Farmer Blue, here is where you start the rest of your life. It's full of decisions. Some hard some easy. All of these choices will build your character. First your grandpa told you not to take it off his property. Do you want to risk losing his trust? Second, You don't know if the weapon is stolen or not. Now there are multiple options. do you leave it on your grandpas property and forget it. Do you take it to the police to have the serial number checked through NCIC? Do you lie and just take the Sn# to the police and say your "thinking" of purchasing a weapon with this Sn#. If you do have the Sn# checked and it comes back clear then you would need to talk to your grandpa about carrying it. And take it to a weapon specialist/ armorer to see if it is structurally and mechanically sound to carry. If it came back with a criminal history you would be required to turn it over to the police if it were evidence in a case. Personally I would rather have a clear conscious one way or the other. If it came back dirty I would rather turn a weapon over to the police to solve a crime and purchase a new one than have it in the back of my mind the rest of my life
"what if I get caught with it." Once you start carrying a weapon there is a infinite number of choices, decisions, responsibilities both moral and ethical. Killing a animal is nothing like killing a person. I'm not telling you what to do. Just giving you some things to think about. If your thinking about police work as a career check with someone in the local P.D. and do a ride along if the let you. As for checking the Sn# I don't know of any way to check it without going through the local authorities. They are the only ones with access to NCIC or your local data base. One last thought. If you pull a weapon to kill someone weather you fire or not. You have (less than 1/4 of a second) to decide weather you are going to kill them or not and do it. The jury will have (weeks and weeks) to pick apart what you did and why you did it.

Welcome to life and the choices that make us what we are.

Good luck.
