speaking as one who has recently probated an estate of a parent

the pistol, as property of the deceased unless specifically left to a named person would be considered chatel, and the courts do not concern themselves with it. I have 3 sisters and any thing that was removed from the estate unless named in a will was up for grabs, finders keepers, possession is 9/10 of the law kind of thing.

So, I wouldn't concern myself about ownership. Unless dad was a bank robber in a past life, you may be concerned.
