My son has knowledge of guns - and I asked him if he had any extra shotguns.
He told me to buy one legally - because if an intruder entered my home and tried to assult me, and I pulled the trigger, (with a registered gun), he said I would have no problem.
But, if the gun were NOT registered to me, (and I shot an intruder), I could run into all sorts of legal problems.
My fear is that there will be a knock on my door to “retrieve” what is registered. The Constitution seems to be shattering..........
If it was me I would buy one from a private party,,,
Mite wanna check the laws in your state/city,,,
Pay cash only for anything you buy,,,
Anything bought before ‘68 will have no fed records...
Are you anywhere in the vicinity of the good Sheriff Arpaio?
Give him a ring and ask what’s best to do.
I would be very, very surprised if AZ has any sort of gun registration.
