How can I check if a firearm is reported "stolen" before transferring to me?

Recommended Posts

Is there a way via SN search that I can check if firearms that I am about to have shipped to me have been listed as stolen?

I understand there's a site called hotgunz.com but that it's not always reliable b/c the victim reports the data into it.

Would I be able to check with (NJ) State Police without the risk of implicating myself or getting myself in trouble?

Long story short, they are handguns that belonged to my father before he passed, in possession with an out of state family friend currently, and I need to bring them back to NJ as legally as possible without getting myself into a legal mess.  But a member of the family who has a grudge w/ my mother listed some other of my father's firearms as stolen, and I need to know if these two handguns were included in that stolen report.

Thanks!!!

I Would contact the same department she reported the firearms stolen to.. they might be able to help.

 

Unfortunately I don't know what department, and she's not on speaking terms with my family.

I went to my local PD when I bought a shotgun P2P. I explained to them that I just bought it and I wanted to make sure it was on the up and up. They ran the serial, said it was ok and I walked out. Looking at your predicament, I don't know if it is a good idea. I also would assume they need to be shipped to a FFL, and it might turn up that way but I am not sure.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
