My wife's dad passed away a few months ago, he was an officer in the Navy and had brought some of his guns home. He was in the invasion of Normandy as the captain of a Landing Transport Ship. One was a fully automatic carbine (M1?) that I wanted but he seemed worried about the legality and giving me something that could land me in serious trouble. We think he turned it in to the LA police department as we found information in his papers on an amnesty period that you could turn in illegal guns.
I'd like to know if it was turned in but we have no information short of a two year period between when I knew he had it and it being gone now.
