He is a felon so he should have not been able to pass a NICS at any dealer regardless. My statement about Florida being a free state was in reference to F2F transactions. Its completely legal for someone to buy from a guy selling out of his trunk in a Walmart parking lot. As long as he didn't tell the seller he was a felon there would be little recourse for that transaction.Not legally from a dealer unless he changed his state of residence.
I am curious at what point the serial number was obliterated, if done with say a center punch vs grinding it will be very difficult for LE to restore the number.
