No, but a FOUND gun should be turned over to authorities, Possible that the gun was stolen, or discarded after being used in a crime. Could be very difficult for you to explain why YOU have a gun used in a crime.
hmm... if you have found a firearm out and about then you should take it to thenearest copshop to have the serial number checked.
You will have to check with the police.
Contact your local police. If it was reported stolen, it should be in the system.
Wait for it to get flagged when it is bought/sold or wait for someone to get caught with it by the police. The police typically check the serial number of a gun when it is found or somehow involved in a crime or traffic stop.
grab a gun
IF the Pawnshop has a Federal Firearms License, and you are looking at a rifle or shotgun, and meet the other requirements to buy a gun (legal presence in the US, not a felon, not mentally incompetent, etc,) yes, you can buy a gun. You must be 21 to purchase a handgun. Depite the misinformation in the news media, pawnshop operators must follow the same Federal law as any gun dealer.
Yes, and you should report to protect yourself if that gun is used in the commission of a crime.
No. It is a criminal matter and should be reported to the police.
what gun are we talking about here
Gunshop, pawnshop, on line gun auction.
The maker, model and serial should be somewhere on the receiver (the part around the trigger where the shells go in). You can look it up using that info. Or take it to a pawnshop or gun dealer.
