 Granny had an old gun. - henry k
A grandmother has been jailed for five years for possessing a "family heirloom" World War II pistol.

news.stv.tv/scotland/tayside/183046-granny-jailed-for-keeping-war-hero-dads-pistol-in-home/
"The court heard that the family heirloom semi-automatic pistol was made about 1941 "

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/10335003.stm
"The weapon was sent for examination by firearms experts who concluded that it was a Czech-made pistol dating back to about 1927. "

Some good reporting ?

If anyone finds a hand gun that was dads / grandads or maybe grandmas what can or should be the action taken to "dispose" of it legally ?
Pop it in a brown paper bag and pop down to the local police station?
Dial 999 and ask for the collection service?

We do not know the full facts in this case but with the potential risk of five years in side HMP calling for help seems to have more risks than wrapping it up and chucking it in the wheely bin.
