You are not required to register it. It is perfectly legal. You don't have to do anything.

The "voluntary registration" is there if you decide you want your gun in the state database. That's all.

If the authorities ever trace the serial number on your lower, they will learn that you purchased it legally in Texas.

Answering a similar question:

Yes, but what we're worried about, here, is that in the Socialist Republic of Maryland, you're innocent until proven guilty.

What we're afraid of is it will be taken away and confiscated, with up to a year of harassment and paperwork trying to retrieve it, or worse, you're taken to jail on "suspicion" until either YOU can prove otherwise, or they can finally get around to proving it is legal.

THAT is MY personal fear over all of this. I think that guy who was arrested at the gun show was to be made an example out of, and I think they're not done slapping us around yet. I think there will be more sacrificial lambs to make their point that they're serious about this law, and to scare and intimidate us.

I have a question Not trying to steal the thread but lets say I send a regulated firearm out of state for work and It come back after OCT 1 Am I breaking the law?

No, you are still able to transport it and ship it after October 1 just like you can today.

I think you are worrying about a boogie man that isn't coming. It is up to the state to prove it is illegal, not you to prove it is legal.

I'm going to buy some Maryland regulated firearms in VA, and possess them at my residence (I'm a MD resident...) in MD.

Yay for ye old loophole.

Active duty Army stationed in VA, MD resident. VA treats me as a resident since I live in VA; but my home of record is MD. Drivers license is MD too.

A complete lower is regulated here. Must be transferred thru a Md ffl. It is not an Hbar. Just take our word for it.

BTW.....that Hbar thing has been the biggest liberty taken to current law as anything. The law doesn't exempt Hbar's...it exempts the Colt AR-15 Sporter H-BAR rifle.

So all those cats that were allowed to cash and carry those Bushy's, RRA, Stag.....or any other maker with an "H-BAR" have some decisions to make prior to the 01 October effective date of the new law.

From the law itself;

"Regulated firearm” means:

14 (1) a handgun; or

(2) a firearm that is any of the following specific assault weapons or 15 their copies, regardless of which company produced and manufactured that assault 16 weapon:

4 (xv) Colt AR–15, CAR–15, and all imitations except Colt AR–15
5 Sporter H–BAR rifle;

Regardless of your duty status, you are still a MD citizen. The only thing being active duty military gets you is not having to get an HQL while you are still in the service. It does not give you a pass to purchase a regulated long gun after October 1st and bring it into MD. Now, if you purchased the regulated firearm before October 1, then again, you are just like the rest of us and get to keep it.

So, what are jumping up and down for joy again......

Ummm, sorry dude, cash and carry today, means unregulated and thus no issue today, tomorrow or after October 1. Those same items that are non regulated/cash and carry today, will be so tomorrow as well as after October 1.

Furthermore, there is at least one dealer that has a letter from MSP stating that any HBAR qualifies as unregulated, not just the Colt Sporter, HBAR.

 

[bobthefisher]

Another question is if one were to press out an AK47 flat or finish a 80% AR receiver before Oct. 1st, would that require any registration? Does it require any registration now?

 

[rico903]

So if I have an AK I bought FTF years ago when that was legal, I DON"T have to register it come 10/1? Or a preban Colt Hbar bought recently in PA?

You don't read so well and that 20 something speech pattern doesn't enhance your attempt at a factual point either.

Who has said MSP letter that trumps the law as it is currently written?

Stop by a certain gun shop in Burtonsville, and since MSP enforces the regulated firearms on the list, the letter does not "trump" any law, it simply clarifies a question asked of the law.

BTW, not a 20 something, it just happens to be how I type from years of working a teletype in the military, and having to write notes for trouble tickets in a given amount of space. Add in doing morse code as a HAM, and it catches up to me sometimes.

You think texting was the first use of short phrases? I don't think so.
