    Take it to the police station. They can tell you.

    Do it the legal way and buy it from a pawn shop. That way you don't have to worry if there's any bodies on it or not.

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    Call your local PD non emergency and give the the manufacture, model and serial number. Most jurisdictions will run it for you.

    My vote goes for pawn shop.

    Tell them you have scandalous wedding pictures to trade

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    no you wont get in trouble if you bring it to the PD and ask if its legit. If its not, they are going to take it and they will expect you to tell them who you got it from.

    dont walk into a police station with a gun.... you will get thrown to the floor haha.
    just call them and ask. if you scared about them finding out, just call from a payphone or block your number.

    uh no...no guarantees just bc it came from a pawn shop. you want a gun w/o worries, go buy it from a REPUTABLE shop.

    murder some one and leave the gun at the scene...later on watch the news and they will tell you if the gun was stolen. they will keep the gun but you wont need it for home protection where you are going.

    Depending on the year of the gun it may or may not be registered anymore. Most are untraceable anyway with all the illegal guns in our country. Half my guns aren't registered because the GOV doesn't keep track of them anyhow.

    The new ones are but if its old, don't worry about it.

    correct, it'll only be HOT if it's been REPORTED stolen.

    I would just go to a local gun store like bullseye or the other one down in atlanta. I think they get all the history on the gun before they purchase it from the previous owner. They have pretty good deals on used guns if you don't feel like purchasing one brand new.
