I have a friend that I helped with a elk hunt a few weeks ago ( I loaned him a bunch of equipment). When he returned my equipment, he said he has a gift for me at his house and to come over the next day. When I get there he tells me he wants to give me a S&W model 60 .38 special. I was floored, it's a beautiful gun but I'm not sure about the backstory on the gun. He said his friend left it with him 5 years ago and never came back for it, he found out his friend left the country. I haven't brought the gun home yet, but what do I do, do I go to PD to make sure the gun is not reported stolen? Can they do that at a gun store? I really want to accept this gun but I don't want to make a bad decision. My friend is very trustworthy but I'm not sure it's worth me having to explain to PD that my friend has the gun if it's been reported stolen. Any advice?
