Long time ago...my m&p came with one i just tossed itKyle "Kenosha Kid" Rittenhouse did nothing wrong -
I always keep the envelope sealed and in the original case - stored in drawers and boxes... I don't know why, but since the first to last gun I've always kept it and never open envelope.
I think I originally felt like it would help resale (don't ask for logic or reason, there is none really
)... but of the three pistols I've sold, I don't think it was even noticed.

NY and I think MD, maintains a library of spent cases that come with new handguns sold in those states. They're used to compare to cases found at crime scenes.Comment

Maryland requires submission of the spent case at the time of transfer.My Marketplace Feedback: https://www.calguns.net/forum/market...k#post54003245Comment

Some states required fired brass. The states DOJ wanted it to solve crime.
I want to say Maryland was the first state to make the mandate
They dropped the program as it did nothing to address not solve crime.
The states that require brass can take it via the FFL so the buyer ends up with 1 or no brass.
For the history, start with googling fired cases and MArylandRule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED
Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)
Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET
Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT
