Question In 2004 I was charged with "Theft: $500 Plus Value. I plead "Not Guilty" and the courts disposition was "Guilty". Restitution was paid and the there was no time served. My question is. Can I purchase a firearm in the state of Maryland?
Answer If you have a felony no you can't purchase a firearm. MD is a very strict
state when it comes to firearms. If you can receive a Virginia non-resident
permit with your conviction you should be good to purchase a firearm in MD.
That would mean you don't have a felony maybe a misdemeanor. 5 years need
to pass before you can receive a VA firearm permit with a misdemeanor.
