Handguns - Wear, Carry, and Transport Laws - Handbook Publication

HB 303 requires Maryland's Attorney General to publish an annual handbook by October 1, 2026, and each subsequent October 1, summarizing state, federal, and court laws about wearing, carrying, and transporting handguns in public. The handbook must be written in plain language without legal jargon and designed for use in firearm safety courses. This bill directly affects Maryland residents who carry or transport handguns, as well as firearm safety instructors who may use the handbook. It mandates no changes to existing gun laws but creates a standardized public resource to clarify current legal requirements.
