Colorado Laws Concerning Found Firearms ?

Didn’t know about that, I’ll let him know to check there.

Cases solved, or suspect found?

Solved.

Tell me this individual did not take possession of the item in question?
If they did they just made things more complicated than need be.
I would think the wisest course of action would be to contact the municipality it was found in and do not offer that they found a firearm. Merely state you have "found" property. The responding officer should be able to guide the finder to the appropriate resource within the department for the possibility of ability to claim it.
I dont see it happening though honestly.

Solved.

Sorry I was making a joke about blaming the murder on the guy that turned it in just because that's fast and easy.

No worries. Some crimes are solved by some really, really long odds on finding weapons or other evidence.

I remember seeing a Forensic Files episode where a guy had fired a warning shot into the ground in the front yard of his home during an altercation. Many years later there was a murder and they were trying to figure out if he did it. They managed to find the bullet in the ground and it matched up to the murder bullet. Seemed like a 'needle in a haystack' moment.
