A friend's co-worker has a elderly mother battling cancer and they just found out the woman has a handgun in the house that nobody knew about.
I am guessing it is some cheap POS, but they don't want to touch it nor do they have a FOID card to transport it.
I would like to help, but don't want to end up with a hassle.
Is there an official protocol for this?
I am not really a handgun guy, so keeping it is not a big deal.
