This may have already been asked but I cannot find it. If you do NOT have reciepts for guns that MD has banned. What is the best way to get proof you owned these guns prior to 10/1/13?
Did you buy in MD as regulated? If so, I wouldn't worry about it and let them rely on their records if the question ever arises. If you moved into state with them or some other way it'll be a little trickier.
Yes. Both guns were purchased in Md as regulated. So I did plenty of paperwork with the state at time of purchase. I probably have the paperwork buried in a stack of papers at my house but just never feel like consuming my time trying to did through it all.
The State would have the date of transfer in its database...and as said, they have the burden of proof and also in court under rules of discovery, they would need to provide all firearm records they have for you.
What I have for myself is a three ring binder with all documents, receipts, appraisals for each of my firearms (even accessories I've purchased) which I keep in my safe. I also have a digital copy of same with photos stored on a thumb-drive stored separately as a backup and for insurance purposes.
Never hurts to over document...
I bought in PA prior to Oct 1 and live in MD do I need to do anything ?

Unless you moved here in the last couple of days, you don't need to do anything. New residents > 9/30 must register regulated guns (handguns) within 90 days of establishing residency. If you have a banned rifle, you are screwgeed and can't bring it in to MD, I believe.I bought in PA prior to Oct 1 and live in MD do I need to do anything ?

The burden of proof IS on the state, but they have deep pockets with which to f&ck with you.But isn't the burden of proof on the state to prove that it was purchased AFTER October 1st?
I only ask because I'm currently stationed in Ohio and purchased a lower receiver last year with cash. I don't have a receipt for it, so would I be able to bring it back to Maryland if I ever get stationed back there?
