Just wondering if anyone ever experienced forgetting a firearm in a rental vehicle and trying to recover it. I forgot my firearm in my rental vehicle, but remembered and called the rental company to recover it. The representative at the rental company originally told me no problem, I could come back and pick it up in the garage which is where I returned the vehicle. The rental company also had a booth in the garage so the firearm never had to enter the terminal or actual airport. Before I could return I received a phone call from a lady at the rental company telling me that the firearm was turned into the airport police as normal procedure and I would need to pick it up from them. I went to the airport police to retain my firearm and I was told that procedure was that they send it off to the State for analysis. The officer stated that they needed to verify it was not involved in any type of crime before it was returned. Does anyone know if there is an official procedure or law that states this? Your input is greatly appreciated.
