Northampton County Alert.
It has been asked by some on Northampton County Council what to do with weapons seized by the county. My understanding some were evidence in criminal cases, but many are the results of weapons not retrieved after a PFA seizure.
No results have come so far, but I have to say, if you want to see criminals punished, and blame not placed on inanimate objects, keep your eyes and ears open to this issue.

Re: Northampton County Alert.
Here's a no-brainer: give back firearms, which the state no longer (if it ever did) had any lawful right to, to their lawful possessors, or owners.
If the property is unclaimed then I imagine there's something somewhere that demands it go into the state's pool of unclaimed property, where it sits for some specified time, or forever, to be claimed.
The sheriff or 'county council' doesn't get to do what he or they want with the property, that's obnoxious, and seemingly conversion.

Re: Northampton County Alert.
I hate it when firearms are destroyed just because they were used in a crime. It is just so wasteful. What those firearms need is a loving home.

Re: Northampton County Alert.
PFA's are abused constantly and are thrown out even more often. Northampton, or any gov't agency should not be permitted to keep them.
Dredly's solution: Auction the gun's off just like they do with cars, a fee (say 25%) of the sell price goes to the county to cover storage costs, admin fees... etc, the rest goes back to the original owner.
This gives dealers the ability to get used stock at a good price and gun owners the ability to pick up guns at a great price.
Now the community gets more money as does the person who had their guns stolen.The first vehicles normally on the scene of a crime are ambulances and police cruisers. If you are armed you have a chance to decide who gets transported in which vehicle, if you are not armed then that decision is made for you.
Be prepared, because someone else already is and no one knows their intent except them.
