Governor Wes Moore (D) signed legislation Tuesday banning the sale Glocks and Glock-clones into law, making Maryland the second state to enact such a ban.
On April 9, 2026, Breitbart News reported that Maryland’s House followed the state Senate’s lead and passed a ban on Glocks and other handguns Democrats describe as “machine gun convertible.”
Now Maryland has followed suit and WYPR reported that Maryland’s ban will take effect January 1, 2027. It will ban not only the sale of Glocks and Glock-clones, but also the transfer and manufacture of said pistols.
This means Marylanders who already legally own Glocks will be able to keep them, but they will not have the option to sell or transfer them.
