I was just looking at Maryland's gun laws including the most recent
changes. The focus of the changes seem to be on assault type "military"
looking long guns and restrictions on magazine capacities.

There still is no minimum age requirement to purchase and own a long gun
however and no permits, proof of training or anything is required.

Seems nuts to me in this day and age. The way I read it a 7 year old
can buy a shotgun or a .22.


A buyer must be 18 to purchase a long gun in Maryland.

Actually if that site is right you need to be 18 to buy a long gun
from a dealer by federal law

"Dealers may not sell or deliver a long gun, or ammunition for a long
gun, to any person the dealer knows or has reasonable cause to believe
is under age 18".
Since you need to show ID and fill out a 4473, that is pretty certain.


That's what I said.
