They make a police report so that if it is used in a crime after that day and time then they can see that it wasn't you, as far as getting re-imbursed, do you have renter's insurance? It may be covered.
It is possible.
Go back to the store where you bought it.
what gun are we talking about here
No. You won't be returned a firearm which has the serial number removed.
It might be one stolen from me some years ago. I'll get back to you for sure.
Contact your local police department and give them the serial number. The Police can check on the stolen gun list maintained by the BATFE. If the gun is stolen, the Police will conficate the piece and begin investigation of how it was acquired.
Contact the police.
Expect the police to expect YOU to explain how you came to possess a gun that had been stolen- just like any other property.
Depends on the DA.
