No. But most importers and mfgs have made it SOP because a few places required it.

Case indicates weapon has been function tested and it works.
Lock is a liability thing. Throw it in the trash. |

The spent casing is to meet the requirement I believe of one of the states.

I seem to recal some manufactures used to put a sticker on some gun boxes saying something like "fired case included for MD and MA," or something like that. |

Is the identity of the firearm a secret?

Some guns, usually higher end makes, already came with fired casings or even test targets long before there were state laws requiring it.
I think even now it's still up to the manufacturer. |

Exactly, the big Ruger ones can be used like padlocks, cuz that's what they are, big padlocks with extra long hasps. The Springfield XD ones can be used as bike locks, if you have more than one, you can connect em together. |

NY state started requiring it years a go. All new guns sold had to have a fired case. The FFL had to send it in to be logged. I left NY state in 2003 at that time the cases had not been logged in took too much time.

NY state did have a ballistic identification database called COBIS...it was in place for 10 years, costed NY tens of millions to maintain and update...and never ONCE solved or helped solve a SINGLE gun crime. It was repealed last year...newly purchased handguns no longer need to come with spent shell casings for the NY State Police. |

.....Lock is a liability thing...... Wrong. Federal law requires a lock when a handgun is sold. The manufacturer includes it for that reason. |
