Imagina que Carlos quiere regalarle una pistola a su amigo Juan. Para hacerlo, Carlos debe ir a la policía y llenar un formulario que incluye detalles de Juan, como su nombre y si tiene algún problema legal que le impida tener un arma. Luego, la policía revisará esa información antes de permitir la transferencia.
