Can anyone help me with a question? If you buy a house, say from an estate, and you find a gun in the attic, how do you register as make it your own? I have posed this question to ISP last week, but they haven't gotten back to me yet. Please email me as firewall at work blocks all the good sites: [email protected]
Edit to ask about ownership vs registry |

NEVER NEVER ASK HOW TO REGISTER A GUN

| If it's burried in a wall or hidden in the attic, basement, etc.. that would make me think it was used in a crime. Maybe there's a way to have the serial checked anonymously to see if it was used unlawfully? I don't know if I'd even do that though. If it's not anything nice, get rid of it, melt it down. Buy a house, find a gun, don't want it so you turn it over to LE and go to jail for an unsolved murder from 10+ years ago. Lawyer, money, time. That would suck. |

Quoted: Quoted: What if someone from IL without a FOID found/inherited the firearm? How would one transfer such an item to a FOID card holder? Well without a FOID its a felony to be in the posession of a firearm so I guess they would have to get a FOID card first. Recipients from an estate have 60 days to obtain an FOID. Don't know if there's a similar ruling for property obtained in this fashion, but I kinda doubt it. |

Now that is an Imagination.WOW Seems to me you have several choices A- shut up , keep it and enjoy B- Dispose of it C- TRY AND I MEAN TRY to explain to the local PD your situation. See what they say about checking the serial # on it D-find a LEO willing to discreetly help you Personally I would go for D but I have that option C option and it could come back clean and you may never have it returned to you Anyway what type of firearm is it anyway |
