Re: Gun was turned into the police, how can I get it back?
With rights come responsibilities. I hope I never get so comfortable and complacent that I forget I am carrying my firearm.

Re: Gun was turned into the police, how can I get it back?
I think it does show that someone exercised a complete lack of responsbility, he didnt leave his cell phone, he didnt loose his wallet, he didnt misplace his car keys...
He left a loaded gun behind that mangaed its way out of what should be a very secure location, unless you are carrying a 25acp pocket vest gun, how could you even not feel that?
You providing the example of leaving it on the dash of your car as not being irresponsbile...just makes me laugh out loud hard Or if you are saying thats irresponsible, how does that differ from the other scenerio?
Rights = responsibilities...some weigh more than others...id say carrying a firearm weighs a ton in terms of responsibilityLast edited by Svickstc; February 23rd, 2015 at 01:52 PM.

Re: Gun was turned into the police, how can I get it back?
do you still have the state police transfer paper when you bought the gun and had it transferred in your name? bring that and show them they cannot refuse you with that paper cuz it shows ownership.
i keep all my SP transfer papers in a lockbox so i can prove all the guns i have are mine.

Where did you purchase it from?
Another way to prove ownership is to go to where you purchased it from. Most dealers will gladly give you a photocopy of the disposition book for your purchase.

Re: Gun was turned into the police, how can I get it back?
The neural system of the body quickly learns to accept and ignore tactile signals and in fact will fill in the "feeling" for a time. That's how pick-pockets and magicians can remove the watch from your wrist and hand it back to you minutes later.
Something that works for a long time becomes reliable and trustworthy, like brakes on a sedan, until something breaks.
We learn not to keep feeling for and checking for the presence of a carried firearm, to avoid a "tell". In this case it worked against the carrier.
Avoiding placement of the gun into evidence is unlikely if the officer leaves the scene with the gun. It has to go into the evidence vault along with a property receipt.
The officer was likely truthful when he said he would try to resolve the matter and return the gun. He probably ran into a supervisor who said, "no way".
It was an unfortunate happening that as said could have turned out worse. I'd just buy another gun and do whatever it takes to try to get the seized gun returned, but be prepared for a wear-down process that at some point may become not worth it or impractical.
I am concerned that the incident may be viewed as evidence of irresponsibility and your LTCF being rescinded on that basis. That happening could be a tough situation, because it is within the realm of the sheriff's opinion and may be difficult to overturn.
The police department has already set the stage for your being held accountable for endangering others. They may wind up charging you along that theory, if for no other reason but to cover their seizing your property.
