As far as i can remember,i was found guilty and was sentenced to 1 year in jail,but my attorney appealed it and i got 1 year probation instead of jail time.i am not sure if i was still convicted though.I guess i'll have to get some money together and have him check it out for me.
In Maryland, if you have been convicted of a crime which carries a prison sentence of one year or more, you cannot own a firearm. Unfortunately, that's the law here. Even if you didn't do jail time, but were put on probation, the possible sentence of one year or more that comes with the charge/offense disqualifies you from firearm ownership in Maryland.
Sorry about that. You can thank the 20+ year reign of Maryland dummycrats for that law.
BTW, the MD state legislature is having more anti-gun hearings beginning March 9th. God save us all....
