Here's my question, I take a couple of my handguns to my local gunshop, by my handguns, I mean that I had purchased them and filled out the proper paper work at the time of purchase.
Now I want to trade them in on the latest whiz bang gun of the week. The shop owner and I come to terms on the trade, he takes my guns, there is no paper work involved, they just disappear behind the counter, at least that's how it has always worked for me.
The question is at what point are they transferred out of my name.
The shop owner takes them back and puts them in a store room, for a day or a year, and they are stolen and then connected to a crime whose name shows up as the owner?
Could a shop owner gift a traded gun without any transfers being made, how does this kinda stuff work?
