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.

Thank you. This is a hand gun, not a spit ball shooter.
An ambulance and the police should have been called immediately. Since when does a gun going off in a club and someone getting wounded not warrant a criminal investigation? Regardless if the gun was registered or not and the circumstances of this 'accidental shooting', the police should have been notified. The truth is the players were trying to cover it up to avoid trouble.
