Sorry to ask again, but has anyone heard of an instance where charges were filed for failure to register? I hear what everyone is saying about rights and the statutes that define the penalty, but has anyone actually been brought up on charges? Specifically, any charges against an individual for this single offense? Obviously, I don't want it to be me, and I'm going to register ALL that I need to, but just asking for a friend who won't comply.
Got a call from MSP, and told to register my guns

Maybe your "friend" may not have heard of MD's absurd laws . . .
No doubt if there's a problem, he'd certainly take steps to make it right.

No, it will just be that both states will claim he owes them taxes.
Probably
That said, if they really were inclined to get warrants and go for a legal case, I’d bet they could. You’d be amazed at all of the digital bread crumbs you leave. Cell phone tracking data, EZ pass scans, emails you’ve sent saying things like “at the beach this week, but I’ll be back at my place in the mountains for a day or two”. Credit card receipts establishing where you are usually purchasing locally. Etc.
I don’t remotely see a state going through anything like that effort to PROVE you really reside primarily in one state VS another. But in theory they could probably prove it.
