Hey folks,
Got a question - it's for my kid sister who used to be a MD resident and now resides in Colorado. Her Dad recently passed away (2 weeks ago) and she came back to MD to authorize the hospital to pull the plug & take care of his personal possessions from his apartment. There was no will. Upon cleaning out his apartment she found a CZ 9mm Hand gun that was purchased in May of 2013 (pre-Oct 1) that was never fired. Due to time constraints she left the gun at her Mom's house in Maryland for safe storage until she comes back this summer to pick it up (she will be driving - so might allow for easier transport to CO?).
So here is the question - what must she do to legally take possession of it and transfer it to her, as far as it concerns Maryland? She does have a copy of the Death Certificate. I'm aware of how to do a inheritance transfer from a MD resident to a MD resident family member, but not sure how to complete this one.
While she was still here she stopped by an FFL in Parkville and he told her she had to take a 3 day course (pay $), then he would ship the firearm to a Colorado FLL for the nice sum of $130. I do think he was full of sh!t and attempting to make money on her and her situation.
Any assistance you guys & gals could give me to point me in the correct direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
