On a serious note, if you find a gun and you don't know how to handle it safely, don't even pick it up.

To take this a bit further: don’t touch it at all. You don’t know where that gun has been or what it’s done. If you touch it, you become a suspect in whatever crime was committed.

I don’t typically advocate for this, but in this case, call your local LEO and move away from the weapon. But make sure nobody else (kids especially) don’t come grabbing it up after you.

If necessary, shoot anyone trying to approach the gun. /s

That's silly, you shoot them BEFORE they approach the gun as a deterrent for maximum safety.

I'm learning so much about gun safety!

I learned this from nearly every episode of Perry Mason

Matlock for me.

It's wild to me that there's a place on earth with a chance of just randomly finding a gun lying around
