I find it hard to believe that someone could take a rifle, put it in a case, and no one questioned him. Plus, I thought the doors going out of the museum area, had emergency alarms. If they were disabled, or malfunctioning, it may have been an inside job, by an employee, or an associate of an employee.

Lets hope they find out all details.

Another stolen firearm in the DFW area. Be aware if you see a CZ Scorpio Evo 3 offered.

If and when I go to the local PD and ask to check if a gun it's stolen, can I request a police print out of the results? or is there a document that I can request to prove that I in good faith tried to verify the status of the gun?

I would not think a PD would print a statement about a gun not being stolen but if the gun is stolen it is your loss.
Best is to keep your firearm(s) locked in a safe or on you to ensure you don't contribute to the stolen firearm database.

I agree with the posts above but I also would never buy into a good deal to good to be true. If for example a seller offers a like new Glock 22 for $200, is in a hurry, can't answer simple questions like how much he paid and where he bought it.
I have bought and sold severals used and new firearms from members of this forum and quiet frankly I haven't even thought one of the could be a bad apple.
I kept records of all information including the serial number of the firearm just in case.
Showing a CHL/ LTC and a matching TX DL gives some peace of ming but there could be an issue as well.
I do not think there is a way to know a firearm can't be in question by buying it as a used item, not even if the seller agrees to a bill of sale.
