Down boy. No one threw this gun just because he wasn’t using it at that second. It’s hot or it’s used in a crime or both. Besides, even if it was fine, the cops will never let you have it. It’s theirs baby.

If it was stolen from an owner who reported it they have the serial number. So, if one picked it up to keep/use and it was later used legally in self defense and then documented/discovered... the new owner would be in world of shiite for possession of stolen firearm.
No one throws a Glock out the window who isn’t a perp. That’s a given. Depending on where this was, could have been a service weapon yet another bozo “lost” while jogging.
Another option— have the S/N run by a friendly officer and see what’s what— not saying you have it etc.
But, just picking it up to use— dangerous on a lot of levels if it’s jamming or has been misused/damaged.

Never turn in a gun.
Quietly add it to your collection.

As a kid we used to say, ‘finders keepers, losers weepers’. In this case though keeping the gun could possibly result in a big can of unwanted worms. Reporting the gun to police could possibly lead to solving a crime(s).

If someone tossed it away, there was probably a reason. Go out and get a new one.

Morals call for you too have done what you did. Probably stolen, probably used in a crime. It wasn’t yours, you don’t keep it.

I purchased an old and reliable design - (brand new) Springfield 1911 .45 cal! You can get 8 rd magazines for them - but one rd is sufficient in taking down a human being... It shots like a well tuned engine - the design is amazing...females I have trained in different calibers shot best with this due to the heaviness - but superior spring/slide combo...I carry everywhere - except schools...

I would have picked it up, kept it, and not said anything to anyone about it.I would have picked it up. Kept it, written down the serial number and then given it to someone I didn't like. Afterwards, I'd send an anonymous letter to the police that said individual had a handgun they weren't supposed to have, serial # _____________________ . How's that for creativity? [/s & humor]

The attitude of the law toward found objects varies from state to state.
Morally, as a Lockean, I regard found objects whose owner cannot be discovered to have reverted to common. A finder can thus, without committing theft, appropriate the found object from common by the labor of picking it up. This is why we all, without guilt, pick up coins we find lying on public sidewalks, but point them out to their owners when we see them fall out of their pockets — in the former case the coin has reverted to common, in the latter, it has not, since an owner is identifiable.
There is a point in asking, since perhaps when your state passed the prevailing statutes, a Lockean attitude prevailed in the legislature and what I regard as the correct approach to found objects was put into law.

Parental Standing Order # 72: “If, my child, you find a gun, or a stack of money, or gold bars, you are to bring them to me so I can quietly add it to my belongings.”

Reporting the gun to police could possibly lead to solving a crime(s).I would have been compelled as a good civic minded citizen, to do exactly what my daughter did and turn the gun in.
Liking my Glock as I do, for purely self defensive purposes, I would have regretted turning in the found weapon if it was in very good condition. However, I do not need a self inflicted can of worms. Life has enough already.
