Before anyone blasts me, I will be calling the local PD but I was curious if anyone had called a PD before and had a SN run for a firearm? I'm curious about one of the handguns I own, having bought it FTF many years ago. Is this a service the PD usually offers or not?
Firearm SN check?

Re: Firearm SN check?
If a firearm is reported stolen and a SN is provided to the authorities they may be able to verify whether the weapon in your possession is stolen property or not...other than that they would have no information on the weapon unless it was registered with the police department.

Just understand that if there is something up with the gun, they are going to take it from you and you will probably never see again.

That's fine. If there is something cross about the firearm then they can have it. I just would rather know.

Well I guess it doesn't matter. For some reason I was thinking that VA required handguns to be registered, which prompted me to have the SN checked. However the state of VA does not require registration, so it is now a mute point.
