From what I have heard, it is an unwritten rule that the arresting officer gets first dibs on the weapons seized.
Well, they DO do things different in Iowa......hope they're paying for them.

See, that's logical, common sense your talking about right there. Tell me the last time you saw anyone in CA use those two things when it comes to firearms, or anything else in general.With the huge budget deficit in CA, the guns should be auctioned off, not destroyed.

Wonder how many of those firearms will end up in the cops personal home collections?

Might be interesting to see if any are able to be ID'd as "crime guns", or whether he might've sold/traded guns to criminals for use in crimes.
Fastbolt has already put this thought to rest (thank you).Wonder how many of those firearms will end up in the cops personal home collections?
Your retired LEO according to your sig.. How many Broomhandles, Lugers, P38's, P7's, Pythons, Mausers, Garands, etc. did you find at scenes?
Of course, there is no corruption in any government agency anymore. Not that there ever was.This isn't the 50's, or even the 60's, anymore. Nor is it a Hollywood movie.
Damn all pig headed politicians that can't see past the end of their noses and have no appreciation of history....

Hate to say it, but I hope that Webley Automatic gets "liberated" before the smelter. Just saying....No where I’ve worked in the last 28 years has that rule,written or unwritten.
In Ca it takes a separate Court order, made after adjudication, to remove a firearm from the control of the Court (Search Warrant) to the control of a Department. I know, I have done the process and it’s a PITA.
From one department to another takes not only a Court order if the gun is seized in a search, but executive level (with letterhead) approval to transfer a gun from one to another, and all of those are reported to Ca DOJ here through CLETS. I’ve done that process, too.
I guarantee none of those guns will ever be anything but rebar in a few years unless the gun is stolen and returned to its owner (After they get approval from DOJ after a background check to possess it), stolen from evidence by a crooked employee, or (with a Court order) transferred to the Sheriffs museum in Whittier for display.
Stay safe!
I don't know that its anti-LEO, but recognition that cops are human, fallible, and come in the same shades of grey as all other humans.I’m surprised there’s so much anti-law-enforcement sentiment here.So glad I didn’t get seriously hurt doing your bidding for you.
I am not anti law enforcement nor am I opposed to the state raising money from the sale of legally seized weapons. I also know there are a few corrupt individuals in every group. Law enforcement is no exception.I’m surprised there’s so much anti-law-enforcement sentiment here.So glad I didn’t get seriously hurt doing your bidding for you.
