FAQ

The only method to restore firearm rights is by obtaining a pardon. A pardon is an official act of forgiveness granted by the Governor of Maryland, which restores some civil liberties, including the right to possess firearms, to people who have been convicted.

Second Amendment Rights in Maryland In Maryland, individuals who want to own a firearm must go through a background check. This applies whether you are buying a gun from a store or a private seller. The background check ensures that the person buying the firearm is legally allowed to do so.

Under federal law, people are generally prohibited from purchasing or possessing firearms if they have been convicted of a felony or some domestic violence misdemeanors, or if they are subject to certain court orders related to domestic violence or a serious mental condition.

Maryland is not a “constitutional carry” state, meaning that no state resident or visitor may carry a firearm in public—openly or concealed—without a permit.

Restoring gun rights After an appropriate amount of time has passed, Maryland gun rights can be reinstated. If you were convicted of a state crime, then you can seek a pardon from the governor or expungement of criminal records.

Anyone who has been pled guilty to a felony crime of violence is prohibited from possessing a gun even if they received probation before judgment. Additionally, receiving a probation before judgment for domestic second degree assault counts as a conviction for the purposes of this statute.
