I have a pistol from an estate of a older woman(99)who just died. I am one of the trustees for the estate. Her husband was a Chicago cop in the 50's. Cleaning out her room we found it. She lived in a nursing home, which was against the house rules to have a gun in a room.(can't emagine why) She and her husband who also died years ago, had a lot of guns. This 22 pistol was all she had left. She was a target shooter. The gun is a SW 22 pistol. How can I get it registered to me. If I go in a gun shop with a unregistered gun will they keep the gun. Should I just take the torch to it, and be done with it? I don't need any more problems in my life. My wife has her power of attorney, but since the lady has died, Will the wifes power of attorney still be in effect now. Any comments? Stan
