    No registration in WASHINGTON either (the REAL WASHINGTON, not the ASYLUM).But, in general, if you purchased a gun through a dealer (or the gun was originally purchased through a dealer by someone else) after 1967, a Federal Sales Record form was filled out - and it is still in the posession of the selling dealer - or if that dealer has gone out of business the form is now in the possession of the BATF.Also, in recent years (varies state by state) many states have required a special STATE Firearms Purchase certificate - particulary for handguns, copies of which are maintained by that state.If your gun was originally purchased before the sixties - and has never changed hands through a Dealer since then - there will generally be no paper trail.Best.......!

    There is no federal registration of firearms. It is required in some states. Many people think that because they fill out the yellow form with the FFL the firearm is registered to them. That is not true, as the Feds are not suppose to know what firearm you are buying when the NICS check is called in. That is, the serial numbers for the firearm, firearm model and such are not recorded on the federal level (supposedly). All the federal government is suppose to know is that you bought a firearm, and if it was a handgun or rifle. The yellow form (with type of firearm and serial numbers) stays with the dealer until he retires from the business.

    I have a gun shop here in NY. In NYC in some boroughs you must register your longuns. Most other parts you do not. Handguns of course must be registered.

    No registration in Kansas except the yellow form when you go thru a dealer. On a citizen to citizen sale (no FFL licensee involved) there is NO paper trail. I believe however if I do sell to someone other than a FFL I will get some kind of I.D. to protect myself down the road.

    lee2000, as you can see from the above responses to your post, the laws vary from state to state. I am sure you will get some accurate and meaningful advice if you ask about a specific state.
