[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 819092, member: 8362"] I bought a revolver from a co-worker once. Didn't know him well, he worked in another department. After the transaction and the more I thought about it the more concerned I became. So, I called the county sheriffs' department and ask the deputy if he would mind "running" the serial number for me. He did so gladly, it didn't show up on the records he checked, and , before we hung-up the phones, he thanked me for being a concerned citizen! Now, that was in a small, rural county. They may not feel they have time for such things in the bigger, urban counties.:twocents: A FFL has no way of knowing if a firearm is stolen or not. The serial number is not given during the NICS back ground check (it is a back ground check on the BUYER not the seller), but it is recorded in the space provided on the 4473. When a FFL buys from an individual he/she records the sellers name, address, and number on the I.D. , some want to keep a photo copy of the I.D. in their files for documentation just like they keep the certified copy of a FFL who they have purchased from. Without documentation on the "Acquisition" side of "the bound book" there can be no "Disposition"(sale). [/QUOTE]
