Finally! A crook with good taste in guns!

They should revoke his pistol permit!

If he didn't have a permit, he wouldn't have been able to steal that gun.

That's how it works, right?!?!?

Too bad the police don't do right and give the original owner back his property...

If the Liberty Police Department has the gun, they may. If the NYS Police has it, they will destroy it. The gun was stolen back in 2012 so the legitimate owner may not even be around here any longer.

If the owner can't be located and the NYSP have it, my guess is it might not be destroyed, and will end up in some NYSP officers collection.

In the early 90's a friend of mine moved here from Oklahoma. He owned a Colt Python and Browning Hi-Power. He turned them into the local state police to hold while he applied for his permit. 14 months later, permit in hand he went to collect his pistols. No pistols, no record of them ever being turned in and the trooper he said took them retired a month or so after the pistols were turned in.

So yes, that Smith stands a real good chance of disappearing, one way or another.

Good point. Can the original owner be held responsible for a law that did not exist at the time of the theft? Of course, it is New York State, so anything is possible.

No! Ex post factos
Safe storage is a stupid construct! My house, stay the fuck out!
