Not before the firearm is pawned. To pawn a firearm, you must have proof of your identity. Before the firearm can be redeemed when it has been pawned, the pawn shop will have you complete a Form 4473, and conduct a background check, same as if you bought the gun from them. If you cannot pass a background check, the firearm CANNOT be returned to you. You can SELL it to the pawnshop, or have them sell it on your behalf. Pawnshops hold a special Federal Firearms License (an 02FFL) and must follow the procedures laid out in Federal law.
When a US firearms dealer transfers ownership of a firearm to a private person, the person must complete a form 4473. This form supplies the information for the background check, and is stored by the dealer for a period of 20 years. Some states require additional forms. This does not apply to antique firearms, including muzzleloading firearms.
Sell it or give it away to someone within the state of Virginia who can legally possess a firearm. No paperwork required, though you can record who you sold/gave the firearm to. Intrastate transfers are not usually regulated unless you live in a state with prohibitive gun laws. Alternatively, you can also sell it online to people in other states via equipment exchanges on forums and other means. However, you MUST send the firearm to an FFL (Federal Firearm Licensee) and the recipient of the firearm must fill out an ATF Form 4473 before taking possession of the firearm.
What if indeed? WalMart has been among the largest retailers of firearms in the US. Their sales of firearms must comply with Federal and State law, just as any licensed dealer must comply. If buying a firearm, you must complete the Federal form 4473, the seller requires you to provide proof of identity and age, and conducts a criminal background check by phone. All are required by Federal law, whether buying a gun from a local gunshop, or WalMart.
Visit a gun dealer, and talk with them. To purchase a firearm from a dealer, you will need to complete a Form 4473. There are questions on the form that relate to whether you can legally purchase a firearm. Of course, you must be old enough, and must not have been convicted of a felony, under indictment, a fugitive from justice, illegal alien, adjudged mentally incompetent, convicted of crime of domestic violence, drug addict, dishonorably discharged from the military, have renounced US citizenship, etc. The dealer cannot answer the questions for you, so if after reading that you still have questions, contact the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF). Their number should be on the first page of your phone book.
Go to a gun store. Take 2 IDs with your picture showing where you live. Complete the form 4473, wait while the dealer does a background check, pay the dealer. In some states you must wait a period of days before you can pick up the gun.
A "green card" is issued to immigrant aliens in the US- aka resident aliens. The holder of a green card may purchase firearms in the US. There are restrictions on NON-immigrant aliens buying firearms (they must meet certain criteria to do so) but Immigrant Aliens are treated as citizens are treated. The question asked on the form 4473 that a gun dealer must have you complete deals with Illegal Aliens, and non-immigrant aliens. PS- my wife of 40 years is a British subject- has her green card- and has purchased firearms- and has a concealed weapons license.
It depends on where you are, but the short answer is, you can't. In the U.S. most states do not require registraition, and in the few that do, the information isn't available to the general public, and there is no federal registration. --------------------------- Actually, there is a federal form that everyone from every state has to fill out when you purchase any firearm from a federally liscensed dealer (gunshops) That is form 4473. The dealer has to keep the form for 20 years. The forms must be surrendered to the ATF when you go out of business if it is before the 20 year period. In other words, the dealer you bought the guns from can tell you which guns are registered to you if he is still in business. _____________________ The 4473 form is not the same thing as registration, and any guns that are bought and sold between individuals don't require a 4473 in many states, so the answer to the original question still is, you can't find out what guns are registered to you, because there is no federal registration, and most states don't require it, and in the states that do, the registration database isn't available to the general public.
