I always check the trunk of my rental cars when i pick them up and drop them off. SMHhttps://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/rental-car-returned-with-guns-drugs-ski-masks-in-trunk/867920467

Absolutely.  This happened in Parsippany over the summer.  It's not just guns.  Rentals are often used for drugs.  Although it wasn't a rental, I personally know of a situation where the cop saw just one seed on the seat and it gave him cause.  I check the whole thing out.  Under seats, glove box, trunk everywhere.  Not to mention (if you know what to look for) bed bugs too.

I always look over the entire car before driving away in it. Document every minor scratch or dent. CYA

Question

What if it was YOU who discovered the stuff in the trunk and what if the firearms were two of your dream guns?  Say, a Wilson Combat 1911 and a Desert Eagle in 50AE.

@Ray Ray given the fact we're NJ gun owners and are by legislative fiat already criminals, I'd keep 'em!

Waiting for the self-righteous and legal-beavers here to say:

"That's Illegal!"

"What if those guns where stolen from you!"

"Think of the children!"

You don't deserve them if you forget them in a rental. The kids will be safe, because I'll keep em safe... Ha.

My gripe is the legality.... I'd Be way to scared to take them anywhere, which makes owning them pointless.

That's a really good question.  There are laws about abandoned property.  I wonder if you turned it in, tried to contact the previous renters if you could ever keep the firearm.

If we can legally own it, nobody claims it, and it was not used in a crime, why not?

It should be noted that if the firearms in question are a hi-point and a kel-tec, they get turned in with everything else.

I ain't turning in the guns.  I can trade 'em on the streets for some untraceable gats!

This would be more accurate if you said Charter Arms.

The cynic in me says that no one would leave behind 2 guns like this unless:

They were just used in a murder and purposely left behind.

I was being set-up by the man

True, and it should be noted that I have never owned a Hi-Point so I actually might keep that one too.  

This is why you don't do drugs that you peddle. lol.  

They did say one of the guns was an airsoft gun with a fake can. lol  Cant be too high up the chain.

As one who (furtively) admits to owning a couple, they are worth having. Especially as a budget accessory. Everyone(mostly) has a firearm that's their least favorite, these can elevate the rankings of the others in a collection! 

For all those who lost their  good  firearms in a horrible boating accident, these do make good anchors.

My issue is value.  I would rather spend an extra 100 bucks on a police or European trade-in.  They have horrible triggers, crappy sights, bad ergonomics, no rail, impossible to disassemble, junky magazines and funky controls.

It's a range gun to show the boys how thugs do it.

Boy, you really ought not to hold back, it'll give you an ulcer. 

Yes, triggers are not good, but they can be improved with little effort.

Sights? Okay, but lots of GOOD guns have bad sights. 

Ergonomics, well aside from being heavy (anchor, remember?) it actually feels pretty good in the hand. 

Lots have no rail, too bad on all of them for that. Guess that's part of the cost saving in manufacturing.

Yup, disassembly is a PIA, needing to remove a danged roll pin. But it hardly ever really needs it.

I don't have a problem with the mags I have for either the C9 or the carbine, so,,,,,,,,

Funky controls? Ummm, ya got me there, I don't quite know what you mean.

In conclusion,,,,,,,,,,,jeeze louise, maybe I oughta get rid of it, it DOES suck, dont it?

(truth be told, I only bought the C9 so I could have something to experiment on modifying without messing up one of my good guns. I got it used for $85 including 2 mags, and it seemed as if it had only been thru a couple of mags worth of shots)

I like my S&W and Walther stuff a lot more.

I wouldn’t keep them. Knowing my luck they just shot 30 orphans and 15 nuns with them and I’d get pulled over with them in my possession

What about 15 orphans and 30 nuns?

How the heck are ya gonna carry 30 orphan and 15 nuns in a car? Or are you talking Lilliputians? 

 

Well that’s why I switched the quantities. I figured orphans are smaller.
