Write down your serial numbers

Hey guys... remember to write down the serial number of any firearm you purchase and keep it forever.

If it is lost or stolen, inform the police, give them the serial number and it will go in to a database.  If anyone tries to sell that firearm to a dealer or pawn shop it will red flag and you will get your firearm back.

It just happened to a friend of mine who had a gun stolen 9 years ago.  Last week a guy tried to sell it at a show and the check on the serial number showed that it was stolen.  A detective called my friend and he's getting his gun back after 9 years.

It's important as well as it saves you a load of trouble should a gun that is stolen or lost be used in a crime.  If the police track it back to you and you never reported it, they are going to look at you a little funny... and probably be suspicious of the veracity of your statements.
