What they all should have on thier sites

shaddownone · 02-01-2004, 08:40 PM

What all gun manufacturers should have on thier website is a running hot sheet. When a gun is stolen, you the owner, the police or insurance company would be able to list them from the reports they make. A reward system should be established for all tips leading to the recovered firearm and jailed crooks. - But somehow no one else feels this way...I couldn't even get a section started in this forum.

doubt if it would be worth it, alot of P.D.s don't make any effort to return stolen guns to their rightful owner, any they recover usually get destroyed.

Thanks, you just made my point, the officials won't but we should. I know I have been a victom, everyone said that's a shame but there's nothing we could do, I think the list would atleast give us peace of mind, someone someday might read it and turn in a crook or someone might spot it at a yard sale. It probiably sold in a bar for 50 bucks or so.

- it's been over 2 years and I still get hot about it,
I still think they should have taken my X-instead
- I would have paid for a removal and disposal fee. .

same thing around here its all one big p i s s i n g match.
heck half of them around here would take it off the list as stolen a register it on thier own permit since the insurance company all ready paid them for the stolen gun. seen it done boys i'm not makeing it up.

At least that's what the ATF says,

I'm in favor for the list, maybe the only one, Example, Miss Debbie at Springfield, you can call her up and she'll give you the skinney on what day the gun left the factory and what features were one it. That way you know if it really was a factory super match or not. Now what they should ad to thier sperad sheets is a field if it was contraband and what made it that way. Involved in a crime, stolen, ect...

In Lake County Indiana, there have been plenty of confirmed cases where a contraband gun was found in the posession of a police chief's, sheriff or highranking official's personal collection, or made it back on the street to do more evil deeds when they all should have been melted down at a Gary steel plant.

Makes you go hummm, now if you or I even knew of where a controband gun was, we would be an accessory and then prosecuited,,, makes you go hummm...

Don't get me wrong, I would like my meat maker back, but I was already told, if they ever recover it, it was stolen one time thus now it is considered contraband and will be destroyed wether the insurance company covered it or not.

I know it would be the end of the $50 870 sold over the bar with a hand shake, head knod and a wink - Let's get the illegal guns off the streets and the anti gunners off our backs
