Hypothetically, just wondering , in a parallel that universe..

[fuzeman]

A friend of a friend of a second cousin thrice removed happens to have around 5 long guns and around 5 pistols, all of which ( pistols )  my Uncle brought home from WW II, have to be ‘officialized’ and legalized.

 What should, would, could the pudknocker in that position do?

Any suggestions will be relayed to them as ‘a little birdie told me!’

It's largely going to depend on the state and whether any are full automatic.

[Meatwad]

Depends. If they dont know they exist, dont report it. Its none of their business. Most everyone in hellinois doesnt follow the illegal rifle registration law

[Eagler]

Lock them up in a gun safe and don't shoot anyone with one and you'll be fine..

Check your state laws.  Don't ask a cop.  Not only could they be wrong regarding firearms law (I recently experienced this), just don't ask a cop.  Other than the full-auto issue, no crime committed with one is no crime to be found. 

[AKIron]

You can own a full auto that's older than 1986 but you gotta pay a $200 tax. Unless you live in a commie state.

[fuzeman]

 Nothing full auto.  He had a Luger but the Ohio clan sort of confiscated that long ago.
Housing Judge does know of them, not by my choice.
Western New York state is the location.

Last I heard you have to register a gun in New York. Don't know how "they" can claim to have come by them without lying or admitting "they" had them illegally.

You could move to Texas.

[fuzeman]

Well, moving might be in my future but my best situation is here.  Doubt I could afford Texas and time will tell about here.  LoL
There really isn't any proof he brought them back.  I do recall a note, nothing official looking, that noted the pistol selection and it’s providence, if that term is appropriate.

A little birdie told them although I think I already messed up that part.

NY gun laws are unconstitutional so legally you don't have to follow them. One might consider civil disobedience and exercise one's right to be silent.

[Molsman]

Will them to me and they will be safe here In Pa a lot of old guns i think don’t have to be registered and if they do they would never know since they are historical

Hmmm,  I do see a small problem for me in this scenario.
Being a will, would that not require me to stop living which would then initiate the transfer of said firearms?  And I am supposedly on a shorter than normal timeline regarding this.
I’d really like to stick around just a few more years too, a dozen sounds good.

Check the bores to see if any are shooters.

In the UK we have spoons and turnips for home defence. This problem is not an issue in the UK. Our betters have armed guard’s so they might have a issue

This is a very blanket statement and incorrect besides pistols.

NY gun laws are unconstitutional so legally you don't have to follow them.

Please don't ever advocate for someone to break the law.
