I just moved in to Baltimore Maryland, from Florida. Going to be attending law school in about a month. I was planning on shipping up my firearms through a FFL, just to be on the safe side, but the first FFL I contacted stated that one of my weapons, an AK47 was "not allowed." However the second FFL I contacted told me contrary, that since it was already registered to me, posession would be no problem.
It seems like the AK series rifles are "restricted" in MD and one would need a permit to purchase?
Further, does one know how to purchase a handgun in MD? I came across the MD state police site and it talked about a necessary completion of a web class and "other requirements" (unstated).
Finally, would it be legal for me to purchase a gun from VA, then bring it in to MD to keep with me? I've been around firearms all my life, and although i'm not above it, taking another course in MD would be a hassle.
I realize the violation of a gun law may jeapordize my career, so I'm doing all I can to avoid it.
I also already checked google and read up on basic gun laws (ie. the sale of magazines above 20rds is not permitted, but posession is not prohibited).
Any insights would be appreciated!
