[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just for the record, since some people here seem to not realize this.  In DC, very, very few law abiding people keep firearms in their homes.  This is because it's against the law, big time, in DC to have firearms or even ammo in your possession.  It's extremely difficult to get a permit to keep one if your job doesn't require it.  In MD people can keep long guns (basic rifles and shotguns) easily but pistols require licensing. In VA it's practically anything goes.[/quote]

You haven't got the slightest idea what you are talking about. Have you ever heard of the Supreme Court's Heller decision?  Or the Wrenn decision?

In DC, law abiding adults can own handguns and long guns. They must be registered, but DC's longstanding prohibition on registering new handguns was struck down in Heller. There is a list of handguns that are approved and a list of long guns banned for scary features, but nothing too extensive. DC's longstanding refusal to issue handgun carry permits was struck down in Wrenn and DC is now shall issue for such permits. DC requires safe storage, but its requirement that guns be unloaded and unusable was struck down in Heller.

Maryland has no "licensing" requirement to keep either long guns or handguns. Handguns and some long guns have been registered for some years and post-2013 a qualification license has been required for new handgun sales.
