Answer
According to federal firearm codes you are allowed to purchase firearms.  However, Maryland has very strict firearm laws. They may want you to receive a permit before you can purchase a firearm in that state.  If for some reason you fail the NICS check appeal it and prove you had your conviction was expunged.

Good Luck
