What Owners Of 18 Semiautomatic Pistols Must Do
If you own one of the 18 semiautomatic pistols covered by a gun control law, action depends on how purchased. Those from licensed dealers are already registered with police. Private sales and gun shows require registration with state police by August 1. Unregistered guns by that date may be confiscated and owners fined or jailed. Registration forms are at state police barracks and should be mailed to the Firearms Registration Section, 11 Belmont Ave., Woodlawn, MD 21244.
