Best Answer

If you are in the US, there is no central registration to keep track of a gun's current or previous owners. The police can check some databases to find lists of firearms reported stolen, but many cannot be identified because the person who owned it didn't know the serial number (and often not even the manufacturer, model or even caliber).

Can you own a handgun with a domestic order against you?

It depends. If you are taking the restricted PAL course and the application is filled in properly one of the questions pertains to your spouse or ex spouse. This person will be contacted. The application also asks if you such orders against you (noting that this will not necessarily disallow you from ownership). The long and short is if you have a history of violence or are being investigated for the same or your spouse or ex spouse says you are dangerous you can pretty much forget owning a handgun. Also note that you must belong to a registered handgun club before you can purchase restricted weapons.
