A co-worker of mine left 2 pistols for consignment at an local gun shop. The gun shop went out of business without notifying my co-work to pick up the pistols. Now, he can't locate the owner to retrieve his pistol. He filed an report with the police dept, but it seems like they are not going to do anything. What can my co-worker do now?? Thank you!

Which shop?
Was there any contact info on the door of the shop?
If they didn't call people or leave info on guns that were being DROS or on consignment then have him contact http://caag.state.ca.us/firearms/index.html and have him file a report.Last edited by Two Shots; 08-06-2009, 2:00 PM."I have a love interest in every one of my films - a gun."

A consignment gun that is not returned is NOT stolen.It is,in legal terms,loaned and not returned. If you find these people you may demand the return of your property,if it is not returned you may then consider it stolen.

Here is a link to what happened when a different FFL went out of business. ATF announced a contact number to file a claim to get their firearms back.
As I said in my earlier post, contact the local ATF office. They should have the same type of setup for the return of firearms that were at the shop. If not, ATF should be able to advise you on how to proceed.sigpicNRA LIFE MEMBERComment

Why are so many people who work in the gun industry such lowlifes?"We're surrounded.....that simplifies our problem."

A gun shop in Salinas went belly up about one year ago. The owner failed to notify the owners of approximately 100 consignment firearms in the store. He skipped town; but the police tracked him down up near Paradise. Busted...Comment

If anyone else is really curious about what Fred is talking about, here is the story:Originally posted by fredieusa
Also Fred, it kinda looks like that guy on THF might have been right about getting info to noobie members, I assume you were not in fact looking to get in touch with Seo to give him best wishes, but to try and get your gun

Consignment is a scam anyways. Come on, a 25% charge. Please, I'd rather throw it in the ocean.Comment
