Furthermore, under California law,

Under California law, should I self report going over the speed limit?

Kind of depends who's blood in your trunk.

Or in this case all over the barrel. Would suck to be the guy who illegally took possession of someone else's firearm and had the LEO's later discover Jimmy Hoffa's blood in the cracks.

Dont ask dont tell...

One of those good candidate guns to bury somewhere incase of SHTF if you are into that what if kinda stuff ha

That or gun buy back if its a just a junker or it will be taken away by the cops anyways if you report it. Free cash to buy more gun stuff.

Hello again! To answer a couple of questions.

1. I took another look at the gun today. It is a Remington 7400 rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield. It is not a shotgun.
2. The gun belongs/belonged to the owner of the rental house.
3. The owner mentioned in 2. is now dead. The tenants pay rent to his wife. Wife lives in Florida. Does not care about much.
4. Yes, the guy renting the house really had no idea what was under his bed and when he found out, he ignored it for a long time.

...3. The owner mentioned in 2. is now dead. The tenants pay rent to his wife. Wife lives in Florida. Does not care about much....

Nonetheless, the gun belongs to the widow. She may give it to the current tenant, but California law requires that the transfer go through a California FFL.

Go get your fingerprints on the murder weapon.

Yeah, watch out! Cops might do a ballistics test!

Hi OP,

Have your buddy pull out the gun without touching the trigger. Open the bolt and ensure gun is empty or keep working the bolt till it is empty. Then put it back.

Really, your buddy can turn it in to the police or say to himself. "Wow, free gun woo hoo.

What he does is up to him. If he keeps it he will probably get away with it as long guns were not required to be registered until recently and there are millions of non registered guns in this state. He will get in trouble if it was stolen but from your story it seems not stolen.

Personally, a clear conscience is the softest pillow. But that is just me. I'd turn it in. Or leave it under the bed for the next tenant.

One morning I shot an Elephant in my pajamas.
How he got into my pajamas I'll never know.

Have whatever agency will do it, run the serial. You are looking to buy this
gun and want to be careful and check it out before buying.
If it comes back clean ..."Hello Mr. new-to-me Shotgun".

Then the easy part, keep your mouth shut!

Free gun???😁

I'm disappointed,
Almost 3 pages and we dont know what type of shotty.

Your friend should clean more often.
Tell him to wipe it down when he's done inspecting it.

Sounds like OP's buddy hasn't had a lady friend visit in years. If she had, either he would've vacuumed or the lady friend would've vacuumed after making him a sammich.
