RE: Maryland gun law question
ok all, im pretty confused lol. i have talked to atleast 10 different people, not including these forums, and have gotten exactly opposing answers lol. one gun store owner said the STET would prohibit me from buying one for the year until STET is cleared, another owner said that it has no bearing on me getting one b/c its not a felony or even a conviction. i called the state police handgun licensing division and they told me that the STET is not a conviction, so it wont prohibit me. im not sure if they know anything about the FEDS, but i would think they would tell me if it would stop me from buying one on any level.
i truly am confused, i feel the only way to get a answer is to wait til my bday (july 30) and see what happens after i apply. when they ask me "are you addicted to drugs" i can honestly/legally say no b/c at the time i wont be. this is so confusing. how can i gettwo exactly different answers from people who are all suppose to know the laws, a cop, and two store owners. and then on these forums i get completely different answers (which, dont get me wrong,i do appreciate your responses buti just want to get this sorted out lol).
also, i know marijuana is not good, but i do it here + there and i am not ashamed of it by any means. i got toa university and work almost every day of my life so i dont think it makes me a "bad" person. its not meth, or crack it aplant.i dont do it when it could become dangerous (driving, hunting, swimming lol) and i feel that noone is perfect and this is somethig i do now but will not forever.i dont do it alot and i appreciate your guys concern, but im just giving my opinion on the matter and how i feel about it. i am usually more smart abouthow i carry it, but i slipped once and they got me and it has made me realize that its not worth the charges on my record, especially when applying for jobs. but im glad there is a STETso i wont have the conviction.thanks alot for all the responses, i hopefully will have a solid answer soon.
