Getting that black powder, percussion, double barrel shotgun "off the street" should save quite a few lives.

"Buy a shotgun!" - Shotgun Joe Biden That isnt a percussion shotgun. It was merely and old style break action shotgun with external hammers that struck firing pins. Most likely the barrels were Damascus steel and it IS a blessing that gun is off the street and will never be fired again. . . attempting to fire it with modern shells with modern pressures would likely cause it to explode the chamber and injure the person pulling the trigger. There is a vintage Winchester .22 pump rifle in that pile also... Looks like a model 1906. Not in great shape, over cleaned.
