If the state of Maryland or the Federal Govt. comes around wanting me to register my handguns they have all been stolen or sold. I'll decide which one soon...

[Eaker]

I don't have any guns either.....

Stay safe; stay armed.

I have a friend who registered his weapons as required, moved across town, the police showed up two days after the move and charged him with unsafe storage. (The law also requires that the authorities be notified in advance of an address change which is how they knew to show up.) He had installed a deadbolt on a closet at his old address to satisfy the safe-storage laws but had not had time to do so at the new address. Long story short, he was fined $500, baned from owning firearms for 5 years, weapons we confiscated, and he now has a criminal record.

Don't tell me these laws are for the "protection" of the citizens!

"...they have all been stolen or sold. I'll decide which one soon..."

How about sold to an unfortunate fellow who later told you, in passing, that they'd been stolen?

You weren't required to keep any records, when you 'sold' them, and you weren't in any way responsible for reporting them 'stolen' inasmuch as they were no longer yours.

They're just 'gone'...

And when they ask 'who' you sold them to, immediately begin to reply, then do the confounded expression, grope for the name, do a running commentary about how it wasn't a good friend, just an acquaintance you met at a gun show...

Dammit! What was his name?

Promise to tell them when you remember it.

And don’t forget, you sold them at a loss... There was NO profit to report to the Income Theft Department.
