I moved to MD last month and registered my banned rifles that I owned prior to 10/1/13 on the State Police web site. Got the below email back this morning.
"After researching the guns that you listed on your New Resident application it has been determined that the Bushmaster XM15-e2s; LMT Defender 2000 and Colt LE6920 Socom are banned in Maryland. In view of this information, we cannot register these guns under your name in Maryland unless you can provide us with documentation that you purchased these guns prior to 10/1/2013. If you cannot provide us with documentation than we must advise you that you cannot legally have this gun in Maryland unless you change it over to a heavy barrel."
Is this standard? I thought the onus was on them? I thought I didn't need to provide proof. I have receipts so no big deal. The date on one is hard to read though. You can make out the month and year but the day illegible. Hope I don't need to get that one re-barrelled. And why would I register something that wasn't banned.
