I just found this new website www.firearmsfax.com. You can check serial numbers before you buy a gun and also list you stolen guns. They send email notifications out to the gun and pawn shops within 50 miles of the reported stolen gun. It's about time!! I've called my local PD in the past to check the serial number on a gun and it's a hit or miss whether they will call you back and sometimes it could be weeks. Unfortunately, they have "more important" things to attend to.
