The presence of a machine gun in a room, boat, or vehicle is evidence of the possession or use of the machine gun by each person occupying the room, boat, or vehicle. This subtitle does not prohibit or interfere with: the manufacture, sale, and transportation of a machine gun for or to a military force or peace officer of the United States, a state, or a political subdivision of a state; the possession of a machine gun for a scientific purpose; the possession, as a curiosity, ornament, or keepsake, of a machine gun that cannot be used as a weapon; the possession of a machine gun for a purpose that is manifestly not aggressive or offensive; or the transportation of a lawfully possessed machine gun by a person who is carrying a court order requiring the surrender of the machine gun, if: the machine gun is unloaded; the person has notified the law enforcement unit, barracks, or station that the machine gun is being transported in accordance with the court order; and the person transports the machine gun directly to the law enforcement unit, barracks, or station. A court may issue a warrant to search for and seize a machine gun possessed in violation of this subtitle under the same procedure as for issuance of a warrant for stolen property. On application by the State’s Attorney, a court may order the confiscation or destruction of a legally seized machine gun or the transfer of the machine gun to a peace officer of the State or a political subdivision of the State.
