I think your painting the best possible picture. I know that when it happened, the media I saw sure made AP sound like he had tried to hide the weapon, and took a while to be "forthcoming". I was, at the time, surprised charges had not been filed.

As to it not being his gun, if I hand you a gun - after having it go off in a crowded bar, and you don't give it to the cops immediately, I am pretty sure you are going to be looked at as an accessory after the fact, regardless of if it's registered or not. It's not quite the same thing as two guys at a hunting club saying, hey Joe can you take my rifle back to the club for for me.
