I'm confused as to whether he just found them and turned them in or if it means that he found them ten years ago, kept them, and just now decided to turn them in. I assume that would make a difference as to whether they decided to charge him with a NFA violation. Honestly, I hope they don't, because that would mean nobody would do the right thing. If they do charge him, that's gonna be 10 years for the NFA violation.

I realize that it's possible to legally own live grenades..expensive though I bet. You'd have to get an explosive's license, probably have to own a bunker of some sort that the closest neighbor was at least a half mile away, and then I bet you'd have to pay the $200 stamp tax for each one as well. Personally I just stick with firearm ownership. While I support the right for law-abidding people to go through the legal process to own grenades, I think I would freak out having one or any type of explosive around me. Unless my life depended on it, I don't think I could even work up the courage to pull the pin and toss one at some explosive-legal blasting area.

old man proably smuggled them back from the war or something then he finds them thinks why would dad keep live grenades around they must be inert then years later the kid pulls them out of a box in the attic like hey dad whats this then he figures out hey live grenades and calls the police.

Explosives aren't really firearms
