Are the police legally allowed to give it to a museum, or do they have to destroy it?
They "agreed to allow the woman to sell it", as per the 2012 Daily Mail article screenshotted above.
As per policy it will be "destroyed" by a company owned by a family member of the chief. In unrelated news, that company also found a rare WWII rifle to sell.
Are you implying that laws matter to the police?
Currently they have to destroy it. The museums want this to change, for obvious reasons.
Depends on the gun buyback program. Most have a clause for rare and historic finds to be donated.
