Yes

To elaborate. If it's a clear cut case of self defense, there will be no charges and you get it back. If there is some question, there may be a trial. If acquitted you get it back. If found guilty, no.

>>32903719
Assuming it was a lawful shooting, yes.

Or at least that's the theory. I've heard horror stories about peoples expensive guns getting "lost" in the police lockup. I don't think that's very common though. When I was involved in a shooting they just took my gun, ran its S/N against the registry to make sure it wasn't stolen, and let me be on my way.

you know you can't just say that and not elaborate
storytiem now

>>32903719
depends on the state, circumstances of the shooting and what youre charged with and found guilty/not guilty off. Generally you will, but it could take a long time (years).
there is a colt trooper in my dep.'s evidence locker from the 90s

>>32903719
I'm more interested in if they clean them and store them properly.
A court case can, and probably will take months at the least, I want to know if they at least run a bore brush through it and wrap it in a rag before chucking it in some damp evidence locker.

>>32903839
jesus christ thats nice

>>32906531
They can't clean them. They're evidence.

To prevent this you can request a receipt at the time of impoundment. No, they do not maintain your gun, a.k.a. evidence, or "clean it" for you. If it has DNA on it, it's sitting in a ziplock bag.

New Orleans police are notorious for confiscating thousands of legal weapons at gun point and throwing them all in an unventilated warehouse to rust. Most of them are still there and that was 2004.

>Do you get your gun back?
Sometimes. Plenty of people had to fight to get their gun back after being cleared. Plenty more never get it back. Depends how shitty the local police are

>do they properly store it
Usually not. Their are pictures online of people getting their gun back with a fucking evidence number electro-penned into the receiver.

How expensive is your lawyer?

>>32903719
Cmon nerd, if for some reason you have to use your gun in a self defense scenerio, you ask for a receipt .
Ither it be the medic that takes you gun from your emotional stress after you get into the bambulance.
Or.
The cop on the scene..

they will know exactly what you are talking about and wont ask questions.
