Hi My friend was burglarized in San Jose and the police recovered his firearms. What will he need to do to get his firearms back from the police Department. Who does he need to talk to and what will he need. Any help would be appreciated.
Please pm with info. Or you can post it as well as it may help other people in the futer I could not find info with the search option on this subject.

He will need to talk with the detective handling the case where they were recovered. By law, the police can not release his guns to him without him obtaining a "LEGR" (Law Enforcement Gun Release) from the Department of Justice.

I'm thinking the best place to start would be the police [department] that have his guns?

be sure he provides proof of ownership of the firearms..serial numbers and date of purchase...

best to get a firearms specializing attorney.

even under the best of legal conditions he WILL have a hard time retrieving firearms.

i had a friend that went thru the same situation and finally abandoned trying to get back his Beretta .22, auto-loader pistol as the attorney fees were more than a new pistol. (the police had recovered it after it was stolen from him, too.)

You DO NOT need a "gun attorney." Get a LEGR form filled out with DOJ, you will need a livescan most likely, pay your state fees, get your guns.
