*You* probably can't, but you might be able to get the local police to do it. It depends on the local policy though. I do not suggest you take the gun into a police department. I suggest you call or visit the local PD WITHOUT THE GUN and ask them if they can check it for you, and if they say no, ask them if there is a way to do it. If you buy the gun through a local licensed dealer, you don't have to worry about it.
