Question about keeping a gun in your truck....

. Oh yeah...almost forgot. Lost my Sig 226 to law enforcement as icing on the cake.

How did you manage to lose your weapon if you were "No Billed"?

I was so releaved I wasn't about to spend 30 years in prison I didn't want to file the paperwork to get the gun back and take the chance a different DA would review the case and decide to bring it back to trial. Trust me on this. If you ever find yourself facing the possibility of getting a 30 year prison sentence, loosing a 600.00 gun will seem like nothing. Your level of innocence gives little comfort.

Your opinion is incorrect...at least in my case. In 1998 this exact scenario happened to me. I spent two days in jail...15,000 dollars to cover my end of the bond. The attorney cost me $2,500.00 bucks. Case was no billed. Quite frankly, if anyone believes they are going to use a weapon in self defense and just walk off as the crowd cheers for the "hero", they are in for a very unpleasant surprise. Maybe in some cases you get to walk, but not in all cases. Be prepared for the worst and you won't get caught unprepared. Oh yeah...almost forgot. Lost my Sig 226 to law enforcement as icing on the cake.

Glad you are alive to talk about it. That's what matters.
