What is considered a 'regulated firearm' in Maryland?

All firearms
Handguns and assault weapons only
Rifles and shotguns only
Historical replicas only

The correct answer is: Handguns and assault weapons only

In Maryland, there are strict regulations on firearm ownership and possession. While options A and D may seem plausible, they are in fact incorrect. Option A, "all firearms," is too broad and does not accurately reflect Maryland's laws. Option D, "historical replicas only," is also incorrect, as Maryland's laws apply to all types of firearms, both modern and historical. Option C, "rifles and shotguns only," is a common misconception. While rifles and shotguns do have some regulations, they are not considered "regulated firearms" in Maryland. The correct answer, option B, "handguns and assault weapons only," accurately reflects Maryland's definition of a regulated firearm, which includes handguns and semi-automatic assault weapons.
