Glock carry question

[alfahornet]

Hypothetically if such a Glock should exist I would not want to have anything to do with it and specifically not want to carry it.

Whenever a LEO runs a check on a gun it checks all the way up threw the Federal Level. So no matter what if it comes back clean, he gets a free gun.

haha. bc everyone knows NCOs are above reproach. they must not have noticed me then bc i got rat ****ed just as bad as everyone else.

I'm detecting a little "stripe" envy from junior enlisted

I would get rid of that Glock if I were you.. but that's my take on this subject.

 

[MACHINEGUN]

Some of you fail to realize that gun isn't legit at all.. i.e. different serial numbers on the slide and frame.. I would say is totally illegal in the United States.

To each his own though.

Of course they are, they've spent the time to learn the ropes.

They always b**ch... until they get promoted and switch sides.

I have a used Glock bought from a dealer (police trader I believe) and it has different serial #s on the slide and frame. Hope that doesn't mean anything bad

Mismatched Glock

Sounds like it makes you uneasy. If that is the case that might make for a good answer. Always better to be "above reproach". I am not sure that it is worth getting into some potential hot water over $495. let us know what you end up doing!

The gun functions fine. I'm just worried about getting caught with a gun that may/may not be stolen. And I don't know if the "I bought it off an individual" excuse would hold any water.

So you think that an Iraqi Soldier might have stolen it from a Kuwaiti soldier 15 years ago and that has you worried? If the first part of your story were true, I guess I wouldn't worry about as there is no "police report" if it came from a weapons cache in Iraq (although there may be an issue of having "snuck" it into the country). If, on the other hand, if you don't think that part of the story is true, then you should get it checked out. Thirdly, the mismatched serial numbers are inconsequential to anything. There is no law that I'm aware of that requires you to keep the serial numbers matching, and many guns only have the serial number on one important part, the reciever.

I'd say carry it. As far as you know, you bought it at a garage sale!!!!!
Just my opinion.

So what's the word on this? Have you had the numbers ran yet?

The serial number on the frame is the only one that counts. Mis-matched serial numbers is no big deal as long as the head space is correct and the parts line up. I have an STG-58, a true FrankenFAL that has no serial numbers anywhere that match another, yet per ATF the number on the receiver is the official number of the firearm. Perfectly legal.

As for it being an illegal bring-back, how could anyone know unless they traced the firearm directly back to the factory to find out where it was originally shipped.

Granted it is safer to be legal with anything firearm related, but paranoia, great destroyer.

What goodcat said

You should hypothetically accept it, take it to the police, tell them you purchased it from a private seller and would like them to run it to make sure it was not stolen. Tell them if it was, they are welcome to take it, you just don't want to own a stolen weapon.

I can think of no police officer who would arrest you if it did come back as stolen, hypothetically.

I think you are wrong. They would start in with 'who did you buy it from'? The 'buddy' is now a felon, or at least a suspect.

 

[Paxton383]

get rid of it now

Correct

Keep it, as long as it isn't a stolen US gun. It has a great/good story behind it; you must have done something good for your friend to give you the gun.

Laws come and go, but the universal truth is, the spoils of war go to the victor. Our fathers and grandfathers are not criminals simply because they brought back tangible memories of the wars that they fought in.
