the guy has stolen yachts and high value cars and deals drugs.... he wants me to hold onto his 2 firearms... a winchester 30/30 and a stevens shotgun...... what do i do? we dont aprove of him or like him and he deserves his fate.... he is in his early 20s and my group of friends doesnt trust him.... the shotgun is a mantle piece, but the 30/30 is quality... i dont want to be a thief myself.... but it doesnt feel right knowing he [being a felon] has guns and we know he doesnt have any intention to hunt... they were his before he became a felon so they were legally obtained, but he cant legally own them.... its illegal for him to have them, but i am not a thief... his familly also has legal problems and cant own firearms... but after all he is an obscure boyfriend of a sister-like friend... so... technicaly its not theft...

what do it do? i have no problem telling him to take a hike and keeping the 2 guns for myself. i guess this is an issue of morality...

they were probably passed down to him.... but a felon lost his rights to guns....
and my ""sister"" might as well toss em off the bridge.

catch it. kill it. cook it. eat it.
Forget the bear spray, use wasp killer. Concentrated delivery stream, 10X the product, and only $3.00 on sale.

are they in his name now?  If hes a dirtbag and no one wants to deal with him, tell him to walk.

He cant own them so if i was you I would just keep them and use them. What would he do with them besides sell them which he cant really because he cant be in any possession of them. offer him a few buck for them if nothing else.  :twocents:

Give the guns to your sister and explain why you do not want any part of them- 1.First and foremost. She should respect you so no broken family ties. 2.You wouldn't be breaking the law by giving them back to the felon. 3.You don't know for sure how much of a whack job this guy is or his friends and you probably don't want to deal with any unfriendly visits from anyone.
 I know, I know- my third point may be far fetched and you can probably defend yourself just fine but wether someone knocks your head or you knock theirs the situation could be avoided all together by just staying out of this one.

If you give them back you would be supplying guns to a convicted felon. I see no other choice but to keep them. just sayin  :twocents:

Talk to your local police.  I myself would like to just keep them, but you should protect yourself from being labelled a thief and maybe in trouble yourself.  Take pictures and document serial numbers, too.

Give them to your "sister" and tell her to give them to a family member of his.

Why not pay him what they are worth, and keep them?

Stay away from this situation bail on the guns.. If you think this guy is a POS then you want to stay as far away from him as possible.... If you contact the cops with the serial numbers and they are stolen, you will have to tell them the story to keep yourself out of trouble and will likely have to testify against him... if you want to put him in the poky then tell a cop and they will...  STAY AWAY FROM STUPID PEOPLE! They will drag you into all kinds of problems that are not your own... Are those 2 guns worth getting wrapped up in this dirt bags issues problems? HELL NO!
