The Pennsylvania State Police are apparently keeping a handgun database on gun owners in PA. Just the other day I had a customer come in asking for a “proof” of sale or copy of his sales receipt and paperwork. He said he was pulled over, (didn’t say why), by some local police officers here in Luzerne County, PA. When they ran his drivers license they could see that he had a PA conceal carry permit. However, they could also SEE what handguns are “registered to you”. Since he had just purchased the gun the prior month the State Police hadn’t yet updated his file. The gun was showing it was still “registered” to the prior owner. ( The guy from whom I purchased the gun). He was not charged with anything since he was legally carrying the gun, but the local police CONFISCATED the gun and told him he needed to PROVE he owned the gun. It is my understanding that no agency/government entity is legally allowed to keep and/or maintain a database of gun owners. It seems the PA State Police are maintaining a database of handguns and their owners. The SP4 form required by the PSP for all background checks of handguns has the gun and serial number listed on the form. It seems the PSP is recording that information for each gun owner in the State and it is available to ALL local police agencies in the State. Where is the NRA, the PAFOA, Gun Owners of America and the rest? Is anyone aware of this? This should not be allowed to continue.
