where I can look up the serial number to see if its been stolen? I called the local police precinct but they said they couldn't help me unless I brought in the gun. I can't bring it in with out buying it first and then I'd be out all that money if it were stolen.

A. I do not want a gun so that I can shoot people. I want a gun so that I can shoot at targets on a safe and reputable range for stress relief purposes. B. My friend is not a bad person. In her mind the source she bought her gun from was not at all questionable. I have not met that source though and she tends to be naive at times.

I think you should buy a gun from someone reputable..
But even if you buy this one, be extra sure that the gun wasn't used in a crime or it could be taken away.
It is all really iffy and you would be better off with a purchase that is more secure.. Lots of good used guns around for sale. They can be sold in the news classifieds.. look around
Be sure to find out the laws in the state where you live, they vary some from state to state..
If you buy a gun get some gun safety instructions and go to a shooting range and learn how to use it safely, don't just keep it and think you only have to pull the trigger. Be safe.

Don't buy the gun. If it was already purchased from a questionable source, you may not have valid title to it, even if it doesn't show up on a list of stolen guns; whatever list you check may not be comprehensive.
You also don't know how well it's been maintained or if it has been damaged in any way. Stay clear of this deal. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

I am not sure why you would want to buy a gun like this - do you live in NYC where the laws to obtain a gun make it difficult?
Assuming you are looking for something for personal defense, I would suggest going to a small gun shop and talking with them about your needs. They can suggest something for your body and hand size and can also refer you to a gun safely course in your area. Remember if you plan on carrying it with you will likely need a concealed carry permit.

If your afraid that the gun is stolen the best thing to do is not buy it. Get a gun through a legitament source. Not from a friend.

If your friend is confident that it is not stolen, go down to the police department with the gun and your friend as a condition of the sale. If your friend is not willing to go, walk away from the deal.

Bullets and shell casings used in crimes are saved. They are entered into a data base. If this gun was used in a crime how would you like to explain to the D.A. and police how you came to own it?And that it wasn't you or someone you know who committed a crime?
Do society a favor,buy the gun and give it to the police.
I own about 20 guns myself,all legal it is these backstreet purchased guns giving my hobby a bad name.

With all due respect to answerer number 1, Have you ever heard of self-protection? I've been through / escaped an abusive relationship and know what real fear is.
I do, however recommend that you go through legal channels.

First you have to have a FOID card. Then a receipt that shows you bought it. As long as you do it legally when purchasing and have that card with a receipt then your covered.
