Maryland law in detail

  • 10 rounds (Mag Limit) — Magazines over 10 rounds cannot be purchased or sold in Maryland. However, possession of higher-capacity magazines purchased out of state is legal.

The federal rule

There is no federal magazine capacity limit; the federal limit ended with the 1994 ban in 2004. State limits usually cover sale, transfer and manufacture, and a few also make possession illegal, so a magazine you already own can be legal to keep but not to bring in.
