Have to turn a gun in

[whitetrash]

So my 30-30 I got back in October turns out to be stolen. Just spoke with a Texas Ranger and I will have to go turn it in this week. Sucks for me but I feel for the guy that it was stolen from.

How did you fnd out it was stolen?

[whitetrash]

The ranger went by my previous address and left a card. I called him and he informed me

Now that really sucks. Was it done via an FFL transfer and that is how they found it?

Yes

So who takes the loss on the firearm? You or the gun store that you bought if from?

Sucks that you have to give it back also.

Where was the gun stolen from?

Does the FFL have to reimburse you?

Ewww that blows.. He takes the loss because it is in his possession.. Could possibly take the person/store to small claims court but would end up losing mony in the end if the gun was under 1k for expenses.. Everyone looses in small claims court most times..

You should name the local gun store that buys/sells stolen guns.

This should be a reminder to everyone to write down the serial numbers to all their firearms.

i thought pawn shops had to run SN on guns before they could sell them. i was wrong apparently

[Sleeper]

Man that really really sucks. Fuck a receipt they should have your 4473 on file that proves you purchased the gun from them.

This is why ive always purchased new. I dont ever plan on selling, but adding to my collection.
