That really stinks Terry, so much for living in a free country. Fortunately the laws in Maryland are slightly better then the ones in my home state of Illinois. When a firearm is confiscated, or whatever term one chooses to use, it is SUPPOSED to be sent to a facility in Chicago where it is cut up and melted down, no exceptions. I have a friend that is a Deputy Sheriff in our county, population of about 100,000, he says that it is not uncommon for someone to make two or three trips to Chicago each week. I asked if they destroyed all weapons, even collector firearms such as Lugers, he answered in the affirmative.
