Found a gun

[sigstroker]

You can't buy a gun as part of a real estate transaction. The transfer of firearms in California has to be done by an FFL, not a realtor.

Not if it was long enough ago (1990?).

This. Most likely OP bought the gun from black market and now want to registerd it for whatever reasons.

No, no, he found the gun in his new home... He finally finished eating the old inhabitants and now he's going through their things.

This is like posting an 'I got a new puppy' thread in OT without photos.

Buy it for 1/10 the price, register it to avoid going to jail and be in posession a homie gun.

It will turn into he found a receiver for a 1911 pistol.

Also anyone who has a 1911 receiver for sale should contact him as he is now in the market for one.

No No No -- good thing can come from this. Call local PD and ask how to turn it in without a lot of fanfare.

I love how contacting the old home owner was never even a thought for you

Since it came out that he is renting it does not really matter. But I have bought 2 houses and neither former owner left forwarding info. One I could track down because of his family name but the old lady I bought my current house from would be difficult.

On another note both sellers left things and never came back so at what point does someones responsibility to return things end? I just thew the stuff away, but was I obligated to track them and make sure they meant to leave their stuff in MY house?

Something like a gun I would take to the police.

I guarantee it happens more often than you might realize. Not necessarily guns, but all kinds of belongings left by former owners. Good example is after my grandmother died. We were able to clean out the living areas of the house but nobody was able to get into the attic because the only way in was through the end vent on the outside of the house - which happened to be home to a rather large nest of yellowjackets. We looked and looked but found no other way in, so whatever was in there stayed. I don't know if local family members ever went back so it's likely that whatever was in there when she died was there when the house was sold to new owners. Another example is a coworker of a member of my RC club who bought his house 12 years ago - but only went through stuff left in the attic by the prior owner a couple of years ago.

Live someplace long enough, gather up enough crap, and I guarantee you're going to leave something behind when you move.

The OP's story sound like BS to me.

The OP's story sound like BS to me.

I 2nd that BS! By the way, hes a junior member which makes me think he created this account to ask if his story seems legit for an illegal purchase or soon to be illegal purchase.
