This site only covers Florida. If you want to be certain go to your local sheriffs office to access the NCIC (National Crime Information Center) Database.

The proof is in the following website of stolen guns. Just type in the serial numbers of the stolen guns from outside of Florida and they don't show up.

If you type in the following serial numbers into the database they show up:

Stolen from house of Mr. Ken Geis on Monday August 25th, 2003. Call Orange County Sheriffs Office in Orlando, FLA at 407 737 2400 with Case Number 03-076628.

So once you report the gun stolen how long does the flyer stays up to? I'm assuming a few months?

I work at a pawn shop, and we just bought a gun that was stolen in 1993.... But we've also had to turn in other guns that were stolen that don't come up on some of these sights

Does your pawn shop do a serial number check before they buy the gun? Also, is your pawn shop just out the money they invested or are they able to prosecute the person that sold it to them. If the gun is probably under $500 it probably doesn't pay.
