@quinn @mattblaze Mob hits wipe the gun down and drop it on the scene.
They know the truth, having the murder weapon with no other evidence gives the police very little, dropping the weapon at the scene gives them no direction in which to canvas.
If you move the weapon, it increases the likelihood that can place you between the murder scene when they follow up and canvas, and where the weapon was dropped. Cameras are everywhere, as are people who will talk.
And of course, holding the weapon is the worst.
Not that I've thought about this a lot.
