What's the difference in keeping a found gun and taking possession of a gun from a private sale with no legal transfer?
Other than actually meeting someone for a FTF transfer and an exchange of funds, what's the difference?
In a private sale, the buyer really doesn't know for a certainty that the gun is legal and an exchange of funds doesn't legally entitle you to anything without some sort of paper trail. The assumption is everything is legit.
In the case of a found gun, the assumption is just the opposite.
So I really can't follow the logic of doing away with a found gun and no problems buying a gun privately.
I'm not advocating either way ... just learn me something today.
If you find a boat hidden in tall brush on property you just purchased, does that make the boat belong to you?
