Each winter my family rents a home in Maryland for a week. My reading tells me that the usual non-MD resident rules apply to transporting except "This does not apply to any person wearing, carrying or transporting a handgun within the confines of real estate owned or leased by him, or on which he resides, ...". The quote is from an NRA-ILA web site. Has anyone got a reference for a PA resident who rents a house in MD and whether or not it is legal to have an otherwise legal handgun? That is, I am looking for sources as to whether or not this vacation rental qualifies as a residence or the renting of a house? The MD laws are quite clear about transport, possession, and carrying of handguns but not on this subject.

If you have a source, can you forward it please? I spent way too much time searching this and I can't be the first person who has run across this.

thanks,
