... the burden is on the State to prove that the firearm is stolen.
What they said.hermannr said:If a weapon is not reported stolen, and in your posession, it must be assumed to be legally yours.
theaero said:he has been trying to retrieve the firearm, but they won't let him, because he cannot "prove" he is the owner.
So the State (and therefore the LEA/LEO) know that the gun was sold to your friend.sirpuma said:As a dealer there is a form that is filled out for the state for every handgun purchase.
...One copy I as the dealer keep.
One copy goes to the LEO for the background check.
One copy goes to the Department of Licensing where they record all the information.
They already have the proof they're requiring him to provide.
There has to be some way to do an open records request (ORR) to get that proof.
Or how about going back to the dealer to get a copy of the same form?
(Or just point out to a judge what I said in the last paragraph... they already have all the proof they need.)
There you go.911Grunt said:when I check someone for a concealed weapon permit it will give provide a return of all handguns purchased by that person (at a business).
Besides the name, address, etc. it also provides make, model, caliber, where it was purchased and date of sale.
They knew almost instantly that it does belong to your friend.
There's no reason for the PD to stall, other than simply that they don't like LACs.
