One more thing, the sale or transfer of a magazine with a capacity of over 20 rounds is illegal in Maryland. However, the possession such magazine is not. So you may be bring magazines with capacity over 20 rounds into the State with you when you move. You may also purchase magazines over 20 rounds in other states and bring them back into Maryland.

Note that FFL's are required by federal law to obey the laws of the state in which they are located as well as any state in which they do business. This means that anyone with an FFL cannot ship you magazines over 20 rounds into the state of Maryland.

Most non-FFL businesses will not ship magazines to Maryland as they do wish to end up the test case.

If anyone tells you anything besides what I've told you above, have them cite the actual Maryland statute.
