Is a permit required to purchase a rifle or shotgun in Maryland?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for shotguns

  4. Only for rifles

The correct answer is: No

In Maryland, a permit is not required to purchase a rifle or shotgun. The state does impose regulations regarding the purchase and sale of firearms, including background checks and waiting periods, but for non-regulated firearms like rifles and shotguns, a permit is not necessary. This regulation acknowledges that while safety measures are important, the state does not require a specific permit for these types of firearms, distinguishing them from handguns, which do necessitate a permit.
