Depends on the state laws where you live. Federal law does not require paperwork- some states DO, some DON'T. Without knowing where you are, not possible to answer.

How do you show proof of ownership for a firearm if you don't have the receipt?

The firearm dealer has a record of each sale. He must keep these records for review by the ATF/ATFE on demand. From these records, the dealer can provide the manufacturer, along with the serial number of the firearm and the sale date and to whom it was sold. If it was a private sale between individuals, there may be a record or there may not.

Can you register a gun off the streets?

no you can not. buying a firearm off the street means that the gun is illegally seized or bought. due to this, serial numbers are scratched off by the seller (so it can not be traced) which makes registering a firearm impossible. in addition, any attempt to register a firearm without its serial number will cause you to do a lot of explaining to authorities. Is it the term "off the street" that bothers you? The term "private sale" is more "politically correct". A private sale is legal in most places. If you feel driven to "register" your legal, newly purchased firearm, if it is indeed not stolen, or reported lost by the last owner, there is no reason you cannot register it. Of course, if the serial number is eradicated, the firearm is no longer legal. But why would you want to?


What is the legal age to purchase a gun in Kansas?

In theory you could buy a gun in Kansas on the day you are born.Federal law sets the minimum ages as 18 for long guns and 21 for handguns from Federally licensed dealers.For private sales or transactions however the law is different.Handguns are restricted to 18 years of age in private sales or transactions.There is no federal law in regards to minimum age for the private sale or transaction of a firearm not defined as a handgun.Kansas law only restricts the private sale or transaction of a firearm with a barrel of less than 12 inches and sets the minimum age for such transactions at 18.Basically there is no age restriction on buying a firearm in Kansas as long as it has a barrel of 12 inches or greater.
