Unregistered firearms

[Pinecone]

I do not think so.

Purchases from FFLs did require paperwork. We argued this a while ago, and IIRC, it was around 1989 that regulated long guns became a reality.

The purpose of gun registration is to make confiscation possible, so IMO unregistered firearms are the best kind! I am NOT a lawyer.

I am a lawyer and I agree 100% (this is a non-legal opinion of course).

What guns?

Just for curiosity, how'd the OP run the serial numbers?

 

[Pale Ryder]

What guns? Or you got them when you lived in relatives state and brought them with you when you moved to MD.

Before '96 handgun private sales between non-prohibited Md residents were FTF.

Agreed that's why I am buying 80% lowers ... I am even going to try the 1911 and 10/22 80%.

Heavy, please move out of MD. Then, 2A no issues at all!

The number one rule of informal inherentces is , don't talk about ....

Yup, what they don't know won't hurt them. We have the right to be left alone and I will exercise that right.

This is a question I have had for quite a while, too. I have two pistols, one an inheritance, one a gift when a "third grandfather" neighbor when he passed in the 1970s. The latter is a M1917 S&W .45 revolver that saw action in WWI - and I suspect has some value as an antique (it is in very good condition - one small rust blemish, but lovingly cared for with oil).

My concern is what to do with insurance? Any advice? BTW, all my firearms are kept in a 1-hr fireproof Liberty safe.

Partially.

Prior to Oct 1996, you could do a FTF transfer of a handgun, no paperwork needed. After that date, you needed to transfer through an FFL or by doing the paperwork at an MSP barracks.

But all handguns sold in MD since the late 60s had to go through the MSP Not Disapproved process.

This is a confusing explanation. Are you saying if a bought a handgun privately in 1980's it had to go thru MSP or are you talking about dealer sales?

 

[rico903]

I'm still not clear on the new law. If I privately bought regulated firearms in the 80"s and early 90"s are they supposed to be registered come 10/1?

 

[Fox123]

It's my understanding, no whatever you own prior to OCT 1 is not effected. New residents that move to the state post OCT 1 must register their regulated firearms.


IANAL

This^^^^^^ As is the norm, people are confusing the new regulations


registration of regulated guns already owned only applies to people who move in from out of state, not to current MD residents

The guns I had before I moved to MD....................don't exist. The ones I bought here,...............................well there was this boating accident.

FIFY

SB281 requires 48hr notification of such an accident and sets the criminal penalties for not doing so ... its an old joke that will become a criminal act in October

 

[Lazylion]

I would contact your favorite FFL and ask
