Re: Best Practices for avoiding buying a stolen weapon

The only gun I ever bought that was stolen was purchased from a police officer. He had bought it from another police officer who bought it from a pawn shop that he moonlighted at as a security guard. Turned out the gun had been stolen a year before by a drugged up son from his father, but his father hadn't discovered the theft until a week or so before I bought it.

Thankfully both police officers and the pawn shop were stand up people. The officer I bought it from returned my money and I returned the gun. I understand he got his money back from the first officer who got his money back from the pawn shop which returned it to the father.

So in the end doing business with good people is the best no matter what!
