When someone sells or trades in a firearm that serial number is put through a search. We use the website leadsonline where you enter the basic information of the customer and the serial number of the firearm. If there is a hit on the serial number then local PD or ATF will come and pick it up. I’ve never ran into a store that doesn’t operate this way when dealing with used guns.

The FFL would be taking a huge risk if they didn’t run that serial number.

We don’t do any consignment so I’m not sure how that works but as far as used guns that we buy or guns that are used for trade are all checked.
