Are private firearm sales allowed in Maryland without a background check?

Yes, for all firearms
Yes, but only for rifles and shotguns
No, all sales require a background check
Only if the buyer has a carry permit

The correct answer is: No, all sales require a background check

Maryland requires a background check for all firearm sales, regardless of the type of firearm being purchased. Option A is incorrect because private sales also require a background check. Option B is incorrect because it implies that private sales for rifles and shotguns do not require a background check. Option D is incorrect because carrying a permit does not exempt a buyer from a background check when purchasing a firearm from a private seller.
