points have already been made: who sells a gun to a pawn shop? and why?
- it's fast.
- it's relatively easy.
- quick cash.
not saying it's smart...
a person has two options in dealing with the pawn shop: taking out a loan and using the gun (or item) as collateral. Pawn shop tags it, and holds it in the back room. If loanee defaults on the loan, after 30 days or so, the pawn shop is free to sell the item. and I believe by law, the pawn shop has to submit things like guns to a theft background search. They can't sell stolen goods, or shouldn't. The other avenue is straight out sale to the pawn shop. Pawn shop will buy things they think they can sell at a profit. And they don't offer top dollar. But it's quick.
