Cases sent with pistol

[ke3gk]

When buying C&R pistols and the dealer sends cases that were supposedly shot thru the pistol, what are we supposed to do with them ? Save them ? Send them off somewhere ? I forgot.

My CZ-82 didn't come with any, and I bought it last week.

Throw 'em out, unless you like collecting useless crap. Or reload them I guess. I also received a CZ-82 without a fired case. You don't need them for C&R guns in MD (at least not yet )

Throw it away. The law does not apply to you. You are neither the one who made the handgun, nor a "dealer". Besides, as SMores pointed out the C&R most likely didn't even come from a manufacturer anyway.

No wonder I didn't remember what to do with them.

Who's doing that??? I've never received cases with any of my C&R guns.

Sarco sent me two spent cases ... I too have never received anything like that before - hence, thinking that something changed in the law ...

I think they have to do this with some of the local jurisdictions or states they send to and so I think they just do this with all their guns. New York has a law similar to Maryland's for instance.
