, so what does "still" mean?

 

[strapped]

I believe someone had mentioned before that SB1 will be translated into COMAR at some point, has this happened yet?

MSP probably won’t give a sh*t. Their main gig is traffic enforcement.

That is just mentioning it again, as outlined in the paragraph above the bottom of page 3 of the .pdf. See my bolding below:

Criminal Law Article §4-111 This section defines areas where firearms (all firearms not simply handguns) are prohibited. It lists very limited exceptions for locations (§4-111 (B)), and the way firearms are carried or transported. Under §4-111 (B) (11)(I) & (II), all firearms must be in a locked container, or in the case of a handgun being carried or transported by a person possessing a valid permit to wear and carry a handgun, the handgun must be worn, carried or transported within the limitations imposed under §5-307 of the Public Safety Article.

Public Safety Article §5-307 For persons who possess a valid Maryland handgun wear and carry permit, a handgun being transported must be either under or within an article of clothing OR within an enclosed case. A locked container for a handgun is not required. However, rifles and shotguns are still required to be transported in a locked container.

Yep.

Don’t make it worse than it is. The transport in a vehicle section is an exception from the bans. If you are not in a banned area the exception does not apply and you can transport as you did before sb1

Thanks for the follow up/clarity on this!! I was really confused for a minute trying to figure out if my rifle range bags could be locked, haha!

Yes, thank you for clarifying! I was looking at my nice cases and thinking of a trip to friends farm with some toys and what a real PITA this was going to be, and how it made absolutely no sense addressing crime etc.
