It sounds like Rixuneaux Jr was not the legal owner, but was just a middleman in the sale. Jr is 18, so can the owner report the firearm stolen by Rixuneaux?CleverNickname wrote:An 18-20 y.o. can purchase a handgun and handgun ammo from a non-FFL. It doesn't have to be a gift.

I agree. I would make your son do this. This is not a take him to the range and teach him safety rules, this is the issue of his friend putting him into a possible felony situation. Sounds like something from Chicago.doncb wrote:I'd definitely get in touch with LE and have them take the gun. The 17yo wanting to unload a gun is a huge red flag. Especially when he wants someone else to do it. Here is what I see. The gun is stolen and the 17yo is holding hot property. Gets your son to sell it. Said gun is found to having been stolen / used in a crime. The person caught holding the gun rats on your son. Guess who the police are going to come for?
