Are there prohibited categories of persons from whom a pawnbroker should not accept firearms?
Yes. The pawnbroker cannot lawfully return a firearm to a person who is underage or within a prohibited category of persons to whom the sale or other disposition of the firearm would be unlawful. For example, a pawnbroker cannot lawfully return a pawned handgun to a person who is less than 21 years of age, nor can he or she return a firearm to a convicted felon or to anyone else who is prohibited from receiving the firearm.
