What happens to guns used to take ones own life?

[Doesn'tPlayWellw/Others]

Does it go back to the family or individual named in the will?
Evidence?
Destroyed?

Very bad luck to own one.

usually given back to the family.

I've got a buddy that has the one his FIL used to off himself. When he pulled it out and tried to hand it to me, I backed up. Then I asked him "why the F@#% is that even in your house?"

He said they wanted to keep it. To each his own I guess. I understand, the gun didn't do anything. I don't give a ****. I'd find a lake and toss it way out in the middle of it somewhere.

Suicide guns are bad luck. I don't want to be anywhere close to one.

Bunch of superstitious girls lol
I saw a Glock 22 for sale a few weeks ago either on here or armslist that the guy said was used in a suicide iirc

When I was a kid my dad had a marlin .22 that the neighbor used to off himself. Dad got it from the family as they didn't want it once they got it back from the police. Traded it and $60 of my lawn mowing money for a Remington 521T that I still have.

How many of you that are freaked out by suicide guns have surplus rifles? How many German women and children were beaten to death by the butt of your Mosin Nagant? I have surplus guns and
Figure they weren't all used for heroic purposes. To each their own

Sounds like a discount would be in order...like a house that had a murder in it.

Yeah that sounds very callous...but, like someone said earlier, it wasn't the gun that pulled the trigger.

If it were me and I was given a firearm that was either used to defend oneself or someone decided to end their life with I would accept it. I not only would accept it I would have no issue carrying it or to use it for home defense. Because to me it would serve as a reminder to me how precious and frail our human lives are. I might have a different view on the topic due to past work in the health field ans my choice of religious beliefs . I have seen numerous lives before and after the life force has left them. And many times I was the last one to lay hands on them before they left this world. I look at any object as being just that and object. It has no breath in it nor does it have a soul. To me it would be a shame to see something like that destroyed. To me it is the same as someone who collects guns used in war. Or enemy flags from the past ( Nazi or Japanese) .

They get sold at gun shows to unsuspecting buyers.
