A few years ago my husband and I retired and were cleaning out the attic. He still had his old childhood .22 up there, not even shot for 50 years.
I put it in the trunk and said I'd drop it off at the police station the next day. When I went to the station I went in and told them I had an old rifle belonging to my husband and that "we" wanted to get rid of it. The officers said maybe I shouldn't be getting rid of "his" gun ! When I explained that my husband didn't care, in fact it was his idea, they still balked!! I ended up calling my husband at his office where he "gave permission" to get rid of the gun!!
I told the officers that , in my opinion, if any woman comes in and says it's her husbands gun and she wants it gone, they should take it with no questions asked!!.
