Str8Shot Report post Posted September 9, 2015 I understand the idea of people feeling they are doing the right thing finding the owner when presuming something is lost ... But why in anybody's right mind would you not call the police when you find a handgun off the side of the road... Sometimes best intentions are butt backwards and a gun along side the road could possibly be a gun used in a crime tossed out the window of a moving car.... I say let it be .. call the authorities and then share that it was found and let people know where they can find it... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted September 9, 2015 If it is truly a lost gun, the owner would be able to give a serial # to the LEOs for the safe return, if it is truly just a lost firearm. I would also be VERY leery of picking up a gun on the side of a road. While working remodel construction, my helper found a pistol inside a wall we were tearing out. Called the MCSO, as the homeowner claimed it was not theirs. Turns out it was used in a crime 25 years earlier, and the prime suspect was the former homeowner who had passed away.

5guyshunting Report post Posted September 9, 2015 I saw this post earlier, the police are the first ones to call with the serial #. Your intentions are awesome. Thanks for your integrity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted September 9, 2015 This brings up a good point, every gun owner should catalog their guns. Have photos and numbers saved. I use a spreadsheet on a thumb drive in the safe. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muledeerarea33? Report post Posted September 9, 2015 This brings up a good point, every gun owner should catalog their guns. Have photos and numbers saved. I use a spreadsheet on a thumb drive in the safe. I don't keep it in the safe. If they get in the safe and steal the guns then they steal the flash drive too. I keep mine in another place. Also keep a few copies in different spots they won't look (hopefully) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What if you get robbed? How will you ever prove the firearms are yours? Unless.......you are playing coy while Big Brother is watching the interweb....
