Where to get rid of a weapon?

Question

i've recently found out that one of my friends has a machete under his mattress that he bought a few years ago, he wants to get rid of it but doesn't know where to.

so i'd like to know what to do, obviously i don't want him to get in trouble with it

Answer 1

It's just a machete.... use it to cut stuff.

Answer 2

Don't do anything besides call the police and give it to them if you sell it and someone it hurt or killed with it, that's your fault

Answer 3

Call the local police department they will be glad to be of assistance.

Answer 4

A machete is perfectly legal to own. The only reason that he could get into trouble with it, is if he is living in his parents home and they disapprove of it in their home. If he is living alone, don't you want him to own something to protect himself with in the event a intruder in the home?

If it must be disposed of, it can simply be thrown in the trash, taken to a pawn shop, given to a landscaper (it is a tool), or dropped off at a police station. Relax, it's not a big deal.

Answer 5

go to you local police department. make sure you tell them before you walk in holding it. you might get people freaked out. they usually wont ask any questions but if they do just say it was one of your friends and he left it when he stayed at your house. this happens all the time. my brother-in-law who works for the PD said one time a lady found a hand granade in her house that her ex husband braught home when he was in the military.  

Answer 6

A machete?

That's a common garden tool.

Of course anything in the hands of a nut is a weapon.

But I have two machete's in my tool shed, for dealing with banana plants that grow like weeds where I live.
