So I got a random phone call out of the blue today from the Brookhaven PD. They found a firearm that was last listed in the firearms DB in my name that I purchased in 2020 from an FFL. They wouldn't give me details of how/when it was recovered or if it was used in a crime. I was of course honest and said no I actually sold that firearm a couple of years ago. They asked if I had a record of it or any proof/paperwork of who I sold it to. I informed them that no it was a private sale, and I have nothing and don't know how to prove I sold it. But I told them it was not stolen from me.
So, how does this normally play out? They just move on, or keep trying to find out who last owned it? Do they want this info to return it? Or just more of a papertrail of how it wound up where they found it? I'm just curious. I'm not worried about it. Just interested on how something like that works in the LEO world.
