At one point the Columbus Police Department had a BAR they had picked up of a motorcycle gang. At least that was their story, I never understood what a motorcycle gang would want with a BAR though. I used to do volunteer work at the gun shop at Ohio Historical Society. More than once we had someone come in and want to donate their WW2 bring back. Trouble was the Historical Society had way more of that stuff than they could use, there was no legal way to dispose of it once accepted, and no way for someone to make an anonymous donation of a firearm.

We had one volunteer, whose name I do not recall, bring in his Vietnam souvenir. An AK47. As that was the first I'd actually handled I found it quite interesting. That would have been around 1978 and even SKS's were not common then.
