That doesn't help when you've got the guy standing in front of you at the gun show wanting $450 for a Webley-Fosbery right now or he'll go to the guy at the next table over.<br /><br />Does he look honest?

I've seen a couple stolen guns get recovered that way. (TN FFLs also have the ability to run the gun through TICS when they buy it, although it's not always practical.)<br /><br />I've also seen a brand new Charter Arms Undercover return a hit as being stolen in the early '80s, despite the gun only being months old. Apparently, the new Charter Arms was re-using serial numbers used by one of the earlier incarnations of the company. They sent a cop to get the gun, and we had to keep TICS on the line and show the po-po the invoice for the brand new gun.

The biggest problem I had with it was that the customer gets stuck paying for a permit, a requirement of which is an inspection, and then the inspecting authority takes no responsibility for not catching defects after signing off on an inspection.

A local police chief could really ruin your week if you wanted to buy a handgun.<br /><br />They could limit the hours you could pick up the purchase permit (at the time also finger print your thumbs IIRC) which was only valid for 10 days. After purchase at their discretion could require you to leave the firearm over night for a safety inspection (again a limited time window NOT after business hours). Finally require a third trip to pick the gun back up. All this was only valid in YOUR HOME CITY so no running out quickly at lunch from work. <br /><br />Michigan gun laws still leave a lot to be desired but they are a whole lot better than they were.unknown.rodentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-12031085632086147162011-06-16T11:53:20.688-04:002011-06-16T11:53:20.688-04:00Been singing this all morning:
