    Not registered handgun

    Howdy ya'll!

    I just visited an old friend of mine and while we were talking about guns, he mentioned to me that he purchased in the spur of the moment -- 12 to 18 years ago (he doesn't remember exactly anymore when) -- a small 1953 Beretta semi-automatic in 6.35mm (supposedly converts to 0.25 auto).

    (It's just like this, but much, much cleaner: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/jimmysmith/2155900351/

    He never shot it, just put it away in his closet and forgot about it. He wants to sell it for whatever it's worth, but since he never had it registered, bought it cash, he's not sure on how to do that without getting in trouble. He could have a LEO transport it to a state where it's legal to do cash-and-carry transactions, but that seems too much trouble for a gun that's worth not that much. What would you suggest for him to do?

    Thanks.

    Don't mention how your friend got it, it's not important anymore. You and your friend take it to a local FFL, show ID, you fill out some paperwork, the pick it up in 10 days.
    No need to involve law enforcement.
    Never initiate force against another. That should be the underlying principle of your life. But should someone do violence to you, retaliate without hesitation, without reservation, without quarter, until you are sure that he will never wish to harm - or never be capable of harming - you or yours again.

      It doesn't needed to be registered to him to transfer it. As far as the FFL or the police are concerned, he could have bought it before handgun registration started. The only issue that might arise is that it may be a gun that's been reported stolen.

            Agreed
