I have read that everyone on here says you should get a copy of id with bill of sale when selling a firearm in the classifieds. But can I let the state know, or somehow unregister? Thanks.
i had a "friend" (no, not me), who, when asked by an investigator what happened to a shotgun he'd sold, said it'd been stolen from his truck. The shotgun was returned to him after the investigation was concluded. He couldn't remember who he'd sold it to (who it had later been stolen from, most likely), so he just kept it.
Which makes your friend a gun thief!
better than have it get destroyed along with all the other unclaimed/illegal/crime guns the cops crush every year, was the justification. i probably would have kept it too. i probably wouldn't have lied to an investigator about how it'd left my possession, though- i'm way more likely to simply refuse to cooperate... i'm not a big fan of modern American law enforcement.
Just pointing it out is all.
Pwned.
It may not be popular but I am going to call you naive if you don't think your name is attached to every firearm you receive a "background check" for. If you simply needed a background check why all the weapon specifics including the serial number. Every one of those is being put in a data base tied to your personal info. I fully believe there will come a day when that information is abused in some form or another. That being said since there is no "registration" you can't formally transfer it. Going through an FFL though will get that firearm tied to the buyer so there will be one less firearm on the list when they come to take them away from you. My cynicism may not always be right but it never lets me down.
The serial number is not mentioned in your background check... Only whether its a long gun, handgun, or other (receiver, etc).
Wrong!
