My coworker and I just said the same thing!

What a beautiful gun in a great caliber. Shame.

This poses the question:

If you're walking down the street and you find a gun (lets assume its in good condition and serial number has not been altered), would you keep it?

NO! Unless you like to put yourself in jeopardy. Don't touch it, call 911 and have them recover it. You want to be in no way tied to a firearm with a history you have no way of knowing about. That's my opinion and everyone is welcomed to agree or not

The same thing happened at my kid's preschool in JP two years ago. A fleeing criminal just tossed it into the play area, and luckily a teacher spotted it first thing in the morning.

Yeah, as soon as I typed that, the same question started running through my head. I would REALLY want to, but it probably wouldn't be a good idea.

depends on the model.

lorcin? nah. hi-point? nah. jennings? nah.

beretta? glock? CZ? probably.

 

[ToddDubya]

Is there a website somewhere to see if it has any bodies on it? That seems like the thing worldstarhiphop would archive.

ETA: Damn, loaded with hammer cocked! It's a good thing an adult got to that first.

That's a nice gun right thurr.

 

[jtnf]

Jesu de Christo - Cocked?
MDA plant?

 

[A1850]

This is the type of firearm that you burry in your yard for SHTF scenario and the cops come to take your guns. I'd turn it in though....

The comments on FB are great. one guy said he could see the ammo in the mag.

Jesu de Christo - Cocked and locked?
MDA plant?

Depends on where and what the circumstances of the discovery are.

That's a sweet piece.

 

[Artifact]

An unusual way to get rid of it.

Damn, a 41 mag S&W model 57?! Very nice gun and in great shape. Where was that criminal finding 41 mag ammo in stock?....

 

[samandglove1]

S&W Model 657 snub. Banger with good taste (or more than likely stolen)?

 

[ToddDubya]

Damn, a 41 mag S&W model 57?! Very nice gun and in great shape. Where was that criminal finding 41 mag ammo in stock?....

Probably the guy's house he stole it from.

I suppose I could get the full name and address of one of you guys and put it in my bound book. Jack.

You want that via PM or email?

Given this was Roxbury, there are probably bodies attached to the gun and it was almost certainly a stolen gun to boot. No thanks, not touching it.

Since it is worth more than $3.00, he has to turn it into the police, and gets to keep it as his own if the owner does not claim it within (I think) 30 days.

I would love to find a gun just to have fun enforcing the lost property law.

MGL Chapter 134 Section 1:

Section 1. Any person who finds lost money or goods of the value of three dollars or more, the owner of which is unknown, shall within two days report the finding thereof to the officer in charge at a police station in the town where said property was found, or, if there is no police station, post notice thereof in two public places therein, or, instead of such report or posting, cause notice thereof to be advertised in a newspaper published therein.

MGL Chapter 134 Section 1:

Of course, if it were me, I'd be arrested on felony charges for possession of a firearm without a license....even standing 20 feet away from the gun while I called the PD

Love this picture

 

[one-eyed Jack]

If the level of ambition exists, a trace will be done which will lead to a dead end. No one will ever be able to have the gun because that would "Compromise an ongoing investigation". Ask me how I know. Jack.

Any idea what the penalty is if you don't turn it in?
