Alpo Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Do the cops in California make weekly trips to all of the gun shops, where they check the serial numbers of all used guns against their stolen gun list? Here in Florida they do this at the pawn shops. But not the gun shops. When my daughter's pistol was stolen the pawn shop detail found at IT, DAMMIT, the next week. But if the guy had taken it to an actual gun shop, first he would have probably got more than $60 for it, and second the cops would have never found it.

El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I don't believe so, but there is some law where gun shop owners can't sell guns they buy used for I believe 30 days. I suppose this is to ensure they aren't stolen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 How would they know? If I steal a gun from Pat, and take it down to Ye Olde Friendly Pawn Shoppe and hock it, the pawn shop detail will catch it in week. But if I take it down to Joe's Gun Shop, and sell it to Joe, he puts it in his bound book, and then sits on it for a month? Why? Is there any way for him to check that it's been stolen? is there any requirement for him to check if it's been stolen? That's why I asked about the cops. If, using a fake ID, I sell a stolen gun to Joe, take my money and split, and then sometime over the next month Joe checks the gun and discovers that it's been stolen, he is out the money he paid me for the gun. It is against his interest to find out, after the fact, that he bought a stolen gun, because he will have lost his money. It's like realizing he has a counterfeit $20 bill in the register. If he takes it to the bank or the police and turns it in (like he should) he is out $20. On the other hand, if he gives it to me in change, I'm the one that is out $20. And if I know absolutely that he gave it to me, he can claim innocence - "I don't know nothin' 'bout no phony $20 bill". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Kraken Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 One of the gun shops here in Tallahassee is owned by two retired sheriff's deputies. They would love to have some lowlife come in and try and sell them a stolen gun. Anyway, most of the shops in town only take used guns from individuals on consignment. I doubt many crooks want to go the consignment route with their loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I believe that if you try to pawn a gun in CA the pawn broker can run the numbers on the gun to determine if any flags come up on it but I am sure there is a time lag on the DOJ end of things.

It will also 'pop' when the new owner does the NCIS stuff. IIRC, stolen guns(unless LEO or military)are only listed as such for 7 yrs. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 So when y'all do the NICS, they not only ask if Pat Riot is a criminal but they list the serial number of the gun he is wanting to buy? 1 hour ago, The Original Lumpy Gritz said: It will also 'pop' when the new owner does the NCIS stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 In San Diego, the cops make daily trips to the beach for bikini inspections. They only come out for bikinis and dead bodies. When we were living at the beach, this was a daily occurrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancho Roy Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Are you sure nic asks for serial number? I thought it only asked type, rifle, shotgun, handgun....no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Black's Beach is the nudie place... It is secluded and a good hike down to the T&A... no easy Park and Watch there. Most police action at that beach are rescuing the dumb asses who fall or get into trouble on the bluffs. Cops favor Pacific Beach, at Reed and the Boardwalk. Easy parking for LEOs and the show never ends. It is right around the corner from us, but we will never live there again. Too nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Naa... the ratio of Men:Women in San Diego is SO HIGH regular guys will never stand a chance. You are competing with the very finest physical specimens from the military, for starters. After that, most of the women I've seen/heard are about a half-step above AOC, or a half-step below Megan Rapinoe. You ain't missin' nothin'... sit on the beach, enjoy the scenery, then go home. The beach is a zoo. The girls must be vampires... I've been going to this beach since 1955. The girls never age... not at all. It is hard to be in your 20s and ugly... you really have to work at it.

The Feds are not the ones who will be going door to door confiscating guns. That will be done at the State level.

Alpo Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 The question was about NICS. Not DROS. What info DROS may or may not collect has no bearing on the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
