Arrested with gun.

Yeah, "negative ghostrider" is just a movie quote, I got that right away.
But it does make me wonder if someone enjoys watching shirtless all male volleyball. :P

I apologize if I offended you... I'm just a big Top Gun nut.... so I say "negative ghostrider" a lot... I meant no disrespect or condescension.

Appreciated... and it's a pretty good film even if Tom Cruise is in it.

Law enforcement requires a LEGR to be submitted because the State Lawmakers made it law. Before that law was passed, we would release property when proof of ownership or identity was provided showing it was your property. We used to be able to use a copy of the booking slip, which would list any personal property not booked as evidence.

Don't blame LE for this evil.

One point I don't think is/was clarified, you said you were arrested. Was your vehicle towed? I am not sure how the CHP got into your trunk otherwise unless you told them you had one in the trunk. As long as you weren't arrested on a DV warrant, or placed on a 5150 hold, or hooked up on a felony I don't see why you wouldn't be able to get your guns back with a LEGR (provided they are in law enforcement custody)

Absent any further information thats missing, that is.

Warrants with good I.D. present usually need to be pretty large to justify a hard booking rather than a cite out.

This is policy specific. As far as I can tell, there isn't a law or code that requires a cite and release on a warrant, mostly officer/deputy discretion.

The whole "proof of ownership" can't be legal, can it? I mean, LEAs will release non firearms back to individuals without original receipts. When it comes to firearms, how do people go about proving that their family heirlooms are really theirs? How about long guns? How about guns purchased from FFLs which have ceased to exist? Homebuilds? Guns purchased FTF prior to '91? etc? There is no legal requirement for a firearms owner to keep any proof of ownership, period. So, how can the state mandate that proof of ownership is required to return personal property?
