Called the cops and they came and took it. I'm glad, because I really didn't want to put it in my truck.

I feel like if you find a gun and turn it in they should have to trade you one back otherwise it's finders keepers

    I don't think it's advisable to hold onto a gun that was likely used in someone else's crime!

    Police: Sir, why are you in possession of a gun that was used in a murder 15 years ago?
    Law Abiding Fisherman: I found it magnet fishing.
    Police: Why didn't you call it in to us and report it?
    Law Abiding Fisherman: I live by a higher law. A natural law. And there are no takes backsies.
    Police: sotto voce Oh, wow. I'm impressed by this man's integrity and dedication to righteousness. Aloud Okay sir, that all checks out. You have a nice day.

    A balloon pops. Police empties his magazine into the Law Abiding Fisherman. In his report it states the decedent was in possession of a firearm that was previously used in a crime. Police gets 6 months off with pay while the matter is investigated. At the conclusion of the inquest Police is granted early retirement with full pension. Police receives a medal
