Very good on you to try and find the RIGHTFUL owner of it. Hope you find them and they learn a lesson. If the PD get involved it could get really nasty for the careless person.

It might be ditched post-crime, or by scared person who cannot possess, or maybe stolen. If stolen hopefully somebody noticed it and reported it. That's my thinking—I didn't know what Hogan Butte was so I looked it up and it looks like a cool park I haven't been to—because found in an urban area the odds of finding such a thing outdoors lost by a responsible owner is probably lower than finding a crime piece.

Good point, when I read Hogan Butte I assumed it was a shooting pit or something.

I'd take it to the police personally. Law abiding or not. If you're careless enough to leave a gun in public/unattended I'm ok with you having to pay the consequences. And if it was used in a crime I definitely don't want it going back into their hands.

Carrying a gun comes with responsibility.

I'll second that motion.
Turn it over to the Police.
Let them worry about it.

Aloha, Mark

If you do not take it to the Police you have just become a Felon. If someone lost it that's where they will go looking for it. You know an Honest would do that too!

Proof of ownership required.

Even if you were to hypothetically find the owner and they provide proof of ownership you still don't know if they can legally posses firearms.

Turn in to the police and sleep well!

This ^^^

Think of it this way.
What if someone came forward and identified this "blaster" to your satisfaction.
Are you just going to hand it over ?
How do you know he's not a prohibited person ?
How do you know it's not a stolen gun ?
How do you know it hasn't been used in a crime ?
Way too many unknowns.

Best advice is to turn it in to the police.
And right away so you haven't been possessing this found gun for too long.

They say "possession is 9/10ths of the law"
You now possess a gun, its illegal to transfer that gun to anyone without a BGC.
Id turn it into the police.

If that is a lost 'Blaser', then it's mine.

I would turn it into the police as soon as possible. The backstory on how it got there could be unremarkable or it could be criminal.

I am reminded of an incident when I was young. We lived way off the beaten path and one day the Sheriff's department stopped by on an investigation. Turns out less than a half mile from our little homestead, a woman murdered a man with a .38 revolver at point blank range. Rather than throw it in the lake that was right there, she wrapped it in a scarf and hid it under a stump me and my family walked past all the time. Perhaps the found piece is nothing so dramatic, but you don't know.

 

[Medic!]

I've see the way you animals treat your guns!

Damn thing probably ran away from home.








Turn it in.

 

[po18guy]

It's mine. My bad. But I'm in WitSec, so I cannot ID myself.

 

[Nosferatu]

You can finally begin your life of crime.

 

[Bolt_308]

Oh man, thank you so much for posting this! I have been freaking out missing my . . . . . . Stacatto??? (Crosses fingers . . .;-)

 

[titsonritz]

It's not mine, I don't care who says what.

 

[malakajim]

Does it look like this, with a Vanilla Ice tape stuck in the B deck?

I've been wondering where I left it.
