    Let me get this right please let me know if I misunderstood.
    He took the gun to replace his Glock sights and return it after?

    That's what it appears to be. He took the gun to either identify the sights or figure out how they were installed so he could do the same thing to his gun, and then returned the "secretely borrowed" gun once he did that. Unaltered and allegedly unfired. I just can't even.

    No worries, he'll probably get a plea bargain in 2 or 3 years, after about 75 delays and postponements.

    If so, that's a hell of a lot more than most anyone else would get on a first offense and with the item returned before they were confronted. Misdemeanor diversion, time served, and maybe community service along with a fine if you aren't declared indigent is very normal for first offenses on a normal theft were the item is gone-gone. In Marion Co it's normal for much more than your first offense, but that's not relevant to this.

    Wow. It's quite obvious from the testimony in the article that he intended to keep the gun, but brought it back when he realized they would notice. Very foolish.
