Not sure where to post this, but I think this is the best place
>Own a Pawn Shop
>have a FFL
>law of the land states that WHOEVER signs the pawn ticket is responsible if the stuff is stolen
>recently had a guy sale me a stolen gun
>the town detective has spoken with the man who sold it to me
>"I feel like he did not know the gun was stolen so I cannot charge him with possessing a stolen firearm"
>completely fails to address the issue of obtaining property under false pre-tenses (this is what he did when he signed the ticket to sale it to me)
>detective has told me its a 100% civil issue and for me to get fucked in so many words
My question is there anyway for me to show this to the magistrate or anyone else to get charges pressed?

in my state you take this BS straight to the State Police or the comptroller of public safety (that is who the sheriffs answer to, directly below the governor.)

Who cares, pawn shops are crooks.

Read the fifth word of section '14-100 a' in your link.
You're shit out of luck and that's the cost of doing (shady) business.
Unless of course you can prove that your customer knowingly sold you stolen goods.
Perhaps you should offer consignment if you aren't willing to take the risk of buying stolen goods.

No, they just take advantage of the poor and the desperate. Better than payday loans.
