Last year, I foolishly sold my 870 thinking I would replace it immediately with a 1187 or 1100, but never did. Being a Yooper in Michigan, I am told that one must undergo a background check to purchase a new gun. To be honest, I don't really have a problem with the background checks if they would destroy all the info you gave them (assuming you're "clean"). If they are keeping the info, you are basically registering the gun. Maybe they do destroy the info, but I don't know, and frankly, I doubt it. This would be my first brand new gun purchase - if I decide to buy new.
So here's my questions. Is this background check for new guns (in this case, shotguns) required for all states? Can I order an 870 from another state and have it sent to me? What about used shotguns purchased via an in-state or out-of-state gun shop?
Thanks,
