Question on Handgun Registration

[CA_SHARPSHOOTER]

My buddy's grandpa just died and when they were going through the house they found 2 pistols that no one even knew he had. He was most definitely not a theif, but they are almost positive they aren't registered. What is their course of action?

they are a .44 mag ruger and a s&w .357 revolver. nothin special

If your friend is inheriting them, he can file the proper registration forms with the DOJ.

Correct.

Nothing wrong or illegal about unregistered handguns.
