Friend was preparing to move and was going through a few old chests. stumbled upon his grandpa's (what we believe to be a WW2 era) cooey shotgun. he's unknowingly had this in his possession since 1997. what should he do if he doesn't have a license?

Quickly give it to somebody with a license probably. Or tell the RCMP he found it but I would highly recommend NOT doing that
