    Default Another Legal Question-Handguns

    I know there has been several threads like this, but I think this is a tad different.

    Back in the 70s, when I lived in NJ, I was friends with a bunch of LEOS. I bought 2 handguns from one of them. No paperwork. There is a Hi Hunter "Six Shooter" .357, and a .25 semi auto. This was a small town, and I doubt the guns were stolen or there are any body's on them. But I have no idea who, if anyone they will come back to.

    Is there any way I can check them out, without sticking my neck in a grinder. Or can I legally make them legal with no risk if there is something bad in their history.

    Thanks

    They are legal, you're in PA and there's no registration
    End of story. IMHO

    5th amendment for the rest

    If you want a paper trail... Transfer them to yourself at an FFL
