Funny.

I tried to buy a rifle a few years back at a pawn shop. The background check was taking a while, so the guy said "Go get some lunch and give me a call when you're done to see if it came through by then".

So I do. He tells me "Uh, you need to come back in here....".

My first thought was Hell No, not if the cops are waiting for me! laugh

When I get back, he tells me that *I* am fine, but the rifle had come up stolen. The police were on their way to pick it up.

Regardless, I still say the poster here should be fine. If somebody is intentionally and knowingly going to buy a stolen firearm, I'd think that the LAST thing they would do is transfer it through an FFL, leaving a solid paper trail to connect them to the gun.
