Hello. I am a md resident and I recently was gifted my great grandfathers 1926 Colt police 38 from an out of state relative. He was a nypd inspector and won the gun in a competition on august 26, 1926. The gun is patented oct. 1926. I've never owned a gun prior to this and want to make sure that I am on the right side of the law. Based on what ive read there is a 2013 md law requiring I get a hql, but ATF says it should be an eligible c&r. So I'm confused, but i know i have my hunters safety certificate from the late 90s. Im scared to ship it anywhere and dont really trust the gun leaving my home. Its priceless to my family and i would like to insure it and pass it down.
Also, once my ducks are in a row, i would like to fire it. Any care tips for a newbie would be apprieciate. And what kind of ammo can i use? It has been kept in its original holster for most of its life.
