Guns seized from Indy teen-agers

[n9iui]

Channel 13 News just showed some weapons seized from area teenagers. One of them was a Mosin Nagant M44! From what I could see it looked to be in pretty good condition, unlike one revolver that looked like it had been dragged behind a truck. P1sses me off because I have been wanting an M38 or M44 and here is an old warrior that is doomed because of some gang-banger.

Just ain't right.

I understand , I'm still awaiting the phone call saying they recovered my Glock that was stolen out of my truck several years ago , but I won't hold my breath

Same here. The number for my G22 stolen was FNG197. Check your safes! You better not have it. But if you do....Ill buy it from you.

This is why I generally only leave my gun in my truck when I walk into my office, we have a private, gated parking lot that is under video surveillance. Last time I went to the courthouse I used one of the slide/magazine locks (similar to the one below) to chain it the support frame under my seat.

You know..Normally it would never be left in my car, but since I was at the FOP range for training for about 2 hours at the time it happened years ago, I thought it was safe....They took my entire duty bag. Somewhere out there someone has everything they need to look like a cop minus the badge. I can only hope Karma got back at them and they ended up trying to scoop their entrails off the pavement somewhere. Have to give them credit though as I would find it pretty hard to want to steal out of a squad car inbetween several other squad cars.

Had to be another LEO. Nobody else would have big ones to ransack a squad car like that. You gotta watch those guys!

I have milled that over more than a few times in my head.

And just how do you know it was a gang banger and not a jerk cop trying to earn "brownie" points for the day?

He said it was an FOP range. Are those only for LEOs?

We don't get brownie points for seizing firearms, we get commission and/or door prizes.

And they are some pretty sweet door prizes! I had to run out & plant a couple more Mosins on some kids on their way to church just so I could get my name in the hat a couple more times.

Cops...I've known a few of them. Some of them are hard-working, honest men / women who do a difficult job and do it well!!! Others...should have found a different profession years ago!

Ah man I feel for you but marked squads get broken into and looted all the time. Hell a couple years ago an unmarked Indiana state police suv was broken into in Indy and they got two machine guns and 3 pistols, along with two sets of body armor.

Hell in chicago they are stealing the damn lightbars right off marked squads. If you go anywhere that pegs you as a cop you can look forward to the crooks trying to break into your vehicle as they know cops have a lot of goodies.

WTF is a Trooper doing with 2 machine guns in his vehicle? Jeez....

same with me , it was also on video , the guy scaled a 6 ft wire fence cut the barb wire on top broke into about 10 vehicles , with people coming and going , not one person ever saw this guy , he used lighting and vehicles to hide himself , then when he was done , he went right back to the fence and back over it he went into the night, with a new and I mean brand spanking new Glock 23 , I just bought it.
of course the company cameras are junk and could barely make it out , no close ups and it was at night. I learned my lesson , I will never leave my gun in my car again.

I assume that the squad was unlocked?

Locked doors might slow a novic by about 4-seconds.

Wannamaker Guns has a totally mismatched M44 if you are interested.
