Just to be clear consignment is covered under Federal Law. Nuance in MD is FFL can't legally do a NICS check for a handgun transaction so State process applies as it was a handgun. ATF Q and A response below:It happened to me when I placed a revolver on consignment.
I was stunned and let it remain until sold.
Consignment transfers ownership. Maintenance does not. bob
I don't see how consignment changes ownership until sold. Is there a cost associated with jail-breaking your own firearm?
Legal definition (partial)
The consignee acts as an agent on behalf of the consignor, a principal, in selling the goods and must take reasonable care of them while in his or her possession. The consignor does not give up ownership of the goods until their sale.
A regulated firearm placed on consignment (for sale) requires the FFL to take possession, meaning you relinquish same. Want it back? Should be a 77R, 4163 and 7 day wait in MD. Never heard about a 3 day wait. What am I missing? bob
Good thing I'm not a moderator here. I would have just deleted the thread
Some changes 1 Jan 2020. Not a Pawn Shop (type 02 lisense) so not up on what changed. But addressed on this page.Because there are no new rules and the wait time is and has been 7 days for decades.

Not being a Pawn shop would have thought 7 days but even MSP link provided discusses 3 days.
