You take a shoe lace and pass it through the trigger guard, then take it to the cop.
When some people found the six shot revolver, used in the Tate/La Bianca murders (Charles Manson), they carefully turned it over to a cop without touching the firearm.
The cop then wallowed the firearm in his hands ruining all fingerprints.
