Best Answer

When a person sells a firearm they essentially sign a contract stating that the firearm is in fact said person's property. The pawn shop cannot treat everyone as criminals and it rarely happens, but it does from time to time. The original owner must file a police report when firearm was stolen. There is some paper work and steps but it will be returned.
