Had a somewhat disturbing call from an out of town PD - a gun I no longer own, that was traded out at a fairly large gun store was recovered at a crime scene and traced to my name. It was a gun purchased at an FFL dealer at a gun show; went through the 4473 last year. I traded it at a gun store back in April. The sales clerk there reminded me to hang on to the receipt of that transaction - glad I did. I don't know why it wound up traced back to me when I traded it out to the store - but I'm in the clear now. Friendly reminder to keep records when you're buying and selling firearms!
