Yeah, STOLEN! If you lose your wallet and its found along with all your identification or even if the I.D. is missing, the finder doesn't get to keep it. Each State has laws regarding this situation and in all of them I know about, the result is the same...you find something, you give it back to the owner or turn it over to the authorities. If you don't, you stole it or you are guilty of recieving stolen property...Geo

+1 to Geo's post.
The wallet analogy is a good one. I don't remember is Nash had a son or other family, but I know if I was that son, I'd be more than a little pissed that my dad's gun was being shared in some private "show and tell" and had not been returned to me.

I agree that the current owner should give it up if it is, in fact, the real deal. I do find it odd that George claims to have handled it several times but does not know who the owner is.
George, can you confirm who "the Fox historian" was that provided the letter of authenticity? Finding Bo-Whoop is breaking news in the Fox world. I suspect others would have heard about it's resurrection if it was true.
I think ol' George is full of beans.

The current don't know how to refer to him would never have sent for a letter, so why bother Georgi? Who's going to believe it's real?  Go on, delete the name Homer Simson!

Eric, the "Second" gun is accounted for. It is the "First" gun that is lost, or maybe found.

It's very simple. The gun is the real gun, when it comes to owning it or bragging about it. When it comes to being stolen or getting a visit from the ATF, it is a just a copy.
Why is that so hard to understand?

To be fair, most States have a Statute of Limitations or Statute of Repose which might preclude criminal prosecution of the current possessor of Bo-Whoop, but a civil recovery action by the heirs of Nash Buckingham would probably still be viable because hiding the existance of the gun for all these years would Toll any limitation of action. I still call it STOLEN though; this ain't a tricky ethics question...Geo

Given the publicity surrounding the loss of this gun, would it not appear on police/ATF lists? Does anyone know the serial numbber of the origional Bo Woop?

Hope all you guys have the proper paperwork other than the back of a bar napkin for your guns.
What does the law say about possesion 99% of the time?
