I probably should take replies off the list, but I need to explain the question at some length so people will know whether to give it a shot.
I am licensed in Texas and living in Indiana but I think this is a federal question and I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong. A student of mine, in his first professoring gig in Virginia, died suddenly this week, natural causes. His dad is being driven to Virginia from Florida to wind up his affairs. I knew he was a shooter, but it turns out he has a veritable arsenal. His landlord, who I have been talking to on the phone, is also a shooter, but not used to this much hardware. My first response was What's the problem? You have some valuable items to turn over to his father who, since he is 82, will probably just take them to a licensed gun dealer and put them on consignment. He then asks me about the following items: A .22 pistol fitted for a silencer. When dad shows up, they will go in his storage locker, and they expect to find the silencer there. Assume they do. A number of 30 round .223 clips. One rifle that appears to him to be full auto. I don't think there is any way, if this is in fact full auto, that he has a license for it, because he had a felony conviction from long ago and I helped with a pardon application, which was denied (leading him to blow off the JD for the PhD). Some ammunition that appears to be .22 caliber. The package says "Aguila Sniper Subsonic." The objective here is to comply with the law in all respects with the least amount of hassle for an 82 year old who has just lost his son. I am hoping that complying with the law and not having a hassle are not conflicting goals. Should some of this stuff be illegal, should he turn it in to ATF, or to the local cops for turning in to the ATF? Is there anything wrong with the scenario of taking a bunch of rifles and pistols that ARE legal to a gun dealer? Hauling them back to Florida for that purpose?
