Gun is expired

[ElkhartGunner]

What do I have to do to get rid of a gun? I have a Kel-Tec 9mm that has so many bad parts and a missing firing pin that i just want to trash it, but know thats a bad idea. How do I dispose of it and how do I go about telling law enforcement I dont own it anymore? Suggestions appreciated.

 

[Scutter01]

Don't know about disposal, but why does law enforcement have to know? It's none of their business as Indiana does not have gun registration.

I'll take it off your hands

Seriously

 

[Vigilant]

Send it to me, I'll make all the necessary contacts, as well as repairs needed. Rest assured, it will have a good home and you will feel better in the morning. Oh, does it take Glock mags? Or, if it's not a Sub, I'll thermite it in place.

It just occurred to me that broken parts may be covered under Kel-Tec's warranty. It might be worth sending it for repair and then selling it.

Yup, Lifetime warranty and they're pretty good from what i hear. Def worth it IMO.

What model is it?

 

[karlsgunbunker]

I'll give you $25 for it.
I can always fix it or send it to KelTec for repairs.
How far are you from Indy?

its a kel tec p11 9mm. i bought it used some time ago so the warranty did not come with it. it was a good gun but not what i wanted. i lost the firing pin to it some time ago while transporting it all disassembled. i thought the police knew i had it from when the gun store called it in and gave them the serial numbers to it that it would be under my name, thats why i wanted to know of how to dispose of it properly.

There is NO firearm registration in Indiana.

If you send the gun back to Kel-tec, they will either fix it for free or repair it at a nominal cost.

If you dan't want to keep it or mess with getting it fixed, give/sell it to someone who will.

 

[Seancass]

The phone call at the gun store was just to make sure you could buy a gun, in this case a handgun. Beyond that, they couldn't care less about any more specifics than "handgun".

I would be surprised if kel-tec wouldn't fix the whole thing. Then you could sell it for a couple hundered, or at cost to a friendly ingo member.

 

[Scutter01]

Or, you could give it to a friendly and helpful person. Perhaps an INGO moderator who first answered your question.

Your broken kel-tec is blood in this shark pool! Oh, and I would be interested in buying it too...

Just let us know where you live and someone will be happy to take it off your hands and leave you with cash.

 

[Cwood]

I am close to you, live in Marshall county. If you are interested in selling it let me know.

You cannot ship handguns via UPS. At least that is what they told me at the local UPS hub.

I think handguns have to go by USPS or FedEx.

 

[mrw]

Other way around. You can not ship handguns via USPS unless you're a dealer. You CAN ship hand guns via Fedex or UPS. They both require Next Day Air, although I read that UPS will now let you ship Second Day.

 

[sloughfoot]

That is right. Sorry for the bad info..They did say no UPS ground shipment, only air.

 

[ElkhartGunner]

thanks for all the great info. i dont know what im going to do with it now. i really dont like the idea of only having 1 gun when i can have 2. (my keltec and my ruger)

 

[ashylarry]

you cant ship anything gun related via The UPS Store, "not even a pistol grip" according the the manager. You have to take it to one of their big hubs. I tried to ship an upper today and they sent me away. Went to the USPS and they didn't even question me.

Since you're in Elkhart you can go right to the UPS hub at Hively and 17th street, I believe it is one block north of Nappanee Street.Just have it packaged first.You can also ship it thru Fedex which is next to the airport in South Bend.If it were me I'd have it fixed.If you just want to get rid of it, I live on the northside off of Bristol St. (LOL).Like I said I'd have it fixed.HTH
