    you are the legal owner, unless the firearms are stolen. Last owner of record for the lot, not the guns (unless available and willing, im guessing thats not the case here), should provide documentation + an agent to facilitate transfer at an FFL.

    If they are all long guns over 50 years old... you are good to go. If their are modern handguns I highly suggest you get the firearms legally registered to you through an FFL stat.

        Shhhhh. Be vewy vewy quiet.

        Actually, you could sell me the gun filled safe and I'll dispose of them for you.

        Okay, honestly, if there are long guns are over 50 years old, you don't have to do anything. Keep 'em. If there are guns under 50 years old, I would think that you would have to have them DROS'd through an FFL.

        Someone else may know different, though.

          If you're a prohibited person, you have to get rid of them. Really fast! Probably through a lawyer.

          Excluding that, let's suppose that neither the seller nor the buyer had any idea at all that the lot had guns in it. Let's further suppose that the original owner cannot be located or identified.

          I'd guess that would fall under the found property rule, which I cannot locate at the moment.

          If I recall correctly, that amounts to depositing the property with local law enforcement for a certain length of time, which is supposed to allow the true owners to find their property. If no successful claim is made, the property is returned to the finder. In the case of firearms, I'd expect to need a LEGR - Law Enforcement Gun Release.

          Just a guess, though.

              He's obviously speaking hypothetically.

                Why would this fall under "found property" if he bought the safe?

                I would imagine that if any of the guns were required to be registered, ie modern handguns, that the auction house that sold the lot (Or whatever business sold the lot) could be listed as a seller on the DROS form.

                      I wouldnt go that route, but thats just me. I still suggest going the authorized agent route with PPT.

                        The local storage locker lot in Arizona has a clause in the buyers agreement that states the buyer has to turn over any found guns to the auction house....There they will contact the local police department and IF the guns check out clean??? You are supose to get them back....

                        In California you would have to jump thru the appropriate hoops.

                        FWIW >> Nice find
