Anyone know of a way to get such a check done “on the fly” so to speak?  Wireless, WAN, something?

Can't be done unless you are law enforcement or you take it to the cop shop for them to run the serial numbers. 
FFL's have no way of running a NCIC check, they can only call in a NICS check when a gun is sold. Totally different thing.

Perhaps, someday, a highly publicized case will have a witness state the evidence was turned in and destroyed by OPD. That may be a deterrent, but I doubt it. If its any consolation,much of what gets turned in is junk.

Husker_Fan:
I'd be willing to give some of these guns amnesty in my safe with other guns they can socialize with.

"Has anyone ever thought about or actually gone to one of these buybacks or amnesty days and purchased a firearm from someone before it got to the table?  Too much of a chance to take?"

I wouldn't do it- doesn't seem like a legal or safe idea.

As for the amnesty day itself - I think it is an interesting concept. 

Too be clear, I am not being disrespectful or meaning to- I simply do not trust them.

If any average Joe found a gun in a park for example- and turned it in- do you think they would be given amnesty?  I don't believe they would.

This reminds me of -for example - the D.E.A. having a drug amnesty day.  Turn in all illegal drugs w/o worry.

I just don't see that happening.

Just my opinion only.
