My mother just mentioned today that sometime between 1972 - 1975 she purchased what she believes to be a .38 revolver in California which she believes she had to register for. She had no interest in guns, but my biological father wanted her to buy it. I have not had a relationship with him, but I know she had to leave in a hurry because of his violence towards her and others. When she left in 1982 she forgot about the gun and didnt remember until today apparently. I dont know what type of records were kept back then, but chances are there is a .38 floating around somewhere in California that is under her name. She wants to know who to contact and what she should say, I am assuming she should talk to the BATFE, but I dont know if that would be the proper first step or not.
Any ideas??
