Showing Original Post only (View all)Inherited guns? [View all]
I have come into possession of several firearms previously owned by a now-deceased relative: a shotgun, three rifles, and two handguns.
The rifles are at least four or five decades old, the shotgun is likely about the same. Not sure about the handguns, but I remember seeing one of them at least 30 years ago.
To the best of my knowledge these were never registered, and in fact I believe my relative received them under circumstances similar to those in which I now find myself.
How to proceed?
I'd like to do this legally and safely, but I have no idea how to start and figured some here might have valuable insight.
At present the weapons are secured in a friend's safe.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
