Ok, I'm not taking a gun that I found into a cop station. Not necessarily because I want it, but because it would terrify me. Say I find a gun next to the road hunting. I take it into the cop shop trying to be a good samaritan. Little do I know, a little old lady 2 miles down the road was raped, robbed, then blasted with the shotgun which was pitched out the window on their way out of town.

Granted, it's a stretch. But I would be so pissed about getting called in for questioning and possibly "held" (hell, maybe even charged, since I was hunting by myself and have no real alibi) that I would just bitch enough to escalate the situation. I love free shit, but if I ever come across a gun, I'm going to be more incllined to act like I didn't see it and keep on walking.


50/50 you turn in a found gun and end up with a murder rap and 35 to life hung on your ass. Not worth the squeeze in my book.

I used to register 10-15 Remington 870's to myself each year for raffle guns for the annual DU dinner. Did this for 8-10 years from 1974 thru the early 80's. (Did you ever try to get a drunk that won a shotgun at a DU dinner to sit down and fill out the paperwork.) About 6 months after I moved to Texas, the Colusa Co. CA. Sheriffs Office called me and told me that they had recovered a shotgun that was registered to me. It was used in a robbery of a 7-11 and thrown out of a car in a high speed chase. The stock was broken but it functioned just fine. After explaining how it was originally registered to me I asked them to check if it had been reported stolen and it had not. I told the officer that the SO could have the gun or give it to the local DU dinner.

I find it odd that someone was able to trace the gun back to me after all these years.

[The Duck Hammer]

They don't keep papers longer than 6 months....






Yeah right.

Bull crap. If you found a Holland & Holland you'd pick it up and run like hell. Then you'd take the first $1000 somebody offered you.

I know for a fact that that gun hasn't been involved in a crime yet.


And Hammer, an estate sale or buying a gun from a buddy is NOT finding a gun laying next to the road. If you found a handgun in a paper bag in a culvert, would you take it to the cops?

Negative but there is a very good chance it would end up at with all my other guns.

[assateague]

Nope, not me.

[The Duck Hammer]

Nope, not me.

You're basically saying that if you stumbled upon a paper sack or briefcase of cash you'd walk right on past it because it might be drug money.

[RonE]

Nope, not me.

You're basically saying that if you stumbled upon a paper sack or briefcase of cash you'd walk right on past it because it might be drug money.

If I found a sack full of money or a sack full of drugs or a sack full of guns, I think I could find a place to sell the drugs and guns and I have plenty of places to spend the money.

If I found a single gun, especially a hunting rifle or shotgun or a purse or wallet full of money, I would try to find the owner.

[assateague]

No, hell no. I'm not saying that at all. Because I've never seen someone shot to death with a pile of money. Nor have I ever been looked at funny when spending money. Or worried about a cop finding me with money.

You're right. If you were carrying around a Holland & Holland they'd probably think you stole it, but if they saw the great Assateague spending money instead of bartering with squirrel pelts they wont suspect a thing.

[assateague]

I always use cash. They wouldn't suspect a thing.

[assateague]

Ok, you forced me to Google holland and holland. What the fuck is wrong with you people?

[The Duck Hammer]

You almost had an aneurism didn't you?

[Mornin Beef]

if i was already running away from the cops and i found a gun id think back to this conversation and chuckle a bit.

[Olly]

Or worried about a cop finding me with money.

I'd be more worried about a cop stopping me and finding a large sum of cash then stopping me and finding a gun that I was on my way to turn in.
