    Negligent Discharge

    I have a friend who had a negligent discharge of a pistol inside an apartment. The local PD took possession of the weapon as evidence (he presumes). How long do you think it will take to get it back?

    Thank you

      Depends.

      Did he kill anyone? If he did it will take a while longer than 2 weeks. If not I would call and ask.

          If he's charged with a crime maybe never. If not and he has a clean record it will take a LEGR form from DOJ and the fee $$ ,and then he will get it only if the Firearm is in the AFS as belonging to him.
          The clock is ticking some PDs destroy after 45 days and the DOJ paperwork takes weeks...gotta get busy.

            How did the Police know about the ND.? Did the bullet penetrate any walls?

            Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).

                OP. Could you describe the ND in details. I would like to learn from this experience.

                    what is it that you feel "negligent" means, then?

                      There's no such thing as an "accidental discharge." On the other hand, if someone is negligent, that means they acted below a reasonable standard of care. In this case, that standard means not shooting a gun unless it is at the range or to stop a threat.

                            I imagine that he was cleaning it and it just went off by itself, like 99% of all ad/nds!!

                            Well I'm guessing nobody got hurt, so that's good. Since was in an apartment most likely he nd'ed and someone called on a gunshot, which is reasonable.

                            Remember to dial 1 before 911.

                            Forget about stopping power. If you can't hit it, you can't stop it.

                              Rule 1 Treat every weapon as if it were loaded.
                              Rule 2 Never let the muzzle cover anything your not willing to destroy.
                              Rule 3 Keep your finger off the trigger and out side of the trigger guard until you're to shoot.
                              Rule 4 Be sure of your target and what's in line with your target.
                              Ok which rules did the guy who had the ND violate????????????
