I kinda doubt your mother names you J for your first name and G for your last... Someone must have said you should be secretive about posting...

Well, I have only lived in one state that required registration and that was Hawaii, so I registered those I brought over (was in the army). I have lived in about 8 or 9 states and registering a firearm always seemed weird to me, as none except HI required it....

So, if you are required to register and worried about it, then register it.

Simply look up gun laws for the state and see if required. Also see what the laws state about transporting to a range (whether the range requires you to have a registration card etc).

Every forum will give slightly conflicting answers, because every forum has different members.

Check it out legally and then decide if you want to legally do what is required or keep to yourself.
