I had a buddy of mine who I know to be anti-gun call me and tell me he was changing a tire on his car and he found a gun where the spare was. The car was a rental prior to his purchase and the gun was pretty rusted so it had been there a few years. I have cleaned it up and shot it and it works fine, but it needs some parts replaced on it to make it acceptable. However, I am uncertain of the legality of owning this gun.
I found a site that you can run serial numbers through a database but it is a site from Florida. Would the legality of a gun be in a national database? I don't want to own something that could cause me problems and I don't want to cause issues for my friend.
Its not a cheap gun either so its kind of a nice find and I don't want to just give it up if I can keep it. But its not the a nice find if it will cause me trouble.
Suggestions?
