I was reading a post on the Smith & Wesson forum from a guy in Maine that purchased a stolen gun from a dealer at a gun show in Maine. He later learned it was stolen and had to return the handgun to the Police as evidence and was out $1000 because under Maine law the dealer had no liability.
What are the laws in Indiana? If you buy a firearm from a dealer in state or at an instate gun show is the dealer liable? If you had kept the receipt and paperwork that came with the gun and you could prove you bought the gun from dealer XYZ on a certain date?
I always assumed that if you bought the gun from a private individual you were on your own and had to suck up the loss, do you have any additional protection buying from a dealer?
