What is required to legally transport a firearm across state lines into Maryland?

  1. Notification of the state police

  2. The firearm must be unloaded and stored in a locked container

  3. A special transportation permit

  4. No special requirements as long as you have a permit from your state

The correct answer is: The firearm must be unloaded and stored in a locked container

Traveling with a firearm can be a complex process, especially when crossing state lines. In order to legally transport a firearm into Maryland, the firearm must be unloaded and stored in a locked container. This is to ensure the safety of those around you and to prevent any accidental discharge during the transportation process. Options A and C are incorrect as Maryland does not require any specific notifications or permits for firearm transportation. Option D may seem like a possible answer, but it is incorrect as each state has different laws and regulations regarding firearms, and a permit from one state may not be recognized or accepted in another state. Therefore, the safest and most legally sound option is to ensure the firearm is unloaded and stored in a locked container while crossing state lines into Maryland.
