Poll: you find a gun . . .

If this gun has nothing to do with a crime (i know there's no way to tell but whatever) then i'd empty the bullets down the drain and take it home with me. Especially if it's a revolver, they look cooool.
Otherwise, i'd just leave it and call the police. Finding a gun in England is rare as fuck anyway...

In that situation, there might as well be a bright neon sign on the gun saying "Picking this up is a very bad idea!" Which it is. I'd just ignore it. I'd maybe call the police to let them know, but otherwise I'd avoid it. There's no reason the majority of society needs a gun anyway.
I would say pick it up and keep at my house but to be honest i would be concerned that i would get done for murder or something due to it being a murder weapon.So you would just keep on walking and ignore it.
If it was guarnteed it wasnt on a watch list or something i would take it home and stash it.

Call the police, but do not pick the gun up, not only could it be evidence but I've heard so many stories of people being charged for possessing an illegal weapon when they turned in guns they found. Morally I can't just keep walking, a kid might find it or it could be vital evidence in a crime.
call the police, but not touching it, if the person who had the gun before killed someone i'd rather not be the person who goes to jail because of it
As much as I would love another handgun, if it's lying on the side of the road; someone probably dropped after a hit.
Just leave it there.
Just leave it there.
Call the cops...right there and then, they can handle the rest.
But if I feel really lucky, take a cloth or something else, pick it up with it to prevent prints, check the chamber, unload if needed, de-cock the hammer, put it in something convenient like a plastic bag, if I happen to have one, then take it to the cops.
While I do feel like just keeping it, and sometimes even feel like fucking shit up with it and kill people, in a real situation, the most logical thing is to just call the authorities. It could be evidence, used in a crime stained with AIDS, the hell do I know. So better not mess with it.
Also, I did already find gun parts, as a kid tho, I didn´t quite know what the hell they where, but in hindsight, I remembered them being Mauser rifle parts, a bolt and a scope...so obviously either a german soldier took it apart and tossed it into the woods at the end of the war, or someone left them there recently (Mausers are still widely used for hunting or competitive shooting...or for friggin fun shooting at the range, they work great and fire a solid round.), I did not know.

Keep on walking as the weapon was likely a figment of my imagination. If it is a real gun that is really lying there I want nothing to do with it.
Realistically - Slowly walk away while looking around nervously to see if anyone's looking. Hopefully the police'll find it before some kid shoots himself but I don't need the interogation right now.
Idealistically - Grab it at the last moment before I get mauled and kill my assailant starting me on an epic quest with increasingly devestating weaponry to rid the world of aliens.
