I saw a thread on this previously that really didn't have a definitive answer.
If I wish to purchase a gun online from out of state, does anyone know how to check the serial number to see if it is stolen gun? I have had one stolen before and the IMPD stated that they enter the SN into a database so that gun shops and pawn shops can check it if someone tries to pawn it off. I don't know if this is a statewide, national or local database.
Does anyone know if it is standard practice for all states to do this and if so, would I check with the state police from which the gun originates or the city/county police.
Thanks
