The only paperwork attached to the purchase of the gun would be the original background check which is supposed to be “destroyed” in a certain amount of time. 24 hrs. I think.




Wrong!

The electronic inquiry to the background check system is destroyed, however the hard copy that's filled out whereever the gun is purchased is kept for the lifetime of the business and then turned over to the ATF if/when the business closes. So there's always a paper trail.

Which is why it's so important to get a bill of sale signed whenever doing a private gun sale, even though it's not required by the state.

This is false. The business you buy a gun from usually don’t keep the paperwork you fill out for more than a year. There is NO system with serial numbers linked to purchasers of firearms. Some people on here have no clue what their talking about. This is AMERICA. There is NO REGISTRATION DATABASE. For frick sake. People make some things so complicated
