This is separate but different, but at least educational for some. I had my home burglarized some number of months ago and lost a decent but fairly small collection of firearms. Local cops have recovered 6/18 guns, which is really good for it only being like 5 months out. Unfortunately, I’ve never been told cop shops hold guns for 180’days then destroy them as a function of law. Also, due to covid DOJ isn’t responding to LER’s (formally LEGRs) for like 6-12 months. So they’re warning me that although I’m a legit human I may lose my stuff.
Add this to the fact we own a lot of rentals that are full of covid squatters, and in the least my wife now finally thinks we should sell it all and move to another state.Buying a safe and sane firework is like paying a hooker for a hug. I do not see the appeal in it. -

But where will you move??? This disease called " left leaning liberalism " is infesting the WHOLE country. Those that used to be red states are turning blue. Texas and Arizona for example are already purple, soon to be blue.
Nevada is the same. Utah is following suite. Colorado is already blue. Kentucky and Tennessee are the same. And ALL these so called " free states " are enacting or in the process of enacting laws mimicking Commiefornia's anti2A amendment.
ALL the chest thumping, " Don't Californianize, my......state " are nothing but empty bluster. They can't/won't stop the infestations that is spreading, and they won't fight, just run away like a bunch of cowards.
Its a whole different America we live in.Last edited by DArBad; 12-25-2020, 6:36 AM.Comment

All you have to do is call them and tell them you want them back. The 180 day hold is for abandoned items. Not property where the owners are known.Poke'm with a stick!

Just be sure to have the fact you want them back in writing. Probably contact the property clerk in charge of evidence and sent them the information.Poke'm with a stick!

The two most common sources of authority for LE agencies to destroy firearms are Penal Code section 18000 (where the weapon has been used in a crime) and Penal Code section 34000 (where the weapon was admitted as a court exhibit and is no longer needed, or where the firearm has been unclaimed for 180 days).
The wording of section 34000 is a little awkward. Many LE agencies have read the section to mean that a firearm can be destroyed if a 180 day period has passed without the owner making a demand for the return of the firearm. That makes it a waiting game. As soon as a 180 day period has passed without a demand, the weapon can go to destruction. The section is also commonly read to the conclusion that if the weapon was admitted into court as evidence, it can be destroyed when no longer needed after 180 days in possession of the agency. (and without notice to the owner, and without a requirement to return it to the owner).
That makes it important not only to demand the return of the weapon in writing, but also to repeat that demand every 179 days.
Please keep in mind that the making of a release demand will not result in the release of the weapon if the agency believes that there is source of lawful standing to keep it, but it will prevent them from concluding that the weapon is abandoned within the meaning of PC 34000.
Also please note that an LEGR will be required prior to the actual release of the weapon. An LEGR is not required in order to demand the release of the weapon.If you build a man a fire, you'll keep him warm for the evening.

LAPD in particular will go behind an owner’s back and destroy guns. Fortunately, hey are being sued and the 9th Circuit overturned the the District Court’s dismissal of the suit.
