Stupid question (and I think I know the answer, unfortunately)... but does the list of banned semi-autos also apply to Class III purchases (i.e. if all semi-auto AKs are banned, does that mean I can't buy a full-auto as well)?
NFA weapons are not included IIRC.
If you legally possessed the firearm before Oct 1, then yes you can.
IANAL
I would like to get a confirmation that if I am a resident of MD and have handguns and rifles on the regulated and/or assault weapon list that there is no requirement to register them if they were purchased before 1 Oct 2013. Are these all grandfathered in?

I did read it, but it says, "Assault" weapons and "copycat" firearms possessed as of October 1, 2013, will be "grandfathered" in, with no registration requirement,". I asked the question because it does not mention 'regulated' firearms which includes all handguns as well as assault weapons and copycats firearms. Maybe my interpretation was wrong but that is why I asked the question.
Number 8 of the original post says any regulated weapon brought into the state will need to be registered. So looks like you will need to register them. Registration is switching from optional to mandatory for regulated weapons after oct 1.
Registration only applies to those moving into the state of MD and establishing permanent residence after Oct 1. If you are a current resident you ARE NOT required to register any firearm after Oct 1.
We're famous folks, if not for the reason we'd like.
