One other thing could possibly happen. A bad guy could be sent to prison. Most Good guys don't lose their guns or toss them out a car window.Mr.Scott wrote: Could you enlighten us on how the police will notify the owner? this took place in Houston and there is no registration required.
If you turn it into the police 1 of 2 things is going to happen. It's going to go home with someone that works there or it's going to get melted down.
I believe many of us would notify the local police if one of our handguns came up missing. Texas does maintain a database of stolen guns. Perhaps this gun is important evidence in a crime.
To not try to find the owner is almost like stealing it.
