You've probably already heard the news, but for those who haven't, Maryland Governor Wes Moore has officially signed the so-called "G***k Ban" into law. The new legislation targets certain G***k and G***k-style pistols that lawmakers say can be converted into fully automatic fi****ms with illegal conversion devices. The law is set to take effect on January 1, 2027, and has already sparked lawsuits and significant debate across the state.
So what does this actually mean for Maryland gun owners? Does it affect fi****ms you already own? Which handguns could be impacted? And what happens next as legal challenges begin to unfold?
Stephanie breaks down the details, what the law says, and what Maryland residents need to know in today's Legal Update.
⚖️ Stay informed.
🎯 Stay trained.
📰 Stay up to date with the latest Maryland fi****ms news.

Let's remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. We truly live in a special place, and we so often take it for granted. This life does not happen but for by the grace of God and the brave folks who have paid with their lives. And let's not forget the families they have left behind. The orphans and widows have a special place in the Lord's heart and it's important to keep them lifted in prayer and to tangibly help when you can.
Psalm 34:18
"The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit."
We hope you ENJOY the day today and we invite you to do something uniquely American - blast some rounds at your local mom and pop range.
See you at the range.
