What about a will ?
I legally added my firearm collection to my will which has been documented and registered as being bequeathed to my son. In conjunction with the collection I seperately keep an accurate inventory with model, serial number, description, and picture.
Doesn't NY's law and Buffalo's interpretation of their ability to confiscate legally owned firearms upon the death of their owner run afoul of NY (or MD) probate law ?
Will
A document in which a person specifies the method to be applied in the management and distribution of his estate after his death.

The right to dispose of property by a will is controlled completely by statute. Since the 1970s, many states have adopted all or parts of the Uniform Probate Code, which attempts to simplify the laws concerning wills and estates. When a person dies, the law of his domicile (permanent residence) will control the method of distribution of his personal property, such as money, stock, or automobiles. The real property, such as farm or vacant land, will pass to the intended heirs according to the law of the state in which the property is located. Though a testator may exercise much control over the distribution of property, state laws protect spouses and children by providing ways of guaranteeing that a spouse will receive a minimum amount of property, regardless of the provisions of the will.
