Poll: you find a gun . . .

[neonnightlite]

The most responsible thing... rob a bank.

 

[GGZeta]

Real Life: I wouldn't EVEN touch it, just call the cops with the location anonymously and walk away.

Videogame Life: Sell it, I specialized melee combat.

 

[Voodoomancer]

Call the police and notify them of it's location, and not touch it.

I have enough guns, and why would I risk taking home what could have been a murder weapon?

This. Only I don't have enough. Not YET.

I really hate guns, there is just no good reason for someone to have one.

Please stick to the subject at hand, there is no need for this to turn into a debate.

I did...:/ opinions different from yours aren't automatically irrelevant. Should go without saying but whatever.

It just seems like you could have said "There is no good reason for ME to have one" instead of saying that people that own guns have no reason to. The way you worded it could easily be taken as an insult to any gun owner.

I wasn't trying to demean your opinion, so I apologize for any offence taken.

I accept your apology for a start.
But my stance on subject remains that it is needlessly dangerous both to yourself and those around you for anyone to own and/or use a firearm.

See, now you're debating (more like preaching). The thread subject is about what we would do in the situation, not the ethics of firearms. You are trolling and you don't even know it.

 

[Drunkenclam]

Go on a killing spree hehe

 

[ThePinkAcidSmurf]

Call the police of course, what other choice do regular law abiding citizens have?

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Umm... why isn't "ignore it and walk away" an option? Because that is what I would do, being the paranoid person I am...

 

[thecoreyhlltt]

why would so many people hand it in to the police?! they must've never shot a gun before.
i'd keep it, file down the inside of the barrel in case it had been used in a crime of some sort ( so ballistics can't match a bullet fired from it) and then i'd probablly do some shooting!!!! YEEEEEEHHAAAAAAWW!

 

[Foxbat Flyer]

Nothing like a weapon with some one else's prints on it to do some "Business"

 

[Dfskelleton]

I already have one. Might as well give it to the police, especially if it can put some serial killer in prison.
My gun's probably nicer than that one anyways lol.

Guns in the UK are a strict liability. Even if I took it straight to a police station and handed it in, I would be arrested and likely charged for carrying a firearm. So no, I wouldn't touch the damn thing.

Roughly this. There was actually a news story a while back about a guy who found a shotgun in the woods. He called the police then and there, told them he was going to take it back to his house and take it to the station in the morning to hand it in, to which he was told it was alright.

When he got to the station, he handed over the gun and was promptly arrested. He was then charged and prosecuted for having possession of a firearm.

So i'd leave it the fuck alone, call the police on the spot and wait there until someone came for it. I'd rather a kid didn't get his hands on a gun.

 

[Sir-jackington]

hide it, never intend use it, get drunk, end up shooting my tv, cry, sleep, wake up very upset

 

[theheroofaction]

Well since I live in a hunting community a lost gun wouldn't seem all that odd so that takes out that factor

On the one hand, I'm not exactly Firearm legal yet, But on the other hand, FREE SHIT.
Being the greedy person that I am I'd probably take it and stuff it in a safe until I could get licensed.

 

[magicmonkeybars]

It's funny, this happened to me years ago, although I don't recall what happened to it...

 

[Eternal_24]

I'd like to keep it for myself, especially with guns being illegal here, it would just be interesting to own one, but I think the possible repercussions would cause me to call the police and not touch it.

 

[Nautical Honors Society]

Guns on the side of the road are never really good news...I will call the cops and hand that bad boy in.

 

[gphjr14]

Take to the police. If there are bodies on the gun (murders) you could be in deep shit for possessing it. More than likely its stolen and again getting caught with it would cause you some trouble.

This question is kind of stupid. Money or something that wouldn't ultimately land you in jail would be a better question.

 

[Sion_Barzahd]

I'd like to keep it, but having a gun would probably tempt me into using it and i'm too pretty for prison.

I'd probably either ignore it or call the police.

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

I'd just walk away. I don't want anything to do with it.

 

[Light 086]

I have enough guns, and why would I risk taking home what could have been a murder weapon?

If you're lucky, the person who originally owned it would take the blame

OT: Sell it Then it's not my problem and I get some cash for it. A thank you from the police doesn't pay the bills.
