It is not listed as prohibited in Criminal Law Article 4-101. However, there may be circumstances or places in which it would be illegal. It probably would be all right to possess it in your home, but you probably would violate the law to wear it concealed in public or to carry it openly with the intent to injure. It would probably be illegal to possess it in a school or a courthouse. There are also classes of people who are prohibited from possessing weapons.
