If my information is correct, when you get a tax stamp for a class 3 weapon, you are basically surrendering your right to probable or reasonable cause for a search of your home are you not? This has always been one of the major hang ups for me on purchasing one. Not that I have anything to hide... I just don't want a no-knock raid on my home during meal time. Anybody know if there is any truth behind this?
Something like that. I know I always had heartburn with MD's "gun collector licence". You can get it, and buy all the guns you want, but MD state police can search your collection at anytime. Not your whole house, but your collection. And then if they see something out of place, they have PC to tear thru the rest of the house. Currently in MD you can only buy one gun/month.
