This was in Georgia about 20 years ago, and it was a shotgun, not a handgun, so I have no idea what the laws were, and at that time it never occurred to me to check. The current guns are from the estate and are in California. I'll probably just give them to a gun dealer or turn them in to the police. I don't want them in my house.
