How many people know all the serial numbers to their guns?? Do the right thing contact LEO and let them handle itI absolutely have all mine written down and stored in multiple places.
I do agree with turning it in. :tup:

Same boat. It seems irresponsible not to know all your serial numbers

I would have to wonder who all gets notified about any search on this site? Maybe nobody. Maybe a certain select few.
I do agree though, turning it in is the best way to go. Unless you find someone that puts in an ad for a lost gun!

Evidence to prove what? Highly unlikely any criminal case will ever develop or have some substantial revelation. What would LE do with it? Post it as you have. No takers, enjoy your new gun.
Wow....you couldn't be more wrong. LEO can run the serial number and see if there report of it being stolen. If so....whammo....owner found. Most people that lose a firearm will contact LEO to see if one was turned in....whammmo.....owner found. Ask me how I know!!! My kimber was stolen and made it's way home this way.
Do the right thing and turn it in.

More important question would be, "Who doesn't know all the serial numbers of their firearms??" If you don't, you really should. When my kimber was stolen, I reported it with serial number and eventually got it back. Had I not known the serial number.....may have never seen it again.

Yep
First thing Leo asked if you have one stolen, what’s the serial number?
I have a book with the numbers of every gun I ever owned.
To OP
You are on a public forum announcing that you are in violation of WA gun laws and offering to transfer a handgun without a background check. Not saying you’re wrong , but maybe in danger of legal action if the wrong folks read this.
Turn it in and move on. :tup:

On the low end of the spectrum theft/ burglary
On the high end homicide.
It's really not that impossible....serial numbers, rifling, DNA...all things a gun can provide.
And for the OP the last thing I want in my possession as "oh I found it" is a firearm used in a homicide. :twocents:

I have all of mine and I agree. That pistol may have been tossed for a reason. :dunno:

Incorrect and horrible advice.

b
Several years ago I found a very high end AR at a local shooting area. I turned it into the Sheriff dept and it was reported lost right after I dropped it off. The owner picked it up shortly after and also contacted me that evening to thank me. He also came out to meet me the next day and gave me a Thankyou card and a fifth or very expensive booze. When I opened the card there was $300.00 in it and when I tried to refuse it he would not take no for an answer. The bottle still sets in my cupboard.
That bottle empty or still full? Dont let that stuff go bad on ya! :chuckle:

The fact that some have to question what to do, disgust me!! If you don't know what to do in this instance, your moral compass is askew.

Isn’t it only like 6 months and if nobody claims it it’s yours? I’d want to get to back to whoever owns it or start that clock ASAP.
At the discretion of the agency, including sales and destruction
