Posting serial numbers

[Kyrie]

Worst case is the pistol turns out to be stolen, the real owner sees it, reports it, and you don't have a bill of sale. That's possible jail time and the loss of your right to ever again possess a firearm.


There are a lot of variations on this (and the ever-present concern of the registration of firearms). Generally speaking, you are protected from prosecution if you can prove you purchased the pistol legitimately. You will still lose the pistol, as it is stolen property, but the issue will generally end there.


Best regards,
