If you wanted to buy a handgun without a spent shell casing from the manufacturer, you had to pay an FFL 07 $20-$30 to fire your gun once for you to generate one. After about 2004, Maryland State Police stopped doing anything with the casings other than dropping them into 55 gallon drums with thousands of other casings. Totally useless. But rather than discontinue the program in 2004, they kept it going 11 more years for the sake of appearances.
