Workers at a Maine Goodwill store got quite a shock when they opened a donated book: They found a gun inside. . .
The book was actually a small safe and inside was a .31-caliber black powder pistol.
Detective Dorothy Small says the department is turning to social media to try and find the gun's owner.

A black powder pistol? That’s kind of odd to conceal something like that.

Maybe not if it was an original and/or had some historic ownership behind it.

.31 caliber black-powder pistol?
What would that ammunition even look like? Sounds like a real antique.

Makes you wonder if whomever brought the book in even knew it was in there. Owner could have bought a box of books at auction, got a few good ones out and chucked the rest.

"So that they can arrest them for it.."
It may very well qualify as a relic and not be illegal to posess even in anti-2nd amendment states.
To: BenLurkin
More likely one of these... I've seen them in fake books at gun stores from time to time.
