I'll jump staright into this topic. A female friend of mine had purchased a new wheel gun for her, then husband, the weapon in question was in her name on the 4473. The husband then gave the revolver to his brother just before their divorce and his arrest. This was approximately 7 or 8 years ago and the gun store where she had purchased the weapon was under different management than it is now.
OK, I know that if a dealer closes their doors and hangs it up, their books are sent to the ATF for record keeping.
So, now it's 2011 and I've been working with her, getting her used to guns and to the hobby of shooting and the Rights of ownership in Kentucky. So now she's wanting to recover this revolver from her ex-husband's brother. She told me that her ex had told her that the brother had changed the weapon out of her name and into his own name which, as far as I'm aware, can't be done without her signing off on it as well. Can some verify if I'm correct on this point?
She had gone back to the gun store that she purchased the revolver to try to get proof of her ownership, via the 4473 but was told by the owner that she had purchased it from, that he had no record of her buying it! This was the same individual that owned the gun store when she nought it, before he retired. To the best of my knowledge, the gun store is still operating with the same books or would the previous owner had his books sent to the ATF and the new owners using "new books"?
At this point, I'm trying to help her recover this weapon from parties that have it now, since it's still legally her's as best I can figure.
OK gentlemen, I'm lost at this point and looking for some sage advice on these issues. I know that once we can obtain the proof of legal ownership via the 4473 paperwork, all we have to do is turn this over to KSP with a warrant to recover it, correct?
