In a few easy steps, you can track this important information — which can absolve you from liability should your gun be stolen and used in a crime. From the time the gun enters your possession to the time it leaves, here's the best way to track it.

Go online. Ask the gun seller to supply you with the serial number so you can enter it on sites like HotGunz, where people who have guns stolen from them can submit the serial numbers. Enter the gun's serial number; if it's not listed, the gun has not been registered on the site as stolen. Keep in mind that a gun could still be stolen but not listed on a website, because people who don't keep track of their gun's serial numbers don't have any way to report them.

Go to the police. Check to see if your local police station will perform a National Crime Information Center NCIC check to see if any police reports have been filed listing the gun as stolen. The police usually require the gun to be in your possession, because they need to accurately input information such as make, model and barrel length.

It would be way cool to have a number search site that we could use to determine if a gun was stolen. If you turn in your insurance claim to the NRA you might have to give them numbers. If you were going to buy a gun you would have its number to search with. You wouldn't have to see all of the numbers to search. Just put one in and it could tell you if a theft report was made on that number and where it was stolen.

You could then notify the right people. I wish there was a law that required the gun buy back people to check the serial numbers, notify the owners and offer the guns back. I wish I didn't look so much like Brad Pitt too. TwoForFlinching Sharpshooter.
