Just read another post on a different forum where the woman posting said her and her husband were pulled over for a license plate light that was out. This was in Marana. She stated that for whatver reason when they asked if they were armed and the replied yes that the officer ran the serial numbers of their weapons. Her husband had previously done a private party transcation for his.

It came back as being stolen. Luckily they had a bill of sale from the person they bought it from and the officer let them go home after confiscating the weapon. Many people never ask for a bill of sale but in ths case it helped them for sure. While the weapon and money paid is lost so far they haven't had to deal with being arrested for stolen property.
