A friend/co-worker of mine and I were discussing our firearms and how the range time has been going when he brought up the fact that he acquired a new gun. He explained that a guy he knew just gave it to him because he wasn't licensed to have it and my friend explained that if he were caught with it in the house he could be looking at some painful fines and possibly some jail time. So, after being told that, this guy just gave the gun to my co-worker because he has a LTC. Admittedly so, my co-worker explained that he feels it was a stupid decision to take the gun because it isn't registered as far as he knows. He is afraid to bring it to the police for the simple fact that he is in possesion of it now and no one knows the history of this thing.
I really don't know what to tell him to do with it short of pulling the firing pin and either selling the parts or go for a boating trip. Any advice you guys might have that I can pass along so he doesn't get in trouble? I really don't need more work load if things go poorly and the PD take him in! This is honeslty a guy I work with not myself. I still consider myself wet behind the ears with guns and gun laws and would never take a sketchy chance like this. So, any advice?
