Virginia.
less tax and you should still be able to register it here in Maryland.

Though, I still think you might need a dealer to handle the transaction.

Oh hell no, way overpriced and keeps an ammo purchased log which isn't really required.

Keep Shooting in Waldorf. They don't have a store front, so you have to make an appointment. They're awesome, and Mario is cool as hell!

Still need to go through a FFL. Adding transfer fees, spent shell casing fees, MSP fees, etc. Probably easier to either order online, or buy from a FFL in MD.

Fred's gets a big NO in my book.

Call me a pessimist; but I think something is gonna rear its ugly head to screw it up.

Meh, I don't know. Based on the judge's wording it seems like it'll be pretty hard for the state to prove that they need the stay.

I didn't read up on the whole thing. Is Maryland gonna use fees to make it tough to get a CCW; ie; $150/year?

I wouldn't doubt it. When they were debating it in Annapolis one person kept asking how much money they could make from issuing CCW permits.

I would imagine that if they are "forced" into issuing them, they would use it to put a dent in the deficit.

They could do things like make the renewal time shorter. For example, my Utah permit was only $50, and I don't have to renew it for 5 years. After 5 years it's only $15.

Maryland does not have a pistol registry. A MD resident can not go to Virginia to buy a gun at a gun shop.

It always puzzled me that living in Waldorf wasn't a "good & substantial reason"...

No doubt they will try, but it will come back on them in a quick hurry. It'll be very hard for them to charge more than they have been charging and justify it without it being seen as an extreme burden on those folks who can't afford the increased rates...which, in many cases are the folks who would argue that they live in areas where they need it the most.

I though all pistols coming into MD through FFL Transfers had to be 'fingerprinted' - aka fired and shell casing photos cataloged with the firearm make ans serial

I don't think they will try to charge more, I see it as much more likely they will try and set up some sort of labyrinthine set up like DC. Just make the process so tedious and drawn out, "now that just anyone can get one, we have to take thesxe extra steps to make sure the folks who do are not going off half cocked", that very few people will make it through.

Yes they can, just not a regulated firearm.
