For starters, I'm new to here and just purchased my first firearm, also I'm from Michigan and required to register it with the local police.
I went to a local gun and knife show this weekend and purchased my first firearm from a individual dealer (not a company). I passed the background check. He got the box from under the counter and filled out the triplicate and the receipt and it was mine. After arriving home I put it away and today got to cleaning and realized that something didn't look right. I was going to go to my local police and register the handgun today but the serial number on the gun didn't match the numbers on the receipt or the triplicate!!! He copied it off the box which is incorrect. So now I have a gun in my possession that has not been registered to me, and he has record of me buying a gun that someone else may have possession of . I tried calling and the guy isn't answering and I can't leave a message. I don't know what to do. I'm afraid if I take it to the station there will be some issue and I will have to give up my gun. Please help with any advise that you can give.
