Re: GOSA legal counsel and getting firearms back
The detective did mention after the fact that the ballistics department had run out of funding last year. So they cock it up, but we get the shaft.

Re: GOSA legal counsel and getting firearms back
As an update - the detective promised me about April to June. There are folks apparently waiting since 2019 for firearms to be returned from the ballistic testing department. I genuinely do believe the problem isn't on the station side, but ballistics being completely flunked out. Has anyone else had a similar experience in waiting on getting a weapon back?
My main concern is that the weapon hasn't been oiled since they took it i.e. two damn years. Or possibly they may have destroyed it. Either way, my patience is running out.

Re: GOSA legal counsel and getting firearms back
Place a drum of water outside at the police station. Fire 3 shots into it and the police retrieve the bullets, place them in a plastic bag, sealed container, whatever and correctly identify them. Send them to ballistics and they can then spend their time checking on them. Leaves you with the firearm. How uncomplicated is that. If you are guilty of misuse then they can come and collect you.
