Pawn shops are a legitimate business, and tightly regulated under state and Federal laws. To pawn anything, you will have to provide them with your ID.

When you sell that stolen gun to the pawn shop, and they enter it into their inventory, the computer system recognizes it as a stolen firearm. You get visited by the police who arrest you for possession of stolen property.

When recovered, if they are traceable, they are returned to their rightful owners.

Maybe if you offer the prosecutor info on how you came to be in possession of the stolen firearm, you might be able to get some "consideration."
