Re: Can I throw a gun away?
Easiest way is to send the frame back to the manufacturer. They may issue you a replacement with the same serial number. THIS is the way to do it, IMHO.
To dispose of it? I would torch it into three pieces according to ATF specs...but I would NEVER throw it out or destroy a gun.He was one of God’s own prototypes—a high-powered mutant of some kind who was never even considered for mass production. He was too weird to live and too rare to die....

Take a reciprocating saw to it. A few well placed cuts will take care of the worry of it being used for nefarious purposes.
I found both triggers to be terrible to me so the triggers are on a scale to me.. The Glock was a crisper suck and the XD was a more mushy suck. They are in the same family, SR9 (heavy suck), Glock (crisp heavy suck), XD( lighter mushy suck), M&P(heavy mushy suck).

Re: Can I throw a gun away?
A rifle or shotgun, while not subject to the transfer restrictions of the UFA, would still be the basis for "negligent entrustment" or even "reckless endangerment" liability if it fell into the wrong hands. I doubt that they exclude prohibited persons from trash pickup employment, and whatever sticks out of your trashcan is pretty much fair game for vagrants and the neighborhood kids.
Every gun has at least enough cash value to justify driving to the local gun shop, even getting $5 would pay for gas, plus you won't have to hire me in 6 months to explain to the DA how your cheap-ass gun ended up involved in the next schoolyard shooting. Even a non-working gun could be used in a robbery that ends badly.

Re: Can I throw a gun away?
Thanks for all the responses, I don't plan on throwing a gun away, I was just curious as to whether or not it was legal.
But if throwing it away is an unlawful transfer, wouldn't also mean if I throw a bag of cocaine out in the trash, the garbage co. become a drug trafficker, or if I throw out something I stole, doesn't that make them a recipient of stolen property??

Use it for a steel target.
