(4,378 posts)Many many states don't register any guns. It's cash and carry.
My UZI, being under 26" with the stock extended WAS considered a pistol in MI only. The feds always considered it a rifle.
Under the old law, if sold in MI, the new owner would have had to register it. It is now considered a rifle by both the feds and the state. However, it is grandfathered to me as a pistol in MI only. While I have never did it, I'm allowed to have it fully loaded in my truck. in the open, as it is covered under my carry permit.
If I ever sold it, I would have to inform the state police that it is no longer in my possession, as I have had to do whenever I sold a pistol, either in or out of state. The new owner would not have to register it as it is now a rifle.
As to the feds, they don't know what kind of gun people are buying when a background check is performed. Just that someone is buying a gun. No make or model is ever mentioned.
