How can a Maryland resident purchase a handgun from another state?

Direct purchase
Through a licensed firearms dealer in Maryland
Online without restrictions
It is not permitted

The correct answer is: Through a licensed firearms dealer in Maryland

A Maryland resident cannot purchase a handgun directly from another state (option A) because it is against federal law for a resident of one state to purchase a handgun in another state. Additionally, option C is incorrect because online purchases of firearms are subject to the same laws and restrictions as in-person purchases. Option D is also incorrect as Maryland residents may legally purchase handguns through a licensed firearms dealer, but cannot do so directly from another state. Option B is the only correct answer because it is the only option that adheres to federal laws and regulations.
