But it's not official policy, which is what worries me. I have an attorney who will intercede on behalf of the person turning it in. Basically, the owner goes to his office, he calls the ATF, and the handover is done there.
Remarkably, the ATF agents I've spoken with agree that this is a sound idea. |
You sir, are correct. That's the right way to do things.
Additionally, resist the urge to take these guns to the range, even once. It's a shame to lose these pieces of history, but it's worse to be jailed because of them.
I have known of folks that have these firearms/devices and it's not worth having them around. You can't sell them legitimately, and they'll come back to bite you in the butt when you least expect it...
