Law Enforcement NFA rules

Title to that Thompson belongs to the Sheriff. So upon the fellow's demise it should have been returned to the issuing agency. Possession and title are two different things.
 
Like I said:

I presume the Thompson is moldering away in a closet at the courthouse while the department has moved on to more modern long guns.

I think the Thompson was in his car at the crash... an MG Midget hit by a truck running a stop sign with the driver on bennies. The responding PD was said to have been picking up scattered guns for a while, he had the habit of carrying everything he even thought he might want to shoot anytime soon.
 
I would think the PD would return it to the Sheriff. SFPD learned from me that one of their Thompsons came from the Federal Prison System. They have no idea how they acquired it. It must have been decades ago when Alcatraz was a prison. They returned it to the Feds.
