MARYLAND ANNUAL MACHINE GUN REGISTRATION
�4-403 of the Maryland Criminal Law
Article,
requires, that except in the calendar year it was purchased, every
machine gun
in this State shall be registered with the Secretary of the State Police
annually during the month of May. Also, every machine gun shall be
registered
within 24 hours after its acquisition. Failure to comply with this law
is a felony punishable by imprisonment
in the State penitentiary for a term of not more than ten years.
Maryland
law further requires that each Machine Gun Registration Form, filed with
the
Secretary, shall be accompanied by a nonrefundable registration fee of
$10.
The problem
is, the Maryland State Police have not updated the annual registration form, and they are NOT
sending the form in the mail as they have done for decades. The "pdf"
version of the annual machine gun registration form on the Maryland
State Police web site is 2 years out of date.
The Maryland State
Police Licensing Division is telling those who call about not receiving
the updated form that they should download the old 2009-2009 form on the
MSP website, scratch out the 2008-2009 and write in 2010-2011. This is
great is you have internet access, but presents a real problem for those
who don't.
What happens to those who forget to register because
they never received this year's form is unknown at this time.
Despite
the fact that the Maryland State Police are the cause of this potential
debacle, machine gun owners are still responsible for filing the
registration forms as required by law.
If you own a machine gun, you have until the
end of this month (Monday, May 31, 2010) to have your form in with the
Maryland State Police.
The AGC has a file copy of the original
form which we have updated to show the registration year. This form in
"fillable pdf" format was created by the AGC from the MSP's original
Word file and is available on the AGC's web site. The "AGC"pdf form has
been "not disapproved" by the MSP. However, AGC assumes no liability for the use of this form.
Keep the form on file, if the MSP
does not change it, and your address and inventory have not changed, you
can simply change the applicable years at the top of the form and
reprint the form.
BE SURE TO SEND 2 COPIES AND ASK FOR 1
STAMPED COPY TO BE RETURNED TO YOU AS PROOF OF YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH THE
LAW.
Note:
- As this email was being prepared, we were informed that after prodding by the AGC, the 2010-2011 form will be available on the MSP website "soon"...
- We were also informed by the MSP that the paper registration forms were mailed "last week"...

REMEMBERING THE BRAVE - EASTERN ARMED FORCES MEMORIAL MATCH
MAY 28 - 30, 2010
HELD AT QUANTICO ON THE MARINE BASE
In 2009, following the Marine Corps Rifle Team's
participation in the second annual Armed Forces Memorial Match in Byer's
Colorado a number of Marines decided to volunteer their personal
time in the development of a similar match to be held on the East
Coast. They
collaborated with the Remembering the Brave Foundation,
the Quantico Shooting Club, M1s for Vets, the NRA, and a
number of other wonderful organizations to develop a plan that will
rapidly make this one of the most popular matches in the country. I am
certain this year's match will be one of the most memorable matches you will
ever fire as we make a commitment to annually remember 14 American
heroes.
Each year the program will honor the memories of 14
military service members who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to
their country and for the ideals of freedom and justice around the world.
The magnificent trophies will bear the names and images of the service
members
honored each year and the winners of each match will be
permanently engraved on the trophies. This match is a Registered
Match with the NRA who has graciously waived their standard fees.
Registrations and Match fees are indicated in the match bulletin listed on
the following website. Team Match fees will be made at the match.
The program will include 1000 yd, 800 AG, and JCG
matches.
