This really is a Hypothetical Question but I have heard it before and I have no clue how one would handle it legally. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Say a widow or widower found a firearm in the house years after their spouse past ( In Massachusetts) . Unsure if spouse had a valid permit or if the gun was ever registered or not, what can they do with the firearm? I always thought the spouse had only a certain window of time to transfer its ownership to someone through a gun store. In this case, could the gun ever be transferred to someone else? How about just a found gun in an estate cleanup and nobody knows who owned it? Can firearms such as these be transferred to a good home or do you have to turn them in?
Thanks
