when you get the gun back it will be tagged somehow either engraved or like on my dads ppk it has a metalic tag like cds come with they told my dad he could never remove the tag so it kinda sucks. his got tagged a few years ago so im not sure if thats how they still do it or not.
Glad you got it back. I'll bet it sucks to have to pay bond/legal fees on the charges. I've often wondered about rental vehicles and left-behind drugs stashed in the vehicle. Somewhere, there are crooks bummed out about leaving their coke in the ashtray and a vehicle maintenance hippie bummed he didn't find it.
What, how can they tell him to keep a tag on it? I would check into that sounds like bs to me. He owns it he can do as he likes.
Mine just had silver marker and the sheriff said to use nail polish remover to take it off. it worked like a charm.
I have never even considered a thing like this as being possible. What really sucks is that even with proof I had been in the vehicle .2 miles etc etc. They just wanted me to take a lesser charge...for my prescription antibiotics in my pocket with my name on them!
I have lost all faith in our legal system. They just want convictions more convictions to the DA I guess is like more sales to a car salesman. I really wasn't worried at first but after going to court a few times I was terrified!
It all worked out in the end but if I hadn't had the money to pay for a good lawyer I would have been screwed. I have never been in trouble before so it's not like they ran my name and saw I was some big time or even little time criminal. I work my ass off to take care of my kids and try to live in a neighborhood better than the one I grew up in.
So I went from terrified to pissed off now! I spent all my savings and then some to get out of jail hire a lawyer to stay out of jail. My kids Christmas suffered all from the over zealous cop and the conviction hungry DA. I mean we didn't starve and it all worked out but I took a real hit in the wallet.
What can I do be angry isn't helping.

It seems like you would have some way to go after the city/county for your lawyer/court fees and what not?
acctually i think thats exactly what it isYeah, I'm calling BS on that one too. Kind of like the mattress tags. Do not remove! WTF ever. Unless the tag was the serial number to replace the one ground off by the BG. Even then, ATF prescribes restamping not a "tag".
