"...there is a little known law that has rarely been enforced that says that the family of a permitted gun owner who dies has 15 days to dispose of all firearms or turn them over to the police. If caught violating the law, which is a misdemeanor, the survivors in possession of the guns could face up to a year in jail and fines.
Daniel Derrenda, Buffalo Police Commissioner has just announced that his department is going to start enforcing this law and confiscating the guns that once belonged to legal permit holders who have died. "
