How to Buy a Gun in Maryland
Buying a gun in Maryland is a relatively simple process, but there are a few things you need to do to make sure you do it legally. First, you need to be at least 18 years old to purchase a long gun and 21 years old to purchase a handgun. You also need to have a valid Maryland Handgun Qualification License (HQL) if you want to buy a handgun. To get an HQL, you need to take a gun safety course and pass a background check.
