How would you dispose of a handgun

[Newton]

Thanks for the responses guys, I'm a little surpirsed at the number of "take it to the police" responses.

I'm thinking either the book end deal, or a visit to Mr.Hacksaw and a little trip out on my local lake may be in order.

...a visit to Mr.Hacksaw and a little trip out on my local lake may be in order.

I'm not sure I understand why that's needed. Why not just cut it up and throw it in the trash? What's the point of burial or sinking? You're not a criminal, it wasn't used in a crime, and it really is trash. Why not treat it as such?

If you handload, I'd suggest acquiring some surplus .30 or .50 cal AP bullets and have some fun destroying it.

A bench grinder could reduce it to dust.

I believe Gun Parts Corp buys non-functional pistols, or will at least tell you if they want them. I've never gone that route, but if they do take it, at least someone could use a part or two from it. Kind of like taking a junk car to the salvage yard. Maybe you'll even make a buck or two.
