A Villager surrendered two firearms to law enforcement after his wife threw away the keys to the guns.
The 79-year-old Village of Mallory Square resident surrendered a .22-caliber Ruger 14 and a 9mm Browning on Sept. 5 at the Lady Lake Police Department. Both guns were in black cases and the Browning was in a holster.
The Illinois native told police he had the guns for many years but his wife threw away the keys to their locks. He said he no longer had any use for the guns.
A check with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office verified the guns had not been reported stolen.
