Re: So does anyone know if an FFL can run serial numbers on used guns?
I potentially stand corrected as I don*t use Epics. I*m to low volume to bother with it. And I say potentially because I don*t know if Epics checks the ncic database to see if a gun is stolen. My understanding is that a police department has to account for every time they they do a ncic check- I don*t see access without accountability by ffl*s happening.

Re: So does anyone know if an FFL can run serial numbers on used guns?
Well the FFL/Class III that told me he could run serial numbers uses E-Pics. He does a lot of business in my area and even organizes gun shows. He definitely does business with the local cops as well. There’s a chance that E-PICS doesn’t access NCIC and maybe only accesses a list of stolen firearms that were reported in Pa. From my understanding the free civilian sites run by Ohio and Florida only covers firearms reported within those states. Even so it’s better than nothing.

Re: So does anyone know if an FFL can run serial numbers on used guns?
The App on E-PICS is easy to use. For those FFLs here that utilize the electronic system do the following:
Go to your log-on screen. Log on.
After you do so you will see a list of menus to your left. The second one down will be Stolen gun check. There will also be two large category icons in the lower center of the page for firearms purchases and stolen gun checks.
Open one of the stolen gun tabs and follow the prompts which are formatted like the purchase tabs.
Enter the proper firearm information and hit enter.
You will receive a notification from PICS that there is no record found of this firearm in a stolen data base along with a reference number for you; OR you will receive a notice that there is a record and to contact law enforcement.
It's easy to use and straight forward. It doesn't give you any information except whether or not a firearm is on a stolen firearms data base; but it's better than no ability to discover if a firearm is stolen or not.

Maybe I'm not seeing it, but I just looked on our shops Epics logon and don't have a place to check for stolen guns.
Can you post a screen shot (or PM me if preferred)
