good suggestion (above).

can you use your charge card from MD and have it shipped to the state next door? Or, does the charge card address void the transaction?

Never was a problem for those who did it. Make the ship to and billing addresses different and the problem is solved.

If MD tried making it illegal for a MD resident to purchase them from an out of state vendor (instead of just selling in state or shipping in state) they would be getting too close to the commerce clause.
