Sold a MD registered handgun in DE

Gun novice here. I am getting frustrated with the State websites, so hoping I can get a quick answer here.

In 2010, my father in law passed away, and I inherited his Glock. I registered with the state police and did the various checks and hoops.

Gun sat in my closet for the last nine years, and I decide to sell it. I live in MD, right on the DE line. I visited a DE gun shop (licensed dealer) and sold it. He took my ID, gave me a written receipt and the money, and that was it.

I asked him about my MD registration and he said DE did not have registration laws (yet), so there is nothing more we need to do.

Now I am nervous. MD still thinks I own this gun, but it is floating around a dealer's shop, likely to be sold to a non-MD resident.

Do I need to notify MD of the sale?

Thanks

It doesn't matter who you notify in MD as their system doesn't allow them to remove it from your name unless it transfers to another MD resident.

If my door gets kicked in at 4am by government gun grabbers, it's a cinch I won't make 4:05, but neither will at least a few of them...



Uh-oh, this won't help my social-credit score, will it?

The Maryland registration scheme is nothing more than a barrier that they put up to get you used to the fact that owning a gun is a privilege and not a right.



They don't really do anything with the registration, there's no way to remove your name from the registration, and I doubt anyone here can point to a single crime has been solved with the registrations. Real criminals don't register their guns

This kind if shit....threats to the "government gun grabbers"....is not appropriate and should not be allowed. Regardless how we feel, threats to cause harm to what sounds like police to me, is ********. I'm surprised a mod didn't jump on this.
