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.
In the aviation world we say airworthy, unairworthy, and cannot possibly fly. There’s a difference between “the fuel gauge is broken” and “the left wing is missing.”

It’s either unsafe or it’s operable.
Also, bangers use 22’s because despite popular beliefs, they’re effective and quieter.
An operable firearm is inherently unsafe, they fling lead at high speeds, that’s kinda the whole point
I was moreso speaking in the context of it wearing down over time like that, but I didn’t really articulate that
