Maryland gun laws V. Colorado gun laws

[pepito]

So I maybe moving to Maryland in the next few months. From following the boards and Dr. Google, it seems like that state has some crazy gun laws such as the magazine round limit to 10 and "assault rifle bans."
That being said all of my magazines hold more than 10 rounds, I possess a few suppressors, an SBR, and around 10k worth of ammo.
Could someone please enlighten me on what I should / can do with my weapons and ammo? I don't want any run ins with the laws while I'm on the range out there.
Feel free to flame and toss in your 2 cents. This move is not necessarily by choice, just where fate and Big Army wants to send me.
Cheers

I would get a secure storage unit out here, or a trusted friend, and leave all of the "evil stuff" here. While circumstances may be forcing you to move there (hopefully temporarily), nothing says you can't come back after you've put in your time. No sense in getting rid of good guns.

Or alternatively, you could do the Russian thing and just keep a really nice garden with carnations that come up every year smelling ever-so-slightly of CLR and Varget...

Can you leave them with a parent or wife's parent? ( suppressors and SBR secured in a safe they do not have access to)

-"It is unlawful to possess, sell, offer for sale, transfer, receive, or transport into the State any “assault weapon.” Current owners may possess such a weapon if it was registered with the Secretary of the State Police before August 1, 1994. A law enforcement unit may seize as contraband and dispose of any assault weapon transported, sold, transferred, purchased, received, or possessed in the State. "
-It is unlawful to sell, offer for sale, purchase, receive, or transfer any detachable firearm magazine (except a tubular magazine for a .22) that will hold more than 10 rounds. -A person who moves into the state must have all regulated firearms registered with the Secretary within 90 days after establishing residency.
-Except as provided under section 4-303(b) a person may not: transport an assault weapon into Maryland, or possess, sell, offer to sell, transfer, purchase, or receive an assault weapon. An assault weapon means: an assault long gun, assault pistol, or a copycat weapon. A copycat weapon is: (has) any of the two following characteristics a folding stock, a grenade launcher (or flare launcher), a flash suppressor; semiautomatic centerfire rifle/semiautomatic centerfire pistol that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds of ammunition; a semiautomatic centerfire rifle that has an over length of less than 29 inches; a semiautomatic shotgun that has a folding stock or a revolving cylinder.

I don't see any restrictions on suppressors, but now I have a LOT of 5.56 ammo I need to prep for storage.

+1 on finding a place/trusted person to keep your toys. Being Army myself, thanks to ya.

My wife has had multiple opportunities over the years to move back east or to CA for her work. I always reply; "We will have to call every day and I will miss you." But when our least favorite Uncle is the boss, your choices are limited.

I'm currently holding some of my nephew's toys while he is back east with the USMC.

Keep us posted. I would be glad to offer to hold your goods, but I know you don't know me and depending on how long you're back there and what happens in CO, you might have to come to MT to get them.

Born and raised in Baltimore. IMO, you do not want to move to Maryland.

Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia are all much better choices for all kinds of reasons. I just had a conversation with a friend living in Carroll County. Gov. O'Malley (former Mayor of Baltimore and if he had Bloomberg's money, would be just as dangerous) just signed into law a new gasoline tax which will raise the per gallon price more than 20 cents over the next three years.

Just about any place you will need to be in Maryland is easily reached from one of the other, above mentioned states.

Good luck with your move.

I agree with cstone, stay out of MD. Depending on where you will be working, look at surrounding states, PA, VA, DE, possibly even WV. I know several people currently living in MD that can't get out soon enough.
