5382

VETOES

This bill provides that a person may not possess a
short-barreled rifle or short-barreled shotgun in Maryland
except when the shotgun or rifle has been registered with
the United States government in accordance with United
States statutes or is engaged in certain law enforcement
functions.

Senate Bill 57, which was passed by the General
Assembly and signed by me on June 1, 1982, accomplishes the
same purpose. Therefore it is not necessary for me to sign
House Bill 1890.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
