my "sisters" boyfriend is a felon... he entrusts his guns to me..........

[jstone]

Well i have been in this situation. My lovely wife's piece of crap brother did something really bad. He is a felon and gave me his pistol. I took it put it in my name and sold it to a buddy. I haven't talked to her brother scenes he did what he did. didnt want do deal with him and his stuff.

Definitely not worth the current/potential problems... turn them in to local LE and be done with it.  It's bad Karma to try to profit off of an already negative situation.

If you both fill out the batf paperwork, you are getting free guns. Dude gives you any grief down the road and he goes back to the pokey. Like I said earlier.....btdt. I ended up with a bunch of guns that would have gone to confiscation and been destroyed. My liability was simple, under no circumstances could I deliver the guns back to that guy.

Smartest answer in this thread right here, I hit "view results" on the poll and about puked.

Like my college buddy used to say,

"What are you going to do, tell the cops I stole your dope?"

Enjoy your two new guns.

I am so going to get flamed for this one.   First off, wow can I say just WOW!!  What a bunch of dishonest coniving people in this forum.  "Just keep them", "dont give them back", "be vague in telling the police", "stay away from this situation".  Geese, you guys are unflippin believeable!  

Lets think about this for a second.  Lets say these guns were used in the commission of a crime?  Your in possession of these guns, guess what YOUR GOING TO JAIL! DA! Lets say these guns are stolen, YOUR GOING TO JAIL!, lets say you just hold onto them for a goodness sake, keep them away from this felon guy.  You know, do the right thing.  Tell that to a Cop when he asks, YOUR GOING TO JAIL!  Ok, lets not doing anything at all, let the Felon hold onto them himself or better yet let him deal with his own problems.  You find out later he killed someone or used the guns in the commission of another crime.   Can you live with yourself at this point.  Tell the cops this and guess what YOU GO TO JAIL!

Take the flipping guns, call the flippin Cops and turn them over.  Dont be an idiot,  dont give gun control lobbyist more reasons to take away your legal guns,  dont put your family at risk, be part of the solution, turn the guns over to the authorities!

Ban me if you may, this is crazy talk going on here!  

Beat me to it.....this is obvious to me and Ballisticsnut

[Fishnclifff]

Hmmm i need to turn on my thinker more often.

BallisticsNut , thank you for your input. i am smarter now thanks to you.

[GWP]

Wow. The 'keep' comments had me reeling when I first started reading this. Really? Then I saw people getting on Ballisticsnut for calling them on the carpet. You got to be kidding me. It seems like some would risk a lot to get more guns that do not belong to them, even though there is a virtual guarantee of trouble down the road, one way or another.
Knew a guy hooked on drugs that ended up killing three people by beating them to death. You want that guy to come knocking on your door when you least expect it? Unprepared? And he wants his guns back NOW? Oh, and by the way, there are two other guys with him. They already have their guns back. They are pointed at YOU.
Not to mention the law. Are you willing to risk YOUR right to have firearms taken away for helping this guy?
"They were handed down through his family." Right. Sure. Ok. You bet. He is trustworthy after all! "Officer! He said they were!"
Never should have agreed to take them in the first place, should give them back to the 'sister', or turn them in. Good grief.

Wow indeed GWP.  Rereading the thread I noticed no one getting on Ballisticsnut, other than maybe me a little.  The OP was a little vague on whether he has the guns or the guys wants him to take them.  I believe that you, Ballisticsnut, and I are all on the same page.  If he doesn't have them yet, don't even consider it.  No good can come of it.  If he has them, he needs to get rid of them properly.  Have your attorney turn them into the PD or whatever.   , Maybe.  Don't want to be misunderstood on this...

 

[Pathfinder101]

IMHO a 30-30 and a Stevens shotgun aren't even worth the trouble even if the guy was legit...   ABSOLUTELY not worth the trouble that this whole situation could bring.
As a recruiter, I hear stories like this all the time.  Usually when someone is explaining some f$@#ed up charge that will keep them out of the military:

"so, there was this guy that asked me to hold onto his __________ for him..."  (you fill in the blank; pistol, rifle, TV, stereo...etc...)

Get out of the situation as quickly as you can..

[woodswalker]

RUN, do not Walk away from this guy...getting tangled in this will soak YOU, YOU stand to lose YOUR firearms rights over someone elses stupidity.

This guy and your "sister-like-friend" sound like BAD BAD BAD news to me....I'd get shut of them so fast it would make your head spin.
