Cliff Ray 185 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Tell him to take it back to wherever he stole it in the first place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smithie 2,432 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 i actualy know a chap that did this.. he just phoned the fire arms department and told them he was offered a gun and said gun is unlicenced. first copper said he cant put it on his licence second one told him to crack on so its off the streets problem is if it had of turned out to be a stolen gun he would of had to hand a name to the police Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Huan72 687 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Don't get your finger prints on it Seriously, how did he get the gun if he has no licence? Has it ever been used for something less than legal, if so and it all gets messy you don't want to be involved with it at all. Can you imagine.............. "how did you get rid of that gun", "Oakey helped me off load it". A bit paranoid maybe but if someone I met in a pub started asking me how to sell on an unlicenced gun, I would be looking for another table Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 3,048 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 What type of gun is it? If its a hand gun have nothing to do with it I wouldn't want anything to do with a handgun If its a shotgun or a rifle I would suggest he take into a registered firearms dealer.

Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 No. Obviously, the correct procedure is for him to take it to his local cop shop. There, he should throw the doors open. Stride in, clearly showing said weapon. And, in a loud, clear voice, state: " Right, you lot! I've got a gun! Who wants to take it off of me?! ". That should do the trick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
