Hi guys,
Its been a while since Ive been here, and Im not positive this is the right section for this thread, but these are legal questions.
In 2014 for reasons unrelated to any firearms activities or cries, I granted SFPD access to my home, and entry to my gun safe, becasue all my firearms were and are CA legal, registered, and properly stored. Of course SFPD being who they are, they found a barrel shroud that looked enough to them like a silencer, and cleaned me out - including $3K in savings.
I have been working with Police Legal over the course of a year to find out how to reclaim my collection and get due process. She has recently stopped being helpful. This is as far as I got: I submitted all my Law Enforcement Gun Release Forms to the DOJ and they all came back. The handgun forms came back with certificates as "recorded in AFS". The "long gun" or rifle forms came back as "not rerecorded in AFS", but also came with certificates. I assume becasue long guns dont need to be registered in California.
While I worked to secure a court date on calendar and sort out the rifle thing, the certificates expired,and so I wasn't able to move forward in SF court, and now have to start over. Im going to resubmit all the forms to the DOJ, but this time I need to make sure that the rifles are "recorded" along with the handguns, and come back as certified CA legal and owned by me.
How do I do this?
What specific DOJ forms do I need to submit and whats the process?
The only forms I see that looks remotely close is BOF4542A: Firearm Ownership Record:
And BOF053: Automated Firearms System (AFS)
Request for Firearm Records:
Are either of these correct? Why wasn't the initial LEGR submission enough to show Im claiming / registering the rifles? I sent the serial number and descriptions in - it will be the same information.
Incidentally, all my original firearms registration paper work was also confiscated and is in SFPD property, and I also need a court order to get that - so dont think that will help me.
I would dearly appreciate your help in getting the log guns "records" so I can reclaim from anyone who is familiar with this process. If its of any consequence, this is the list of aforementioned rifles:
Tikka T3, custom .308 (un-fired)
Rodedale Tac Stock (Flat Earth)
Atlas Bipod
Leupold Mark 4 LR/T M1 6.5-19.5x50
ISSC MK22, Rimfire .22 rifle
-Cheap Scope (Acog I think)
-Barrel shroud
Ruger .22 Rimfire, something like an 8329
Sig 556 with Magpul stock and Luepold scope, lots of nice extras. Last of the Pentagon lights! Technically Center-fire so not sure how much luck I'll have with this one but if anyone knows what the current laws are since my purchase pre-dates recent updates, let me know.
A lot of Mags, a lot of bullets, and one SBR stock for my Beretta PX4 Storm.
If this is in the wrong forum, I apologize.
Thank you.
