First off, apologies if this is in the wrong place, but HQL questions seem to be scattered all over the place.
I recently applied for the MD HQL, and marked training exempt based on current gun ownership. Specifically my father gave me his Colt M1911 Transition model (made in 1924) way back in the mid 1980s. Of course it was exempt from any sort of check or registration, and it was presumably already C&R when he gave it to me (though I didn't know it at the time.)
I put the s/n and other info on my HQL application, which was submitted a couple of weeks ago. Looking at the status pretty much everything is marked Completed, but Training is still marked Incomplete. My question is how do MSP know that I actually possess the gun I listed? Do they just assume it's as I've stated, or is there more involved. Do I need to go and do a voluntary registration for it, or should I just expect a phone call from them? I know the law just says legally owned, which it is. Or am I just being overly concerned?
And yes, I realized that I should have just done the W&C Permit first, or hunter safety training, but I didn't find this forum until after I'd started the process.
Thanks, and now off to introduce myself.
