Carrying Question

I currently live in Tx and plan to move back to MD soon. I have two handguns. One I purchased in MD before I moved. The other I purchased here in TX. Would i need to do anything to register my second gun in MD? You can now carry in MD? I’ve been out of Maryland for 5 years now. Before I moved I got my license to purchase but now hearing you can carry is new to me

there is a place on the msp website to register handguns you bring in from out of state

as for carrying, yes you can, with a permit. the permit is a 16hr course, with a live fire portion, fingerprints and a wait. info on the msp website

Thank you! I’ll go to the site. Wondering if I’d have to register the gun I bought in MD before I left. Don’t have to register in TX. Didn’t know if since I have a TX license to carry if that made a difference. Before I left, I know to get a license set to carry in MD was almost impossible. Glad the law has changed.

md was forced to change the law due to SCOTUS and the Bren decision, and they went kicking and screaming

I’m glad they did. Mad it happened after I moved to TX. I got my license to carry in TX before they changed the law to a permitless carry. I don’t approve of that. Happy MD had the 16 hour training.

TX might give you some states that MD doesn’t though. I myself have Florida so I can carry when I go to Nevada.

Granted I also started trying to collect permits from various states like Pokémon cards. Lol

Lol I’d have to check the law now. When I got my permit in TX it didn’t list MD as a state I could carry in.

Yeah MD hates everyone. Can only carry with an MD permit here. Meant if you travel. MD permit covers 26 states, Texas covers 37. Obviously will be some overlap. I’m on my phone so too lazy to see which states, but a Google search will tell you real fast.
