Firearms
Buying Process
Firearms in the state of Maryland can be defined in one of two ways: non-regulated and regulated. Non-regulated firearms include most rifles and shotguns, while regulated firearms include most handguns and revolvers and require a Handgun Qualification License.
Buying Process
Non-Regulated Firearm Sale
A non-regulated firearm sale will forgo the Maryland State Police background check and waiting period. Instead, we will use the same Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) form described above. We can contact a BATFE hotline and perform an instant background check, and once we’re allowed to proceed, you can leave the store with your new purchase.
Buying Process
Regulated Firearms
As of October 1, 2013, the process of purchasing a regulated firearm in the state of Maryland has changed. Purchasers must possess a valid Handgun Qualification License (HQL), or qualify for an exemption. For more information on the HQL or reasons for exemption, visit the Maryland State Police website.
- Sign up for an upcoming Handgun Qualification License class at FreeState.
What to Bring When Buying a Firearm
To make the process as easy as possible, please bring the following when you plan to purchase or transfer a firearm:
-
Valid (not expired) driver’s license or other government-issued ID with current residence and photograph
- Permanent resident card if applicable
-
Change of address card/vehicle registration/voter registration (if applicable)
-
Maryland Handgun Qualification License (for regulated firearm purchases)
-
Military or Police ID (if applicable – for exemption purposes)
-
Completed Maryland 77R Application (bring application number and PIN)
You’ll need to complete a few forms for the state of Maryland, the BATFE, and our records. Once the paperwork is completed, there will be a mandatory seven-day waiting period for regulated firearms to ensure you have not been disapproved to own a firearm. After the waiting period, you will receive an email from MSP to come in and pick up your firearm.
