[QUOTE="djsmithinvesting, post: 901678, member: 9207"] I asked a friend of mine who owns a well known local gunshop a question along the lines of this thread. Basically he said that stolen guns is a dont ask type of business. If you dont ask, then you dont know, if you dont know then you are blame free. In reality, Im sure that a large percentage of guns on the open market are stolen, and you can get them through honest dealings. And if you call your guns in to check, all your doing is risking losing your gun. The guy who lost it doesnt get it back, it will be turned into fence posts by the insurance company who paid the claim and legally owns it. They wont sell it due to liability, so it gets recycled. And if the guy who lost it doesnt have insurance there is still no point, how hard would the police really look for the real owner? I bet they wouldnt even pick up the phone. They will just sell it in an evidence auction along with the others. So really, in the long view, whats the point of worrying about it. As long as you didnt steal it, or knowingly buy a stolen gun, you didnt do anything wrong and CANNOT be charged with wrong doing. Now before you guys start tearing me up, Im not advocating buying stolen guns, Im saying dont call in the ones you already own. IF you think a guy is trying to sell stolen guns, by all means, call the cops. But dont call in your own stuff, cause all that will happen is you lose. [/QUOTE]
