drunks really just fuck everything up...they dont mean too..but it just happens that way..
shows once again alcohol creates more prob's than need be.....
there's a cop in that station that will get your gun back $$$$ you just got to find him!
I mean come on, you were hiding a few guns at a fellow criminals house that had more than a utilitarian importance to you? I understand leaving a tool at a friends house, but an heirloom?
Why didn't you just leave them at your families house........
Not to be a prick but you shoulda seen that one coming sooner or later.
Sounds like if you needed a gun that bad the guy had a few you could borrow.
next time ..... gps, a shovel, trash bag and a quality case.
...best way to hide away your "tools" while you're waiting for a zombie apocalypse.
I don't believe you had a "full auto" Rem 1100 shotgun. I'm a 'smith. Those are gas operated semi auto, and not full auto, I've never heard of a conversion in over 30 years working on guns. Maybe, but why? Who the hell could control a full auto 12-GA anyway? It sounds like you mean you had a sawed-off Rem 1100 (under 18"), under the ATF legal barrel length of 18", correct? Those are a ticket to 10 years in Leavenworth, worst case. Whatever, it is illegal under Fed law, heirloom or not. It wasn't stolen as much as it was confiscated. Sorry you lost your Dad's shotgun - in hindsight ya should have put a hunting barrel on it and kept it with an eligible family member. I don't think Rem 1100 with over 18" barrel is illegal in any state, even CA. Sorry its too late now. Plus, yer bud now has a fed NFA beef - and its your fault. No? Sucks all the way around, dude. Bummer.
you are right about the gun, other than it was full auto, where you hold the trigger down and it unloads until the gun is empty(5 or 6 shots), the barrel was 14"...i guess its what you would call a close quarters gun......
