Here's one for ya.
Last year I moved up to Pa. All my firearms I ever owned were purchased in Maryland(for the most part).
Pa has no "registration".
So, I can't use those firearms for self defense here in Pa because they aren't "registered"?
You can't tell me that a DC resident cannot use a shotgun he purchased in DC, in a self defense of a dwelling in Md. Regardless how it is "Stored" there.
"questionable" legality of a "non registered" firearm does not negate the justified use of legal self defense.
You are not going to be charged for negligent homicide if you used that firearm in a legal, proper manner.
In my opinion, "registration" follows the owner and not the physical location of that firearm. The use of that firearm is not Null and Void.
If Face to Face sale, you do not need a bill of sale, until 10/1/2020

right. if you lawfully defend your life, the issue of did you register the gun in DC, when you used it outside of DC will not be high on the list. there may be a dead person in your kitchen. you will have years of legal and emotional challenges.
debating the legality of something that by the way, the state has to prove you transferred it at the wrong time, seems silly.

Leaving is not transferring.

You don't even need a bill of sale.
But not a bad idea in case it shows up being used in a crime later.
October 1st you do.

So everything you leave at someone's house is now their property?
PowPow
Where's the beef?
My first thought was, "Why did he put syrup on that meatloaf?"
Guess what I had for dinner last night?

So you are now advocating that he lie and break the law?????
IF, when he left it there before he moved to DC, then yes, it is hers, and this whole thread is moot. And he did not, as he started this thread.
If he did not say it was hers before he moved to DC, it is not hers. And cannot be without transferring through an FFL.
To say now, after posting in a public forum that he did not do so, that he transferred in the past would be illegal.
Go for it.
Nothing like turning nothing into a Federal offense.

Ew.
How does that not violate some federal laws/constitution?
Or other states sovereignty?
Maryland is basically saying that if you are a resident then they can control what happens in other states.

believe it or not, you and I agree. I am saying it is nothing. the fact that in America we ask legal questions about where you leave a shotgun is sad.
It's not unimpressive.

it for the children.....or something.
Not you specifically. Just ALL the cackling hens . LOL
There is literally ZERO solid info here that someone could stake their legal life on.
Yes, that's why on questions like this I'm always amazed the first response and others that follow aren't just to contact a legal expert experienced with both jurisdictions' gun laws. Why take chances on 100s of opinions?
Hell. I doubt most attorneys wouldn't even know.
