QuestionI was given a 22 pistol about ten years ago. The owner died right after. I am wondering if I can still become owner and get it registered.SouthernprideCommunity AnswerThe owner was supposed to switch the registration to you before he died. Since he didn’t get you on the firearm registration you most likely won’t be able to. (Depending on where you’re located though.)

QuestionHow can I find out if a gun is registered?Gohar ClientsCommunity AnswerCheck with your local law enforcement agency. You can contact your local police department or sheriff's office and ask if they have any records of the gun being registered. Depending on the jurisdiction, they may or may not have this information available. You could also check with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). The ATF is the federal agency responsible for enforcing gun laws in the United States. They maintain records of firearms that are involved in certain criminal activities or investigations. You can contact the ATF and ask if they have any records of the gun being registered.
