I recall some recent incidents where various LEO types misplaced firearms. Wondering how those concluded?

But that’s the case with everything right? We never know that we have all info or it’s truthfully presented to us. I posted this so people could see what happened per the article and this could impact many on here. I think Erie county has a 10 day notification for lost or stolen guns.
Posting these types of stories is good and an important PSA.
We need more information posted
JFYI...

Now it’s 24 hours for NYS. Well I think my county always said 10 days, but it could have changed.
I’m sure it doesn’t apply in this situation, but cities and counties can make their own laws regarding firearms
Doesn’t say on their web site anymore.
NYS Penal Law supersedes all County and Local law..

I can honestly say that I don't take inventory of my firearm collection on a regular basis, I have guns stored in lots of different locations, and I very well could be missing several of them right now and have no idea how long they've been gone.

You always have 24 hours from discovery.
The or is whether it was lost or stolen.
No, no matter whether it was stolen from your fishing boat, or fell over the side, you have 24 hours from the time you found out about it.
Still all BS though.
Why doesn't this apply to knives, gasoline, and prescription drugs too ?
Why doesn't this apply to cops who lose their duty firearm in bathrooms?
