So, I heard some disturbing discussion on the AM talker here in NM this week. After the kid got arrested at school with his threat and AK we had a discussion about the whole process and were talking about what might happen if he either got released without charge, or was charged and ended up getting thrown in jail.
Anyhow, the comment kept comming up that the police here and in other cities normally NEVER give guns back to the rightful owner even if no charges are either brung up or if the person gets acquitted! So, what they were saying is that if the cops confiscate your weapons for any reason, they never give them back and they end up destroyed!
Have any of you guys had this happen or known anyone who has? Sound criminal to me on the LEOs part. I personally know a guy who said he had a gun confiscated because his exwife to be told the police he threatened her even though he didn't and when she eventually dropped the charges saying they were fraudulent and that she had made them up to "get back at him" the cops still after three years have NOT returned his weapon! He has never been arrested for anything else, and never convicted of any crime at all.
