Not to mention possible legal ramifications... selling stolen goods... How is that not illegal? Wouldn't it be illegal for an individual? (I'm very ignorant of the law here.)

I've seen this process in person problem with the pawn law is it is not staffed well and those that do staff it are not the quickest lot out there. process works like this
1) guy walks into store and sells gun
2) pawn check ticket is filled out and signed by seller has make model cal and s/n
3) ticket is either gathered and an officer comes by once a month to pick them up or the dealer can chose to send them in on their dime.
dealer is required to hold the item 3 weeks from date of purchase to allow for processing. Now you do the math here folks. if the dealer does not send in the tickets and waits for the officer to pick them up any gun bought in the first week of the month is eligible to sell BEFORE THE TICKET IS PICKED UP

the system was a joke. Arlington has moved to a computer system to enter the info only problem is the is still slow. The item is able to be sold in 3 weeks the system still takes 4-6 to process. odds are the stolen item will be in private hands once the police figure out it's stolen. What sucks is usually the dealer will give some form or refund to the customer (money or store credit) but the dealer has no way to get their investment back. And before anyone says "serves em right for buying stolen merchandise" you tell me how to tell the difference just looking at it. you go to a gun show and buy a gun from the guy walking the rows how do you know it's not stolen. just cuz he's dressed like a banker doesn't mean it's not and just cuz he's dressed as a thug doesn't mean it is

Maybe out of your mouth. My last truck didn't have a/c. Lots of things flew out those windows

[whitetrash]

If you wouldn't mind, would you explain? What does how the case goes matter on you losing money on this?

Much like getting a weapon back until the case is closed your pretty much shit out of luck

[BradM]

So I just turned it in.

Turns out it was stolen from a property room by a cop!

Shit. I think I know exactly who it is. He was arrested not too long ago. December I believe.

[Forever_frost]

Because I didn't actually deal with the ranger working the case I couldn't get a ton of info. Reimbursement is pending on how the case goes.

Yeah, so that sucks. They can be quick about taking things, but forever to get it back to you.

[mikec]

Badass!

Never thought that would be the end result...

Cool man. Well good luck, hope you get your money back.

[whitetrash]
