Hey guys,
Long time lurker here.
I currently live in VA and am looking to move to MD since I currently work there.
Before anyone says "don't move to Maryland, stay in Virginia", I tried this for a year and it didn't work. The commute has just been terrible. And seeing that I will be joining the military/starting medical school in Bethesda hopefully by fall (fingers crossed), my gf and I figured that it would be best to move now.
I have a few questions about the legality of my firearms. I'm a big collector in AK's and handguns. I've done some research but I haven't found any definitive answers.
Just recently acquired a Rifle Dynamics AK74 (RD501). I've seen that the Arsenal SLR104 is gtg, but does that apply to all AK74's or just that specific model. I've contacted Rifle Dynamics and they were unsure. I waited 15 months to receive it and had it less for a year. I'd hate to have to leave it behind with my parents.
Additionally have an AK74 that I acquired before 10/13. But how do I prove it was purchased before then? I don't have receipts anymore and I doubt by now my FFL would have a record of it.
Lastly, I have several handguns. I saw that the voluntary registration is required for residents who plan to establish residency, but I don't plan to. My father (ret Navy) told me that I can be stationed in MD but still retain my VA residency no problem. Also spoke with one of the guys at Engage and they said I wouldn't have to register as long as I keep my VA license. Thoughts?
Thanks for input in advance. Also does anyone know specifically who to contact at MSP in regards to the legality of particular firearms.
