Fitting screen says my guns have "legal issues"
Does this mean somebody is suing my beam lasers for harassment?

No, it means that your ship has been used to commit a crime, and the whole ship, including every module of it, is considered to be "hot". As in "not clean with the law".

You should fly that ship as it is to nearest Interstellar Factors, and clear off your legal problems.

Don't store those modules - it will be much more expensive to clear them later.

Is there any easy way to find these Interstellar Factors? I don't see anything about fines or bounties at the station's authourity contact.

EDSM has an option for Interstellar Factors Contacts:

Just change your location to find one closest to you.

Use the map filters to find the closest "low security system". Almost all of them have Interestellar Factores in the "Contacts" menú of the stations.

But, if you have killed an innocent and you've won some notoriety, you can't "clean" your ship until the notoriety drops to 0. Notoriety drops 1 unit every 2 hours.

is it just your guns? If so then you have taken them off a ship that was wanted , and you will also need to (best to) put them back on and take that ship to interstellar factors.

Thanks for the info. Should be one a single jump away from me.
Can I clear ships that I'm not flying while I'm there? Upon looking a bit more I notice my old Cobra 3 seems to have fines or something on it as well.

Not sure how I'd have done this in the first time since I'm pretty careful about not shooting anyone not wanted, but as long as it's easy to clear up I guess it's not big deal.

No, you have to physically fly the "hot" ship to the Interstellar Factors.

At least it's close. Although it makes me picture some low level employee standing on my hull painting the words "Not Wanted" in giant letters for the security forces to see. lol.

No, it's just a time sink - it sunk him almost 3 years.

That's a bad idea actually... Notoriety doesn't go down when you're offline.
