My Dad died in the late 80s and my mother inherited his firearms. She wanted to be rid of them so I sold them at a local reputable gun store. When she died, we were cleaning out the house and lo and behold, we found yet another old 22 rimfire bolt action rifle. So far no problem. But my sister didn't want it and I live abroad (and no longer have no US address). So I gave it to my father in law to store until I could figure out what we should do with it, but we basically forgot about it. Well, he's on the far side of 90 and asked me if I could find somewhere else for it. Now I'm unsure what to do. I had a Firearms ID card decades ago, but I have no idea where it is. I would qualify for one (no legal issues) ... but I live abroad and have no US address. I hate to do it but the easiest is to surrender the thing during a US trip. How do I go about surrendering the rifle?
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

How would one go about buying a non-compliant barrel with the intention to modify it to be compliant? One that is threaded, for example, or that comes with a flash suppressor that could be removed. Are the options limited to local stock or already compliant parts online?

No offense, but it sounds like you're not mentally prepared for the carry life. Also that anti-gun rhetoric has seeped into your thinking. If 3 men jump you, just that can be a deadly situation for you. Having a firearm, even if it's taken, won't necessarily make it worse, but having one could actually help you. Same for purse carry. Yeah, maybe the firearm gets stolen with the bag, but not having one doesn't improve her situation. The key for both of the scenarios you mentioned it to have awareness of your surroundings and maybe some verbal skills, and maybe some empty handed skills. Also, don't go to places that you feel could be trouble unless you really have to. Be humble and avoid the fight unless the fight comes to you. (It also helps to have some of your own people with you, of course.) If you can carry, you should probably carry most of the time. You can't predict when you might need a firearm any more than you can predict when you'd need a seatbelt or someone to Heimlich a piece of food out of your airway. Not carrying should be the exception. Appendix carry might make it harder for someone to grab a pistol from your holster and for you to have access to it if you end up on the ground. Whether in the purse or in a holster, practice the draw. Practice just preparing to draw in a discreet manner. Mainly, practice awareness.

Uh oh. Someone DID bring a knife to a gunfight! Home intruder gets "cut to pieces" by a Florida man with a seven-inch garden knife after the intruder shot the man's wife in the face during an apparent robbery.
