The possession of rounds is not illegal (Unless you're a felon...)Ironman126 said:
The possession of a firearm that is potentially stolen/used for crime/unregistered is not good. Not good at all.
Plus, rounds are expensive as all hell now a days.
It'd be a pretty rare sight in England, I don't think I've ever actually seen a pistol. Seeing as only some mobster or murder would have left it there I'd rather not get my grubby mits all over it so I guess I'd call the police. Then again I'm awfully lazy.
Yeah pretty much this.Callex said:
I'd grab it, making sure I'm wearing gloves, and throw it in a fucking canal.

Always wanted a real gun for myself.
For sporting, of course. Target shooting and that.
You find a gun and snap! The gun's a game!
And every task you undertake
becomes a piece of cake!
A lark! A spree!
It's very clear to see!
That a pull of the trigger
makes the enemy go down!
The enemy go doooown
Enemy go down
Just a pull of the trigger
makes the enemy go down!
In the most delightful way!

Pick it up, remove the bullets, head for a gun shop and see what their policy is on guns found lying on street corners.
If I have to turn it in and the police are dumb enough to try and link me to a crime with it, smile sweetly and ask if I should sue for one or two million in the defamation suit.
I can't see leaving it there. Too many stupid people are already armed. No reason to have one more. And no, I'm not implying that all people who have guns are stupid. I'm stating that there are lots of stupid people out there and, for reasons I cannot fathom, lots of 'em are armed. One stupid person carrying a device that spits high-velocity metal with the application of light finger pressure is one too many.

Finding a gun lying around is actually pretty serious. It could have been dropped or dumped. If it was dropped then I could be charged with possession of stolen property. If it was dumped I could face the consequences of possessing a weapon used in a crime. I would report it.
Ah. Makes sense. I take it you have a way to use said bullets if you specifically need .45 ACP.AccursedTheory said:
And rounds are expensive. Except .22 LR. They are literally cheaper than dirt. I did the math, to buy a comparable weight of .22 LR rounds it costs less than a comparable weight of potting soil. Is it totally case specific? Yes, but i do not care.
Being an Australian, it would be safe to asume that any gun found on the street has a history, I'd call the police and stick around until they turned up just to keep kids away.
I know a guy who about 20 years ago found a small automatic pistol in a playground, he picked it up in a hanky and put it in his pocket and kept playing with his kids. He left it in his pocket, then about two hours later dropped by a police station to turn it in. When he handed it over the police told him it was loaded, cocked and the safety had been off the whole time. He almost passed up when he realised how close he had come to blowing his balls off.

Guns are illegal here. Anonymous call-in to police as I gtfo. Can still remember the guy who found a shotgun and, being a good-minded citizen, took it straight to the nearest police station - he was ex-military and so knew how to handle guns. There they thanked him and arrested him for possession of a firearm. Go justice!
Turn it in, my area has a cash reward for that sort of thing, I already have a few guns anyway, I rather have the cash.
I would be tempted to test it out on some targets in the field near my house but because of the noise and risks involved I would probably just end up handing it in to the police.Benn_Walden said:
