My wife and I stopped into a local pawn shop today to see what they had to offer. My wife was looking at the jewelry and I of course went over to see what they had in stock in their gun counter. While I was looking I overheard the lady behind the counter on the phone. She was appearently on the phone with the local police and explaining to them that she had an AR that she wanted them to come and confiscate because it had no serial number on the lower. She told them she had allready talked to the ATF and that it wasnt illegal as it was built by someone using an 80% lower. She then went on to say that she couldnt sell it as it was untraceable without a serial number and she just wanted it picked up and destroyed. Made me wonder how it came to be in their possession in the first place? When they buy or loan against a weapon dont they have to record and run serial numbers to make sure the weapon wasnt stolen? If the ATF said it wasnt illegal then could they have not sold it? or is that not possible because they are an FFL?. Any way, it was sad to think that a perfectly good rifle ended up in a scrap pile (or a local cops collection? LOL). And as for the jewelry and firearms, they were all price like or higher than new!.
