I would also pray to god the gun wasnt used in a crime because if it was and you used a cell or house phone or any other phone that can be connected to you, your gonna get a friendly visit from a police officer or perhpas a swat team...

You've been whating too much CSI. Short of it being stolen, how the hell would anyone be able to tell if it was used in a crime just by the SN?

[J-cat]

Because they know everything. I suggest we all stop typing cuz some prosecutor out there is about accuse us of connspiring to be an accessory after the fact.

From what I've seen, they can figure out the make and model of the gun used, but not which particular gun it was. When they say "it was this particular gun" it's based on ballistics and the person in possession of it (meaning, gang member, was already a suspect and they happened to have a gun that matched the ballistics evidence or something along those lines).

Call the local PD and have them run a check on the serial to see if it is stolen, then if all is OK then do a voluntary registration.

Sounds a bit shady, has the serial number been ground off

i say put it in a safe and keep it in a safe!

It is in a safe and for the most part it stays in the safe. I take it to the range every once in a while, and while I would never be afraid to use it in a SD/HD situation, it is not my primary for that purpose...

Morally, I know I'm ok, the pistol was never listed as lost/stolen. It was never used in a crime.

Legally I don't know... Most LEO's I know(and thats a lot) tell me, that the large % of LEO's would question me, check the Serial #, look at my record (clean as a whistle), and send me on my way (it's not like I carry it around all the time), but there are always exceptions to that... Maybe I should get legal counsel.

While I may not like the laws that CA passes and I try hard to change them, they are currently the laws on the books.

[J-cat]

Umm, no. Most LEO's would run the serial number, and do one of two things: If it is in AFS registered to someone else- confiscate it, or of it is not listed in AFS- let you keep it unless it is stolen.

when you call in and ask and they it comes up yes. a lot of times your guilty until proven innocent.

What is the serial number of the gun?

Anyways, having an unregistered gun is not a crime. Selling/ buying unregistered gun is not a crime if it is done through a FFL.

Are you sure about this? I really doubt you know what you're talking about here.

I have to believe the expert here. After all, a man in his position has to know a little about this.

Hahah. Thank you. I was thinking it, but I didn't want to say it.

Wow, :tfh: brigade!

Just call in the number and make sure its clean, if still worried, do a voluntary reg on it. If really paranoid, melt it in a forge.
