I thought it would cost less in Virginia. However, if I have to pay transfer fees and whatnot, it might be easier just to get it in Maryland. Also, I thought it would be easer to get in Virginia as there are more stores that sell guns in Virginia than in Maryland.
My BIL in Maryland got an outstanding deal on his handgun. Better price than I could have gotten in Va. Do some serious online price research. Hit the Maryland gunshows, or check with my favorite online distributor: http://www.galleryofguns.com/
