Finders, Keepers, what do you think, Freepers? Glock 45 cal.

Posted on 12/13/2014 8:16:20 AM PST by The_Media_never_lie

This morning my Daughter and her friend were jogging on the bridge today. They came across a 45 caliber Glock in the grass by the sidewalk. It appeared someone tried to toss the gun from a moving car into the marsh, but missed.

She saw a policeman writing a traffic ticket and told him what she saw. He asked her to wait while he finished his business. Then he came and interviewed the girls and called the investigators to treat the gun as a crime scene.

Is daughter entitlement to keep weapon if legal owner cannot be located? Is there any point calling to make this request of local police department? Will they tell her if the weapon was used in a crime?

Daddy sure could use a .45 Glock to go with his 9mm Glock for Christmes!

Don’t know if your area is like mine but the likelihood is you’ll never see the weapon again.

I wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole ... probably stolen and used in some kind of violent crime.

I would have picked it up, kept it, and not said anything to anyone about it.

It should be returned to the legal owner.

Don’t know what state you are in, but there is probably some law about improperly/unsafely disposing, or keeping a firearm, which means it is evidence of a crime. Even if they never find a suspect. Bottom line, no law abiding citizen throws a gun away like this. It is obviously contraband. But, it can’t hurt to ask, call the agency and ask.

Almost ZERO chance the cops would let her have the gun.

Who’s names would be on the From/To for the FFL transfer?

Is she 21?

Try to find .45AGP ammunition.

My guess that is the police trace the origin and subsequent disposition, they will find it was illegally obtained - whether through a straw purchase to a known felon or outright stolen.

In that case, Not entitled IMO

Yes, almost 30. I certainly would not want to have a weapon with an uncertain past. I have already been stopped once and was CCWing, and it was COMFORTING to know my weapon was clean, and of course my record, too.

She did the correct thing. Leave it at that.

Yes, assuming she hasn't lost her rights through being a convicted felon, insanity or imbecility.

Is there any point calling to make this request of local police department?

Yes certainly! Same odds as winning a dollar with a lottery ticket, but at no cost.

Will they tell her if the weapon was used in a crime?

Yes, they will, whether it was or not...

The bridge is right across from the inner city.

Will they tell us the results of the investigation, at least?

Yes, she did. It would have been harder for me to do that. I would have hesitated, been tempted, then done the same thing.

Some Glocks can shoot 45ACP as well.

Daddy??

How old is your daughter? If she's over 8, the gun is hers.

Besides. You can't handle the word Christmes. You shouldn't be handling a gun ;)

I cannot believe some perceived right to keep the gun is even a consideration under the circumstances described.
