Is it a violation to have an AR15 which belongs to a LEO ?

[bobloveruger]

Hi there,

This is my friend's story. He rented a house from a LEO. The landlord does not live in that house, and his address registration is another place. My friend found that there is a LEO's AR15 in the basement of the house. Its trigger is locked, but it is not kept in a Gun Safe. My friend is not a LEO and we all know he can not possess any Assault Weapon and Mag with more than 10-round.

My question is: Is this case a violation of the gun law for my friends? The AR15 is not his, but is in his place of residence; the trigger is locked, but can be touched anytime. Is it a violation for the LEO for not keeping his firearm with him?

What should my friend do for this situation to protect himself? Any suggestion is welcome.

Thank you in advance.

Bob

Reach out to the LEO. Unless he has passed, it will probably be an oh shit moment for him. He will get it out of there.

None of us are lawyers. I'd contact a lawyer to at least consult with, so you don't say anything legally stupid. They may advise you to file a report with LEO so you have formal documentation, but I don't know what the correct answer is here.

Thank you tecjmocalgadget,

The LEO knows that AR15 is in the basement of the house. Do you think my friend has to ask him to remove it?

Yes, we want to talk with a lawyer if the LEO does not want to remove it from the house.

He can go that route or turn it in at the next gun buy back.

I personally would not leave a gun in a place that was not inhabited by me. Then again I don’t trust a lot of people.

Thank you Twogunwilly.

I got a better idea seeing how you must have misunderstood SMFH. How about you don't play with the alleged AR seeing how it's not yours & maybe minding your own business instead of starting a thread in which you added 4 tags for some reason ( first time I've seen that) You writing an article or book or new gun law?

I think we're being trolled be some reporter or just a douche, not sure.

I think 0.0% chance anyone is leaving their AR somewhere they don't live with people they don't know.

Something is seriously off with this thread.

Is this another cop bashing thread?

Thank you Drinkthekoolaid. Yes, I agree with you. We know the best solution is to remove it from the house. But this case is, the LEO is the owner of the house. He can keep his materials there. The only thing I want to know is: If he get a gun safe and keep the AR15 in it, and keep the key only himself, is it good for my friend not getting trouble with the AR15.

I’m sorry , I find this excruciatingly hard to believe. Just saying.

Thank you.
I put 4 tags for searching keywords. I want to hear more ideas. Who read this, who write comments, I don't know, maybe State Police. I just want to help my friend not getting trouble.

Thank you. Do you mean it is a violation for the LEO not keeping his firearm with him? I'm looking for the exactly sentence to show that to the LEO to ask him remove it.

The LEO should already know that sentence.
