In most situations, doubt it.Is it actually illegal to throw a gun away in the trash? I've always wondered this.
I just think it was an interesting tale of when your dead brother's wife that you're banging searches your vehicle (cause suspicions), finds a gun, throws it away at a store, goes back for it...gone. SS (who have zero reason to be involved) go to the gun shop and wants docs that the shop is legally required to hold for 20yrs. Owner refused so atf (was it really even atf?) retrieves the docs showing who owned the gun. Docs that also just happen to likely Prove a Felony Committed by Hunter Biden...
