Cop seize guns

Register to hide this ad
Probably because there is no other family members to claim them or take possession. They are in for safe keeping not for destruction.
I've been there when these type of caches have been found and trust me when I say, no department looks forward to confiscating this much property. The head aches and paperwork are monumental.
 
I don't know about other county's in NY, but you can have joint ownership here, thats why all my gun are on my permit and wifes permit, so if something should happen to me they won't get confiscated , I guess if we both go then they will be confiscated or held,I had my wife get her permit just because of this
 
Pacific Palisades is hardly an impoverished slum. Many of the guns were new in the box and/or had price tags still attached. Sounds like a hobbyist or collector to me.

If there is any truth in the old saying "he who dies with the most toys wins", we may have a winner here! Or maybe just a new goal for the rest of us?
 
There are not enough details in any of the initial news stories about this incident to make people start wondering about this and that.

Only two things are really certain. The guy was found dead in his car. He had a lot of guns. Anything else and wondering about why cops did stuff is just speculation right now.

True, but ain't speculating fun!
 
Considering where this is I wonder if it could also be a gun registration issue. Likely if handguns they would have to be registered there.
I live in Michigan where we still have handgun registration. I'm currently going through a divorce and we're selling or dividing the guns up between us. My wife has to go to the county jail and get permits to purchase all of the handguns she's taking. Not that I care she has to deal with it but had I died she'd have had to do the same thing I believe.
 
It all depends on the state, and possibly even the county. I do know in IL if the surviving spouse does not have a FOID (Firearm owners ID) they would not be able to keep possession of a deceased spouses firearms. I believe there is a 30 day window to transfer them to a legal recipient. So, if any of you are from IL make sure your spouse keeps their FOID current, (or dispose of all your guns before you expire).
 
Ain't a thing we are concerned with matters to the guy decomposing in the car. Sad really, destruction of "extended families" going along on schedule. Joe

If they found his decomposing body chances are he didn't have any close next of kin.

Not so. I'm the only one of my family that still lives in this town. My daughter lives in Atlanta. She had a half-sister living here, and said that if she did not hear from me for a week, she'd have the sister come by and check on me. But her sister moved up there with her, so it's just me here.

I just got off the phone with her. If I had a heart attack and croaked right here in the chair, no one would know until the neighbors wondered about the stink, in four or five days.

And there would be my decomposing body in the living room. That is, unless Worthless had gotten hungry.

That's what I'm saying. No close next of kin. Either not close in relation or distance. No one who would be concerned after 24hr or even before
 
Im in awe of his ammo stash. Hopefully it wasnt all two two cal. since they will probaby destroy it.

That's not as much as it sounds. It's not a little but the weight amount makes it sound like a armory. An avg crate of surplus ammo weights roughly 60lbs. So he had the equivalent of 66 crates of surplus ammo.
 
I spotted a lot of nice guns at the 0:50 mark in the video. Some of them S&W revolvers. I guess only in California... because down here your long lost distant cousin would have loaded their truck bed full and claimed you had raised him like he were your own son.
 
I suppose there are a lot of things....

I suppose there are a lot of things I haven't heard of, but I've never heard of anybody deciding what to do with spouses gun's except the wife or husband. I've got a lot of laws to check into should I want to move.

Same here. Cops or neighbors would break my door down, and there would be Annie and Beau, having a fine ol' time playing tug o' war with one of my legs or something.

I was apparently misinterpreting "close". I thought you meant "no CLOSE next of kin" like next of kin was a third cousin twice removed.
