Firstly its an Stg44, secondly her father brought it back not her husband, thirdly it wasnt lovingly maintained in a collection it was just an old gun so poorly kept it was inoperable unsecured sitting in his closet, it looked like a rusty old piece of shit. Fourthly, the police recognised that it wasnt just some bangers .38 hipoint, took the gun for safe keeping and are helping the owner sell it legally as a collectable.
The woman did the right thing, an unsafely kept old gun is just that, historical provenance be damned.
All guns are unsafe until you have checked and cleared them. Im guessing the lady who didnt know what the hell she had didnt know how to release the magazine or check the chamber.

It’s either unsafe or it’s operable.
Also, bangers use 22’s because despite popular beliefs, they’re effective and quieter.
