Question: 1 / 400

Under Maryland law, which of the following firearms is classified as a 'regulated firearm'?

Rifles

Shotguns

Handguns

The classification of 'regulated firearms' under Maryland law specifically includes handguns. This designation requires individuals to undergo a background check and meet certain conditions before they can purchase or transfer a handgun. This regulation is in place due to the higher potential for misuse and the associated risks of handguns compared to other types of firearms.

While rifles and shotguns are also firearms, they are not classified as 'regulated firearms' in the same manner. Air guns, on the other hand, fall outside the legal definition of firearms in Maryland and are not subject to the same regulations as handguns. Therefore, the correct answer highlights the stricter controls applicable to handguns as regulated firearms under state law.
