I was dumping some crappy .22’s at a “buy-back” in NY state and an old gal walked in with a perfect condition M-1 in it’s original “U.S.” tan canvas case. The officer told her to take it to a gun shop and not to take less than $500 for it.
P.S. She was gone before I could catch her outside.
Kudos to the officer for not being a hoplophobic drone or accepting the turn-in and keeping it himself. An actual public servant. Hats off.
