Also, what's this license BS?
What, you have to have a license to have a gun in your house now?
Did you notice that part? There doesn't seem to be any doubt he can get his property back. I guess the only thing he lacks is a piece of paper. The papers are just the first step, or course.
Funny story. Last weekend at 10:39 PM, I heard 3 low caliber gunshots. It's just something you don't hear in the neighborhood I live in. My wife thought they were firecrackers. I ran downstairs and got my shotgun out. Seeing nothing unusual, I put the gun up and my wife called the cops. The officer I was talking to asked where I heard the shots. I explained that I heard them from the back of my house while I was getting my shotgun. My wife cringed when I said that. After hanging up, my wife said she'd wished I hadn't told the officer about my unlicensed shotgun. I had an extremely good laugh.
In some states, Yes.
