Maryland Faces Immediate Legal Fight After Governor Signs Handgun Ban Into Law - Tampa Free Press

  • Maryland Governor Wes Moore signed legislation banning the sale, manufacture, and transfer of Glocks and Glock-clone handguns, effective January 1, 2027, making Maryland the second state after California to enact such a ban.
  • The law targets pistols with a cruciform trigger bar, including most Glock models, to prevent the use of illegal modifications known as 'Glock switches' that enable full-auto fire.
  • The National Rifle Association, Second Amendment Foundation, and Firearms Policy Coalition filed a federal lawsuit to block enforcement, arguing the ban infringes on constitutional gun rights.
  • Opponents argue the law punishes lawful gun owners and restricts access to popular firearms used for self-defense, rather than focusing on criminals using illegal modifications.
