Ballistic "Fingerprints"

[Bawanna]

So if we live in a free state we can throw away the casing or reload it?

Does this apply to used guns? If I sell my gun to someone in Maryland (privately or via FFL transfer) and I don't have the casing, what happens?

The envelope with the case is usually the first thing tossed into the trash, usually even before the owners manual and trigger lock.
I usually keep everything just cause I want to keep it all original. I've ordered many guns for the officers here and many just take the gun, extra mags if any and just toss the rest. No love apparently.

No worries on not having the case, the manufacture supplied it, mission accomplished. No responsibility on the owners part. Some states the dealer has to remove the case and turn it in to the state authority. Only a couple require that.

Fingerprints? I don't need no stinking fingerprints!

I have multiple barrels for several of my guns and frag ammo.

That would depend on the state but I believe it only applies to new guns sold in those states... But yes you can reload it or throw it out whatever you please.. You can always make a new one for the state if you need to. Apparently some FFL dealers in those states had to make some before most manufacturers started doing it.

Certainly in my case for a defense weapon. Why would I want to keep potentially incriminating evidence around? Now, if I could just figure out how to really get rid of those pesky serial numbers on my newer, not cold carry guns.....
