I've bought handguns from private aquaintances, with them telling me that the gun has never been registered, and the history from them says jon doe bought it from his uncle, that got it from the original owner who used to be a jeweler, that bought it many years ago for his wife.. So after understanding the firearm went through three owners that are now deseased, I let my friend know that I was gonna have the sheriff run the numbers, and also assuring him that the Sheriff don't need to know who i intended to buy from, just that I'm considering buying such and such a handgun, MFG.,Caliber,model, semi auto, serial # XXXXXX .. they ran the numbers and said your good to go, and I left and made my purchase, and that was that..
