What is the waiting period for buying a regulated firearm in Maryland?

  1. There is no waiting period

  2. 3 days

  3. 7 days

  4. 10 days

The correct answer is: 7 days

In Maryland, there is a mandatory waiting period of 7 days for purchasing a regulated firearm. This waiting period is in place to allow for background checks to be completed and to ensure that individuals are not able to purchase a firearm impulsively. Options A and B are incorrect because they suggest that there is either no waiting period or a shorter waiting period, which is not the case in Maryland. Option D is incorrect because it suggests a longer waiting period of 10 days, which is also not the case in Maryland.
