So what happens if you buy a gun and then try to resell it or take it to a shop for some work or something and it comes up say involved in a crime? I guess it could be confiscated for evidence - do they check things like that? Do gun shops send in serial numbers if somebody brings one in for some reason? Should probably wander off to a gun forum now I guess. I just never thought of this stuff before. On a ranch, grandpa always carried a pistol and usually a rifle in the truck, I was never really into them but have a couple for the occasional need to euthanize large animals etc and hubby has some he inheiretid from his Dad plus a little 22 for plinking. Just a normal part of country life.

We have a lot of illegal immigrant traffic and drugs too, I'm sure (thought all I ever find are cut fences, abandoned vehicles, and empty backpacks! All my neighbors tell me to keep the gun with me at all times especially when I am out alone, but I sorta figure it might get taken away from me and used ON me so I take my chances. Problem is a guy staying with us got beat up a couple weeks ago and that brought the reality a little closer.
