HS2000 Approved in Maryland
July 16, 2000

All handguns MANUFACTURED after January 1, 2003 must have an "integrated mechanical safety device built into a handgun designed to prevent the handgun from being discharged unless the device has been diactivated". MLFDA is not certain what qualifies as an "integrated mechanical safety device", but we are certain that the regulations will define it. Dealers can relax about this requirement, as most handgun manufacturers that the MLFDA has contacted state that they are currently on such additions to their handguns, due to liability concerns, and will probably have them available well before the year 2003. In addition, companies, such as Safety Trigger, are also working on a retro-fitted unit, mounted on the trigger guard. This can be installed by any good gunsmith. Remember, only handguns MANUFACTURED after 1/1/2003 face this requirement, not used handguns or models purchased by the dealer after 1/1/03, but manufactured prior to that date. A serial number list will be compiled by MLFDA and made available prior to 1/1/03.
