about registering handguns in PA

[kristysprecher@yahoo.com]

I need to know if I can request and obtain a list of the handguns that are registered to me. I'd like to know if what the State has on file is what is in my gun safe.

There is really no official gun registration list in PA...only records of sales. Whether that list can be obtained, maybe an FFL could answer that better.

There is NO "registration" of firearms in Pa.

See here:

The database of (some) handgun transfers that the PSP keeps does NOT prove or otherwise indicate ownership per the Supreme Court of Pa.

No.

Please see the other thread. The PSP database is only available to LE as an aid to assist tracing firearms used in crimes.

Wonder if LE can type in a name and get all sale/transfer records for a person...or can they just request info on individual serial #s?

Call center does the lookup, not individual LE. Doesn't matter if they can or not, they won't give it to you.

Yeah, I assumed they wouldn't give it to you, just wondered if they can get the whole list at one time?

No.

Please see the other thread. The PSP database is only available to LE as an aid to ALLEGEDLY assist tracing firearms used in crimes.

Fixed that statement.

When PSP command n control structure is asked to demonstrate cases that were solved with the 50 year old plus PSP non-database, firearm registration database they refuse to prove it usefulness in solving crime or returning stolen firearms to their rightful owners when recovered.

When we tried to give PSP the power to keep and maintain a complete Lost and Stolen firearm database, (in HB 1845) the PSP don’t want nothing to do with that database, seems like they just want a list of gun owners and their firearms.

Yes, they can.

[HiredGoon]

Yes, they can.

Which makes it easy when they come to round up our guns, huh
