A friend of mine inherited a pistol from an elderly family member and I would like to buy it from him to go along with another blued one that I already own. It's a Colt .380 Government MK IV Model 80. It was made in 1984. As far as we can tell, it has never been registered before. I'm not sure when mandatory registration began in Maryland. His family member may not even have been a Maryland resident when he purchased it. I want to purchase the gun and have it properly registered with Maryland. I'm not sure on how to go about doing that. I guess my fear is, I'll take the pistol to MSP barracks to have it registered and I'll be breaking the law somehow by being in possession of an unregistered firearm. Or, the MSP will confiscate the gun and I'll be out my money and the gun will be gone. Can somebody please tell me the PROPER way to handle this. I like things done correctly and legally.
