Are private gun sales allowed without a background check in Maryland?

Yes, for all firearms
Yes, but only for rifles and shotguns
No
Yes, but only at gun shows

The correct answer is: No

Private gun sales in Maryland are not allowed without a background check, including sales at gun shows. While some states allow private sales for certain types of firearms, Maryland requires all sales to go through a licensed firearms dealer who conducts a background check. Option A is incorrect because all sales, including private sales, must go through a background check. Option B is incorrect because it implies that private sales are allowed for certain types of firearms, which is not the case in Maryland. Option D is incorrect because it suggests that private sales are only prohibited at gun shows, but in reality they are not allowed at all without a background check in Maryland.
