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.
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.
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.
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.
go to ups and send the gun to kel-tec they will fix it or send a new one with same serial#
life time warranty for the gun
i had 2 used guns that i sent back
there customer service is A+
you can find more info here KTOG.org
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.
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)
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
