The only thing worse than being in possession of a stolen gun is being in possession of a stolen gun that was used in a crime. [...] The fact that it had two fired rounds and was tossed into a vacant lot is rather unusual. It could also be the key to solving a crime that leads to closure for some family.
Get a reciept. Make it clear that you would like to keep it if the gun comes back clean.

When I got it open it was loaded with three live cartriges and two fired cases.
Nasty-looking green-brown cartriges; It was very hard to get them out. I had to use a cleaning rod and I kept adding constant pressure until they poped out. I had the rod against the ground just in case. I did not what my hand on the end of the rod.
I threw the live ones out immediately. Its a rim-fire.
By-the-way, do they still give money for gun buy-backs?
