Bet the farm that every serious gun enthusiast has a fantasy of walking into a thrift store or garage sale and finding a box of shooting goodies marked $5. Couple of 1911s, most of an artillery Luger, a Pederson device. The best that has happened to me in the past few years is a pretty good WW2 issue shoulder holster for the S&W Victory (Model 10) from a DAV shop over on the Mississippi River. Three bucks including a second non-descript holster.
So imagine the joy if the Goodwill employees had just put this stuff out, tagged at 10 cents on the buck. Instead, the spoilsports called the law.
Alphecca suggests that "safe disposal" meant the cops stashed them away in their personal closets. Probably.

Most of those "guns" aren't real guns.
Hell, most of those "swords" weren't real swords.
True, but "enough" at a dime on the dollar.
The Goodwill over by me has some old antique pistol in the case. What's a "Walker Colt"?
DAT's the kind of dream I'm talking about.
True story: A man I know was talking with his father who remarked that he had just seen a pretty nice camera at a thrift shop and wondered, "Are Leicas any good?" A quick trip ensued; not quick enough.
