So You Inherited a Gun. Now What?

When a gun enthusiast passes away, those who inherit the guns aren’t always gun enthusiasts themselves. Often they are left with firearms they know nothing about and want nothing to do with. Below are some ideas for what to do with your inherited gun.

One of the first things that you should do is identify the firearm’s model, so you can get an idea of what it is worth. You can try searching Google Images or use this form. If you are able to read the serial number on your firearm then you will be able to determine exactly what it is. The serial number will provide a lot of useful information like model, manufacturing information and approximate value. Once you identify your firearm you can start figuring out how to get rid of it.

One of the easiest ways to get rid of your gun is to simply surrender it to your local police department. The downside is that they won’t pay you in many cases. If you want to get paid for your gun then you can take it down to a pawn shop. That means dealing with transporting the firearm and haggling with the pawnbrokers. Many people are uncomfortable with transporting and selling their firearm, the pawnbroker will sense this and try to buy the firearm for a ridiculously low price.
