Are private sales of handguns permitted without a background check in Maryland?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only for antique handguns

  4. Yes, but only between family members

The correct answer is: No

In Maryland, private sales of handguns are not permitted without a background check. While antique handguns may not require a background check, this option is not correct because it does not apply to all private sales of handguns. The same can be said for sales between family members, as this exception also does not apply to all private sales. It is important for all private sales of handguns to go through a background check to ensure the safety of all involved.
