In the mid seventies my home was broken in to and my guns were stolen. A few weeks later the police asked me to come view their evidence room to see if my guns were there. They were not, but I observed something profound. There was not even ONE quality firearm in that locker. Not even one. I later told a cop friend about the experience and he told me something that I had already suspected. All good guns go home with the cops. He admitted that that was standard procedure.

I can't speak for every agency, but I know that we don't do that. Why would I want to risk a case against some dirt bag, just for a free gun? People will say, wait until after the case is over......Ever heard of appeal? It's just not worth it. Not to mention the paperwork that is involved these days. With computers, they can tell you exactly where certain items are stored in evidence, and if a gun is missing, its going to be someone's ass.

I'll tell you how my Glock 36 ended up in the Memphis Police Department evidence room. I was in a motorcycle wreck and they illegally confiscated it despite the fact that I hold a handgun carry permit. You wouldn't believe the hoops I had to jump through to get it back. In fact, I'm confident that many people simply abandon their firearms with no hope of ever retrieving them in such a situation. Later, the person who was in charge of the evidence room was convicted of all manner of crimes, including stealing and re-selling cocaine and other drugs that had been confiscated and placed there for safekeeping, as well as stealing wads and wads of cash. So much cash was recovered from his house that it was ruined from mold growing on it.

I had a gun that ended up in an evidence locker. It was stolen from my home, and later recovered by the local police investigators. Rossi Ranch Hand .45 Colt. The investigator got a kick out of it because he'd never seen one around here before. The investigator mentioned that the criminal must have been a world class idiot, because a gun like that was too unique to sell or even move easily in our area without drawing attention.

[@titsandwich1842]

Seriously. I had a ranch hand and the day I bought it and carried it out to my car, people were following me home asking to shoot it.

I have that exact gun lots of fun ask Steve McQueen. 45 long colt is actually available unlike most other rounds so it’s still something that I can afford to shoot.

[@Roamingeast]

so basically, cheap guns tend to be used in crimes, because they are cheap and the people who buy them dont have the money to aquire better arms. The joke being that if a guy had cash to throw down on an HK he probably isnt in the economic situation that would necessitate a life of crime

[@DisgruntledFun]

Not really that much of a joke and more of a fact lol yes people with money still commit crimes but it's usually an unarmed white collar crime

[@Seth9809]

+rob clay According to studies by the NIJ and FBI, most serious criminals use stolen weapons that medium or upper medium quality. Mainly because the gang steals enough good guns that they all have plenty of good choices.

[@N75911_]

Part of me feels that if there were better restrictions on handguns themselves, murder would go down in some way, 90% of firearm homicides are caused by handguns. It's funny too, because the media isn't targeting the handguns, they're going for the rifles... The weapons that cause less than 1% of murders in the US... What seems more logical would be restricting handguns, and allowing rifles of any type... Allow open carry for PDW's and SBR's, or even long guns. The Second Amendment is put in place to deter tyranny and threats foreign and domestic, and battle rifles seem like the most logical weapon for anything like that. Not really my opinion or theory, just kind of a speculation, I'm just saying IF there were some kind of gun control, big scary rifles aren't the problem.

[@redbearded122]

+N75911 Brother, restrictions on handguns arent going to solve the problem. You have to remember that by definition, Criminals dont obey the law, so if someone is willing to use a gun to murder someone, they wont care about "restrictions" the government has. Not to mention restricting the law abiding citizens access to guns has no effect on whether criminals have access to guns. They dont shop at the same gun stores as the rest of us.

We once recovered an OLD Smith and Wesson 38 that had been used by an LAPD officer to participate in the Olympics in the 30's. We had another guy cut down a Remington 1100, thereby disabling its semi-auto capability. He robbed a convenience store with it and tried to shoot the officer that responded, but forgot to take the safety off. My favorite though was the 17 year old that tried to rob a convenience store and get rid of the clerk as a witness. The clerk gave him the money and the kid fired directly at the clerk, who was standing behind a display of cigarettes. The kid was using a 22 short and the round only made it through about 7 packs iirc, causing the clerk to think he was using blanks. The clerk chased the kid down the street with the kid firing back at him, all the while with the clerk thinking the gun wasn't real. Luckily the kid missed.

I went to a police auction in missouri and they were selling sawed off shotguns. some of them were cut off to only 10 inch barrels and chopped of stocks. they didn't seem to care at all they were illegal to own. then you had to have the gun sent to the local FFL at the pawnshop to pick up the gun and he was charging $75 to call your gun in and fill out the paperwork. they had a ton of broken little darringer pistols that were froze up or missing parts. they were selling for $20-30$ then you had to turn around and spend $75'to pick it up. they neglected to tell anyone about the $75 transfer fee so they could make more money off of the guns.

The most interesting piece I ever saw was at the Hill County (Tx) jail. There, I saw an M3 grease gun that some criminal degenerate had destroyed. According to the sheriff, the criminal knew the cops were coming for him, so he took an oxy/accy torch, and melted the bolt-face on this weapon. Such a waste :(

As a young black man, I was easily conned into the Democratic / "liberal" belief system by social pressure and this feeling of "racial duty" that I had to be a Democrat, as a proud "brutha", and fight against the rich, white Republicans who were out to get us... Now, I am a _Libertarian_ (not to be confused with "American liberalism", which is quite a misnomer, IMO) ... as I got older and wiser, I realized the Democrats are just as big of idiots as the Republicans ... and they're arguably just two rich-boy cliques of the same regime with the same agendas and self-serving motives. I once worshipped Obama as my "negro savior" and thought he was gonna really change things for us black folk ... then I realized that only _black people_ can change things for black people! Seems obvious, but they pump this shit into our heads as black children from pre-school to the end of high school (and often in college too). Also, there are a lot of wealthy, respectable black people _already out there_ because they did something with their lives. I definitely see/know that law enforcement, the prison industrial complex, War on Drugs, etc is all totally racist, but those are things Democrats and Republicans BOTH created and continue to support. And I also realized that the "gun control" movement/lobby is just a tool to increase government's size and power, speed up the process of Constitutional deterioration/destruction and further enslave the so-called citizens (now "subjects" seems more accurate) and disarm/weaken the people and their ability to resist and/or rebel against authoritarian, totalitarian autocratic regimes ...

***** Just checking. Sorry

[@OldManMontgomery]

Probably. All evidence goes to the evidence locker. If a gun is stolen, it is part of the evidence. If a gun is the instrumentality of a crime (used to commit the crime) it is evidence. if a gun is found loose with no crime to accompany, usually the police will take it to keep it safe. Usually they will test the arm to see if it matches any arms - fired bullets - used in crimes; or to see if the gun were stolen.

[@MrRolyat98]

Yes. Until the trial and when ballistic tests are done. When the trial is over usually the gun (ie the evidence) can be disposed of. It’s either returned to the owner, destroyed, or sold back to a firearms dealer (if its in good shape).

[@OldManMontgomery]

The 'return' part depends on local politics. An anti-gun city will not probably return anything.

[@biggerbehindthetrigger2814]

I worked at a gun shop in Aurora CO. We were the importer for Ranato Gammba shotguns. They run from $3,000 to $250,000. We had one from Atlanta GA. I think com in for rebuild. It was stolen and who ever took it cut the stock off and chopped the barrel down to 5 inches. It was a side lock so it was over $20,000 to start. We sent it back to Italy to be rebarreled and restocked. The good thing was we still had the measurements for the stock so we could refit it to the owners body. When it came in we all wanted to throw up. The engraving was still not bad but the serial number was filed off. The only way they got it was with acid to bring it back out enough to track it. I was the one that test fired all the firearms that came from our gunsmith shop that wasn't on location it was a mile away from the shop. When the gunsmiths did a wonderful job restoring it. The gunsmith in Italy that engraved it sent a letter with it saying he had to remove the engraving and try to re engrave it but it was a total loss so they refit the side locks in a new receiver. He wasn't going to let a piece of artwork go out the door with shotty artwork. We called the owner and asked him what he wanted engraved on it. He had different types of birds that he used it for and we wanted the date it was created and the date that it was rebuilt on the trigger guard. The engraver did such a great job on it that it was published in a book in Italy with the story. I wish I could remember the books name. It was in 2001 and my memory isn't that good any more. When it came back I had the luxury of shooting it for the customer who flew back to Denver for the finnal fitting and we had it the same as it was when he first had it fitted. He was so happy to have his side by side back he bought us all dinner at a really nice restaurant that night. Of coarse he took us all to the sporting clays range to have a good day too. I was one of the lucky 5 that went. We had about 25 employee's. That was the best time I have ever had on the coarse. I never liked the suicide firearms that came in. It was usually the family that would bring them in. We have a mother and father bring in a S&W highway patrolman in that was covered in blood and grey matter and I took it out of the envelope and didn't realize that it was blood untill I saw the rings where the rest of the ammunition was at and the blood and pieces were. I went into the workshop to clean my hands and when I came out the people were leaving with the gun. One of the employees sad they didn't want it. It wasn't his job to do that so I brought them back in and told them that it was worth some good money. The mother said I don't want it I will take whatever you will give me for it. They went on a different shop and they were only going to give them $75.00 for it. I offered them $250 for it because it was going to have to be completely disassembled and cleaned. They agreed to sell it to us and the owner fired the guy that said they didn't want it. I ended up buying it for the $250.00 because I did the cleaning and the owner was happy with me. The lady came back with a big box full of firearms because she couldn't look at them. She came back and wanted to speak to me and the owner let me buy all the firearms but we couldn't buy the ammunition so she gave it to us ie me. It was full of older ammunition and I pulled them and reloaded them. I have many more stories but it would get more boring. Happy shooting.

He was carrying what at that time was worth $600-800 gun, arrested with about $20 worth of crack 2 - in the bottom of the box of semi auto junk pistols from a department in GA was an Iver Johnson 30 carbine pistol version of the M-1 carbine. this had the neat cutts-like compensator on it. I was digging thru a box we bought from them based on weight, found it while still there. We (myself and some of the cops) took it to the local range their police department used...and when I pulled the trigger we found out it was rigged to be full auto! Cops were standing there so we all took a turn shooting 3-5 rounds, then clearing the jam, and then I handed it back to the department 3- In the locker of my hometown department in SC was a gun no-one could figure out, a bolt-gun. Old, no scope mount, stripper clip slot. Also had receiver sights & a sporter stock. Criminal had no ammo so was going into stores and waving it at people. I bought that one. It was a Savage Mod 20 in 250-3000 caliber, and in really good shape, considering how our rocket-surgeon used it. Only a few thousand made! 4-Guy in my hometown arrested for domestic, was waving a "308 caliber home-made pump rifle" He had taken a Swiss 1911 rifle, and after cutting the barrel down with a hacksaw and filing it, he cut the stock down, very near the magazine. In front of that, he had a bar running from the front of the stock out to the new muzzle, and had braised a bracket to it. The bar had a tube that mostly surrounded it, with another thicker tube attached to that for the fore end. Add to this a crudely braised bar to the straight pull bolt handle, and cut off the ring at the back of the bolt (AKA: the SAFETY). He had also braised a steel bar to the rear sight housing for a makeshift scope mount. Oh..HE WAS SHOOTING 308 FACTORY AMMO IN IT! The cops said they had actually SHOT it and the cases bulged and split, but the thing worked. The guy claimed to have shot several large deer with it, and the cops noted he had mounts on the wall.... 5-Last one. My dad wanted a single shot shotgun to keep around for security, as he was getting feeble (Korean War Vet). At our local department, in a load of guns, there was one in PERFECT condition, an H&R in 20 gauge, not cut/as new, complete with the box! I took it and after logging it into the store, I took it home to dad. He noticed someone had used a marker-pen & marked the buttstock "SUICIDE" & the date. I said "oops, I missed that." Dad hit the button...and a fired shell popped out! A check of newspaper records on the butt stock's date revealed dad & I had known the guy! (small town) Dad kept it as-is, but never shot it, as per him, "it definitely worked once." Those are the "Top 5" I can name off the top of my head. i did this for about 4 years, but then Al Gore Invented the internet (ahem), and Gunbroker ended our little side business we had of used guns at crazy-low prices IF Y'ALL WANT A STORY OR TWO MORE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!!

@@jigginwithg5595 Had a lady come into the store and spin a long tale about needing a gun for home defense She bought a H&R 32 revolver (we sold them used for $71 with a box of ammo) had to show her how to load it, She left. Turns out she was supposed to be at work, but instead went home to catch her BF with his his girlfirend. She burst into the bedroom screaming and emptied the gun...without hitting either of them. The other girl began fighting with her while the BF dove out the window. this was a bad idea, because they were on the second floor! He did more damage from the fall than the gun would have, go figure

How many shot out eyez

[@ScoutSniper3124]

Two schools of thought... A) Criminals tend to go with the cheapest piece of shit firearm they can get their hands on. B) Any Decent gun finds its way OUT of the Evidence Locker and into the collection of the Officers.
