Maybe not.
If someone is injured/killed, the police will want to know where the gun came from. If Shirley was the shooter, she will say she stole the gun from Sharon's overnight bag, and fired it deliberately,
Sharon would be questioned, and say she found the gun, in a gift bag, on Phil Mitchell's kitchen table. Remember - Sharon does not know it was Ronnie's.
Phil will be called in and questioned. Will he drop Ronnie in it by telling the police the gun was hers, or claim the gun was his own rather than see her back in jail, especially as she is pregnant?
If he does this to protect Ronnie, what if the gun has previously been used in other crimes (Ronnie sourced it illegally) and it gives Marsden the chance she has been waiting for? Phil could end up implicated in a murder he didn't commit just by claiming ownership of the gun.
