Ch. 26
2002 LAWS OF MARYLAND
(2) POSSESS, SELL, OFFER TO SELL, TRANSFER, PURCHASE, OR RECEIVE
AN ASSAULT PISTOL. (B) EXCEPTION. A PERSON WHO LAWFULLY POSSESSED AN ASSAULT PISTOL BEFORE JUNE 1,
1994 AND WHO REGISTERED THE ASSAULT PISTOL WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE
STATE POLICE BEFORE AUGUST 1, 1994 MAY CONTINUE TO POSSESS THE ASSAULT
PISTOL. REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 36H-3. In the introductory language of subsection (a) of this section, the former
phrase "[s]ubject to the provisions of this subheading" is deleted as
redundant of § 4-302 of this subtitle, which specifies that the exemptions
contained in that section apply to the entire subtitle. Also in the introductory language of subsection (a) of this section, the
former effective date "June 1, 1994" is deleted as obsolete. In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the former phrase "in the State" is
deleted because the State's jurisdiction is limited to activities within the
State. Defined terms: "Assault pistol" § 4-301
"Person" § 1-101 4-304. SAME — SEIZURE AND DISPOSITION. A LAW ENFORCEMENT UNIT MAY SEIZE AS CONTRABAND AND DISPOSE OF
ACCORDING TO REGULATION AN ASSAULT PISTOL TRANSPORTED, SOLD,
TRANSFERRED, PURCHASED, RECEIVED, OR POSSESSED IN VIOLATION OF THIS
SUBTITLE. REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 36H-4. The word "unit" is substituted for the former word "agency" to conform
with standard terminology used to describe governmental bodies. See
General Revisor's Note to article. The Criminal Law Article Review Committee notes, for the consideration
of the General Assembly, that it is unclear which "regulation" on
contraband and disposal the law enforcement unit may use - that of the
State, the United States, or a local government. Defined term: "Assault pistol" § 4-301 4-305. DETACHABLE MAGAZINES — PROHIBITED.
(A) SCOPE.
