Tyler Firearms

Tyler Firearms opened in 2013 specifically to outperform the typical gun store experience. Located at 4367 Hollins Ferry Rd in Halethorpe, they handle transfers, consignment sales, training courses, and retail inventory—all in one place, no appointment needed.

Their retail inventory includes: - Handguns: Semi-auto pistols (43+), revolvers, used handguns (29+) - Rifles: Bolt action, lever action, semi-auto, used rifles (11+) - Shotguns: Pump action, semi-auto, used shotguns (4+) - Suppressors: Handgun, rifle, and shotgun models - Glock Blue Label: Factory programs - Popular brands: Glock, Smith & Wesson M&P, Taurus, Ruger, Springfield Armory, Bersa, Rock Island

They process transfers during regular store hours with transparent pricing:

Key transfer policies: - Handguns must be on the Maryland Handgun Roster - HQL required at time of transfer for handguns - $20 storage fee for suppressor/SBR/SBS items (pending $200 ATF tax removal) - $50 background check denial fee if you don't pass - $40 return fee if you change your mind before taking possession - Firearms left untransferred 30+ days get returned to sender at your expense

Tyler Firearms positions itself on doing transfers right (no appointment, transparent fees) and teaching you to actually use what you buy (every class includes hands-on or live-fire). They've built a straightforward business model: sell firearms, process transfers, train people, accept consignments. That's it. No mystery fees, no corporate fluff.

If you're in Baltimore County or Anne Arundel County looking to transfer a gun or take a Maryland HQL or concealed carry course, you don't need to drive far.
