Two Quick questions about the "Law" in Maryland.

[LexTalionis926]

1) If I purchased a stripped lower and a handgun at the end of May and picked up toward the end of June, when can I technically pick up my other stripped lower that I just ordered. Is it 30 days or 60 days since I had to regulated items at my last purchase? I am not a designated collector.

2) Will HBAR's be illegal after October 1st since they are technically cash and carry and are not regulated right now?

It is my understanding that it is a 60 day wait after a double regulated purchase with no designated collector. Also my understanding is Hbars are fine after Oct. 1

Good to hear! I guess that means my lower will collect dust for another month or so even though the dealer I used is doing 8th day release lol.

How is that possible? They are that different than a standard M4 ?

HBARs only shoot the safe, sporting target boolits, while the EBR M4 shoots the deadly kitten killing type.

OP, I'm curious if your FFL released early the spikes/MP40 and you are not a DC ?

It wasn't an early release. It was an unexplained very quick not disapproved. The dealer said I was literally the only one to come back that quick. As far as I know the pickup date is when your 30 day wait starts, only if it was as easy as waiting 30 days from the date the paperwork was originally submitted. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong though!

I'd recommend you get your DC, especially if you're planning on anything else. You'll get it back before the 60 days and the DC makes that wait irrelevant. It's easy, the cost is minimal (stamp + notary fee from wherever you get the notary) and it allows you to bypass the stupid 30 day wait.

 

[LexTalionis926]

Getting your DC basically gives law enforcement consent to search your home and inspect your firearms at any time for any reason though correct?

Oh No!!! Lol

Nobody even Leo can come to your home without your consent or warrant.

No, not a Maryland DC. As I understand it, the federal "Firearms and Curio" collector designation does

Ppppft. Got a sample case or where its written in the books?

 

[dgapilot]

C&R doesn't even give them the right to come in and inspect. They have the right to inspect you Bound Book, and it is preferable to have them do that at a location other than where your firearms are stored.

 

[LexTalionis926]

I guess I was misinformed! I guess I'll be getting that form and mailing it out!

It is that way because that is how the law is written.

At this point, the DC is almost at the moot point. The wait is 60 days on the DC application turnaround, even though by COMAR regulation it is supposed to be 7 days.

Anybody that does not send in a Designated Collector application in the next week or two, might as well not send it in. Or at least not hold their breath that they are going to get it before October 1, 2013. Of course, MSP has said it is going to hire more people on July 1, 2013 to address the paperwork backlog, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that either.

End of the day, the DC status is still good for transporting a collection to show to people.

 

[LexTalionis926]

Im really only planning on using it for future pistol purchases after october 1st.

Funny how too many people believe this to be true. B.G.O.S. at its finest.
