re: Hypothetical for the OB

I am assuming the gun is stored in a safe? If there were fingerprints there was a class 3 stamp. There is paperwork somewhere, you need to find that. If the gun was set up under a trust it is most likely that another ATF background check will not be needed. If he got it without a trust I think one will be needed and the gun might need to be held by someone else. A lawyer also might be needed in this...
