(a) In general.- In this subtitle the following words have the meanings indicated.
Revisor's Note.
This subsection is new language derived without substantive change from former Art. 27, § 481C(a) (1).
The reference to this "subtitle" is substituted for the former reference to this "section" for consistency in this subtitle, even though the terms "rifle" and "shotgun" as used in §§ 5-204 and 5-205 of this subtitle were not explicitly in the scope of former § 481C. However, § 5-204 of this subtitle, because it contains references to a "federally licensed gun dealer", implicitly refers to the definitions of "rifle" and "shotgun" in federal law. See 18 U.S.C. § 921. Similarly, § 5-205 of this subtitle, which prohibits possession of a "rifle or shotgun" by a person suffering from a mental disorder, implicitly refers to the federal law definitions or their substantively identical counterparts under State law. See CR § 4-201. Because the terms "rifle" and "shotgun" are defined in this subtitle to be substantively identical to the definitions in 18 U.S.C. § 921 and CR § 4-201, no substantive change results.
