Questions
Do you have a storefront?
No. SOMD Transfers is home-based in Mechanicsville and works by appointment only. You'll get the address when you book.
What do I need to bring to pick up?
A valid government photo ID with your current address. For handguns, also bring your Maryland HQL.

Handguns can only be transferred to residents of Maryland. Contact me about long guns for out-of-state residents.
