it has been entreed into a datebase and if is is recovered and that number is run it will come up. it has nothing to do with a gun being registered. it has to do with a database not alot unlike the database for wants and warrants.
Ok, here's the thing;
The point of this thread is to gain insight into EXACTLY what databases exist, who has access to them, and how complete they are.
You seem to think that they just "create" a "database" whenever they get information?
How many stolen guns, cars, etc. get scribbled on a legal pad and end up in a manilla folder, or the trash?
Note what Jim said above:
In states or cities that require gun registration, the police will have a data base of guns, but obviously that will not be all the guns in the area. Police also sometimes have records of guns used in crimes or guns reported stolen, but those data bases are so full of holes as to be about useless.
You said that you call LEO's and they search a database. Do you have any additional concrete information, or are you simply guessing as to the procedures and capabilities of your location?
