Whatever gave you the idea that a firearm had to be registered in Kentucky? Like MOST states, Kentucky does not require registration of firearms. The exception would be guns regulated by Federal Law under the National Firearms Act- such as machine guns.
According to the California Gun Attorney, California laws provide harsh penalties for mere possession of some firearms, accessories and ammunition.
Additionally, despite already having some of the nation's strictest gun laws, Democrats in California have just proposed a sweeping list of bills to that include a ban on all semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines, require all guns to be registered, forbid any ammunition to be purchased without a special permit in California, require confiscation of all registered assault weapons, require liability insurance, etc.
Since the California state assembly and state senate are controlled by the Democrats, they are expected to pass and Democrat Governor Jerry Brown to sign them into law. This will criminalize millions of current law abiding gun owners if they decide their 2nd amendment rights have been violated by the state of California and simply refuse to comply with the new laws.
Actual criminal perpetrators of crime do not follow gun laws so this legislation will only affect the good citizens of the state.
It's expected it will go to the courts and very likely all the way to the Supreme Court. In the meantime, many good citizens of California will likely be imprisoned for, knowingly or unknowingly, failing to comply with Democrat draconian gun control legislation in California and their ability to defend themselves against criminals dramatically curtailed.
This despite gun deaths and injuries sharply dropping in California even as the number of guns sold in the state has risen, according to recent state data.
Texas has an open carry law. as long as you were carrying it where it was visible, there is no crime. unless you are a convicted felon.
As long as you legally possess the gun, there is no penalty. Texas doesn't require registration to own a handgun or a long gun.
None at all. It is legal.

I know of no gun registeration in Maryland. No such thing as a unregistered gun.
in MOST of the US, there is no requirement to register a gun.
There is no Federal law requiring registration of guns. MOST states also do not require it. No penalty.

None. PA does not require gun registration- like MOST of the US does not.
Alabama - like most states - does not require registration of ordinary Title I firearms.
Like most states, Georgia does not require registration of ordinary Title I firearms.
Depends on the law where you are, and whether it is legal to have a gun, and what you were doing with it. Without that information, we cannot even guess at an answer. Sort of like "what is penalty of having car?"
There is no general requirement to register guns in Virginia. Only a few states in the United States require guns to be registered; some states have made it illegal to register guns, as the United States has made it illegal to create a national gun registry.
None.
