I have been burned in the past and was sold a stolen pistol by an FFL. It was returned to the state where it was reported stolen and hopefully made it to the rightful owner.
I am considering buying a used pistol on gunbroker and don't want to buy something stolen again. It will be coming from an out of state FFL to Texas FFL.
Question
Will local law enforcement in Texas assist in checking to see if a pistol is reported stolen? What is the procedure for those who have done it? Call or bring it in person to the PD/SO? Is there a national database for stolen pistols?
