I received a query off line about illegal auto weapons. With the understanding that I am not an attorney and cannot give legal advice, I will say only that if I owned these, or any other illegal items, I would destroy them, now, totally and completely.

If you choose not to do so, you could write a letter, to be left in custody of your lawyer or executor and to be opened in event of your death. In it you say that you violated the law, that your spouse or children had no knowledge of the violation, and that you direct your executor to immediately abandon the illegal items to BATF or the police.

This might protect your family then or later on. If they do not know about the illegal items, they may inadvertently sell or try to sell them and be arrested. If you truly love your spouse and children, you don't want to saddle them with a big legal problem on top of the grief associated with your death.
