Or maybe that should say the State of MD concedes they are abusing their authority or were incompetent in evaluating the rifle in this case. If you don't know, I had a Sig MCX end up in the possession of MSP in November 2016. When it was to be returned to me they refused, citing it being listed as banned on their website (not a bill) as of July 2015, and I purchased December 2015. Duffy's did some lobbying (even visited MSP in person, thank you) and I did what I could to pressure them for a formal, written document citing the law they are using to refuse returning the rifle.
Instead of the written explanation I requested I got the below.
"Mr. xxxx,
I have attached today’s response from the Maryland Gun Center.
"The Maryland Gun Center was notified last week by Firearms Registration Section that a decision was made to overturn the ban on the Sig Sauer MCX model firearm so long as it does not have a flash suppressor and folding stock. An update to the MSP website is forthcoming."
Your firearm was inspected today and you are eligible to retrieve your firearm. Please contact xxxx at xxx-xxx-xxxx to pick up the rifle within 20 days. Please give me a call with any questions. Thank you."
Never modded or fired it. I don't want to keep it though, so looking to move it. Also contacting Duffy's to see what they can do with it.
