Ch. 5

2003 LAWS OF MARYLAND

"robbery with a dangerous weapon" are substituted for the former
reference to "[r]obbery under § 486 or § 487 of this article" for clarity.

In items (16) and (17) of this subsection, the references to "crime[s]" are
substituted for the former references to "offense[s]" for consistency with
the Criminal Procedure Article and the Criminal Law Article.

(D)     DEALER

"DEALER" MEANS A PERSON WHO IS ENGAGED IN THE BUSINESS OF:

(1)      SELLING, RENTING, OR TRANSFERRING FIREARMS AT WHOLESALE
OR RETAIL; OR

(2)      REPAIRING FIREARMS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 27, § 441(f).

substantive change from former Art. 27, § 441(s), except for the reference
concerning issuance by the Secretary.

This subsection defines the term "[d]ealer's license" instead of "[r]egulated
firearms dealer" for convenience. In this subtitle, the defined term
"licensee" is used to denote a holder of a regulated firearms dealer's
license.

The former reference to a "valid" State regulated firearms dealer's license
is deleted as implicit in the reference to a dealer's "license".

the Secretary is deleted as included in the reference to a law enforcement
agency that the Secretary "designates".
