Ooops.
I think they should have published the serial numbers.
Imagine if you'd bought an AR from your cop neighbor and are now in possession of what's been reported as stolen goods. Wouldn't you want to know? Wouldn't you want to do the right thing and return it to its rightful owner and assist honest law enforcement in punishing the thief?
Because I am dead certain that Art won't hesitate to prosecute you for having one of his department's missing guns despite you buying it in good faith from the person who stole it.
The most likely explanation is probably someone simply forgetting to sign the rifles out.
But... The posting of this memo, to me, seems as if quieter, "if you've got a department rifle, make sure it's signed out," efforts have met with no response with regards to the missing guns.
Smells to me like the problem is worse than they are admitting if they are going to this level of publicity...
ReplyDeleteI wonder if any are SBRs, full auto, or equipped with silencers?
