Can an individual from another state purchase a handgun in Maryland?

  1. Yes, with no restrictions

  2. Yes, if they have a HQL from their state

  3. No, only Maryland residents can purchase

  4. Yes, but only through a licensed dealer

The correct answer is: No, only Maryland residents can purchase

Individuals from another state are not allowed to purchase a handgun in Maryland, as only Maryland residents are legally permitted to purchase handguns within the state. This is because Maryland has strict gun control laws and only residents who have proved to meet the state's requirements and background checks are allowed to purchase handguns. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they suggest that an individual from another state can purchase a handgun in Maryland, which is not true.
