Recovered Gun, Hooray!

[The Rabbi]

As those who know me know, last March my shop had a break in and 9 handguns were stolen. Among them was a Rock Island 1911 in .38 Super Nickel btw.

So today I get a letter from Metro Property Div telling me one of my guns has been recovered and they're holding it.

Its a Taurus 817 7-shot .38 snub.

They discovered the gun on some guy who was charged with theft, resisting arrest, fleeing etc etc. I have no idea whether he actually stole the gun or just acquired it in some other fashion.

So trial is tomorrow. Whatever happens after that is anyone's guess. If he's a felon, they might put him up on federal charges. No telling when I'll actually get the gun back.

Glad you should be getting one gun back..........

Hope the authorities will bury this BG..

Congrats, Rabbi. Hope it doesn't take long, but afraid it will... hope they put the guy under the jail, but again, afraid he'll be back on the street before your property is returned to you.

Yup, it is likely that this scum bag will be walking the street long before metro ever gets around to getting you your merchandise back. That is if they don't "confiscate it" and have it melted down.

I agree..and I hope they don't try to confiscate the gun!! that would tic me off.

I hope they put the dirtbag under the jail..and whop him in the head with the shovel while they're at it.

Good luck on getting them all back. Hopefully, the first wont take long to get back home.

One more gun out of the hands of a criminal. This is good news!!!

I hope they don't sit on it forever, but as most have said, I fear they will. Congrats either way.

Bill, that's great news. Hope you get 'em all back...

Hope it dont take months to get it back like it usually does around my neck of the woods!
