How do you get rid of a gun and will you get in trouble if you dont have a permit?

It depends. In the U.S. it is not illegal to possess a gun unless you are under a certain age (within certain limitations), or unless the gun is stolen, or you are a felon, as long as you are somewhere you can legally possess the gun. If you think the gun may be stolen, call the police and they will usually check it, then dipose of it if it is. If it is stolen, they will usually not give you any trouble unless they think you stole it.Added: You will undoubtedly have to bring the gun to the agency to be checked. It is EXTREMELY doubtful that they will do this over the phone.

How long are you going to jail for buying a stolen gun?

my knowledge on the sugject is that if a person had no prior knowledge that it was stolen then if the police find the gun and see it is stolen then theyll return it to its rightful owner, this goes for any property that they believe is stolen but that the police do not believe is the owner. so most likely a person would not get any punishment, but that might be effected by local or state laws or it could be effected by the specific situation.
