How would Scheels know it was stolen?

I've sold firearms to stores and gun shops, they never asked for proof of ownership or checked anything. I dont think there is anywhere to check is there?

Of course/obviously this is only accurate if Gun in question is reported...

I know a couple of gun shops that require you to have proof of ownership before they will buy or repair your handguns.
No proof, no service.

I've ran into that, I just walked away. I can't prove I own a gun I've owned for 40 years. It was given to me and I tossed the green card years ago.
Many shops understand that and are willing to trade or fix a handgun on my word other than to mess with me, I ignore those who want to impose more hurdles for gun owners.
