IT is routine for police to ask this nowdays. You can see it all the time on TV, on the "cops" shows (not the fiction ones, the ones with real cops making stops, etc.) They almost ALWAYS ask, "Do you have any guns, knives, dangerous weapons, drugs, (or) anything I should know about in the car, sir?" Or something like that. SO, maybe what you felt was an unusual question was simply an unexpected use of their current SOP?

Actually it is. MD law has only one provider for NICS checks & its the MSP. ALL NICS checks are performed by them.
Which is why I say is it registration? so much.

It's MD law that requires the serial number, not NICS. That requirement is in addition to the NICS requirements, which are Federal only. NICS will let states substitute their own background check systems

Still 100% missing the point.
MD has MSP as the sole contact portal for NICS. Its still NICS, not a state check, its just routed through the MSP. Yes the state requires more info than NICS does but the question: "is it registered" is just as valid.

You're missing the point that I never said anything about state laws My point is NICS doesn't require serial numbers Your point is about MD law, and the fact they might also use the NICS data base is not relevent to what I stated, because MD doesn't have to give NICS the numbers either Your guns are not "registered" with the Federal Govt through NICS It's done on the state level, through their own draconian rules, and doesn't apply to other states nor the Federal Govt If it was "still NICS, not at state check", I highly doubt they'd have a web page stating otherwise: The FBI says MD performs their own checks, and maintains their own "registration" database http://fbinicsystem.com/us-gun-laws-...-gun-laws.html
