Well now. The first part? It depends on where you live. It also depends on where the gun came from. I have quite a few that aren't registered to me, this is why....

Federal law does not require documentation when firearms are bought and sold within the framework of a private sale.

Federal law does not require documentation when a firearm is given to family members (within two places, i.e. Grandparent to Grandchild).

If the weapon is not stolen, then you have no more issues than anyone else. Assuming, of course, you abide by all state, federal, and local laws pertaining to carrying, concealing, and using your firearm.

That depends on where you live. In most of the US, there is no registration required for firearms- dealers must retain a record of a sale. If there is a local registration requirement, you may not possess the gun at all if not registered to you. If no state registration requirement exists, yes, you may pawn a gun that you own- IF the pawnbroker has a Federal Firearms License. Some do, some don't.
