They are still extremely sparse here in Maryland as every one and their brother rushes to purchase one before the official October 1st ban takes effect.

Buying one out of state and doing a transfer is pretty difficult because alot of the local FFLs are packed to the gills, meaning out of storage space and not accepting transfers.

Mean while the Maryland State Police have a 60 day back up processing regulated applications (on a normal 8 day transfer). Since you have to wait 30 days between taking possession of a regulated firearm before you can purchase another (plus the current 60 day background check backlog), most folks wont be able to buy more than two guns before the ban takes effect.
