I get the OP's concern. These days I would worry if I lived in a state like Maryland. What we should be mindful of is that we want to prevent our front doors being kicked in by SWAT or ATF if a gun we no longer own is used in a vicious crime. Them finding our bloodstained paperwork after we are dead from police gunfire won't bring us back from the dead.
Does that sound like paranoia? Well, yesterday's paranoia is today's reality for gun owners in certain states.
Absolutely keep contacting State PD until they get you to the right department to update their records. I've gone through all kinds of hell in the healthcare system because their records are a freaking mess. Different situation for me, not gun related, but an example of how one can come close to death's door from red tape and poor record keeping, which is par for the course when dealing with institutions.
None of my firearms are on record, except possibly one I bought within the last couple years. It's a bolt gun. Nothing "scary."
My state is turning bad for gun owners. I'll likely move to Missouri or Iowa to stay free. Or to Texas for our last stand.
