walk into a police station with a gun found on the step outside.
shot dead?
If it is being pointed at someone and looks like a real gun, should the Police take the chance? Even if they say it is a water pistol, they could be lying and would have to pull the trigger to prove it was a water pistol.

If you find a gun, I would have thought it best to simply report it, in order to preserve any forensic evidence etc. If someone did pick it up to take into the police, would they be waving it around or hand over in something like a plastic bag?

I am debating. debating is when one doesn't say what Sirius is thinking. such as bringing facts or points of view into it.
the only time I don't debate is when I think the same as you :)

I was going to post something similar to you but thought it best not to encourage Gary and his fantasy theories

What if it was a pellet gun. they wouldn't have time to pull the trigger to prove it.

it would be in their hand because it was like that when they picked it up.

Here is something you could have googled or read on the day of the actual shooting, somehow I do not thing that a bullet could have come from a pellet gun.

The officer who was shot at appears to have been saved by his police radio, after a bullet was found lodged in it. The officer was taken to hospital but later discharged.

People have been campaigning for a ban on replica guns ,air pistols ect for years for the very reasons we are bringing up .Police do not know what is a real gun and what is a replica and for your information air rifles and guns can kill ,even water pistols can be made to look like a real gun

I know. that's why I'm scared to have an opinion sometimes. but it does give a good idea of who's suitable for jury service I suppose :)

hopefully the police will be doing a bit of door to door knocking and checking for stolen electricals ,and if the thieves are as thick as they appear then they will be putting them on ebay making them easily checked
