I just want to make sure what I am thinking is correct or not.
A Virginia resident buy any firearm doesn’t need to register in Local Police Department, a lot of other states also don’t require to register. but I like to know when the dealer ask you to fill out a yellow form and call LPD to check your background, Does he also tell police what kind of firearm ( model, serial number ) a customer who want to buy and he needs to check this person’s background? or he just tell police the customer’s information and doesn’t mention about the gun? If he tell LPD the gun’s model and serial number, I think this gun already link to you name and record in LPD ‘s database after you buy. In other word, the LPD should have this kind of firearm database but maybe it is not 100 % complete.If LPD has this kind of database and someday I want to sell my gun. I have to keep the bill forever. If something happen in future, I can show the LPD this gun already sold. But I don't understand why some people like to sell or buy the gun by "off-paper"?
Thanks!
