He took the weapon to Bullhead City police, who say it was not registered or reported lost or stolen.

First thing I thought of was the 1919A4 in the golf bag in Dr. Strangelove.

Well we don’t have to, but we can if we’re dumb.

I always figured stuff found inside thrift store purchases were just bonus.

Gopher gun?

Thanks — it was a good day.

I bought my Highlander used in 2002. Drove it for two weeks before reaching under the passenger seat looking for a cd. I felt a triangular pouch! Inside was a loaded, mint condition ‘65 Colt Woodsman. Yee ha! Called my cop buddy and he ran it. Legal, not reported lost or stolen. Checked acouple more times ove a few month period. All clear! Car was sold due to a nasty divorce, and I figure the divorced husband figured his ex-wife tossed the gun.

License to kill gophers.

Registered? Why was that said?

[ArtDodger]

A bit off topic, but I saw something cool. A BBQ that runs off of pellets!

Honey, Have you seen my golf bag?

Oh. I gave that old thing to the Salvation Army.

NNOOooo.

OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!!

Hilarious that this type of story so terrifies HuffPo readers.

[rktman]

Yup. It irritates me to no end if I see some “inaccurate” scene in a movie or something and the person or persons say “It came back as unregistered.”. What the hell? Softening up the public for when firearms MUST be registered? Idjits.

“Sales of used golf bags hits all time low for huffy readers!” As opposed to “Free gun with every golf bag purchased.” Woo Hoo.
