    Hire a lawyer.

    I'm not a lawyer, but you might be able to get your lawyer to get a writ of mandamus issued to compel the Sheriff to do their job.

    Did it to me in Harco and they only wanted the regulated the lovely ex mother in law mentioned. And I filed an order against the ex first smh. Anyway after we both both dropped them it only took a few weeks no lawyer no court. Just some paperwork, phone call or 2, and a stern i better get it registered (a gift in 2012) easy enough online. Glad I put it in a case now though they were definetly fondling some other guys steel when I picked up mine right b4 covid 19.Some are understanding, pro 2A, and helpful. Hopefully all goes just as smoothly for ya.

    You sir would not steal but it’s proven there are some that would murder a man on camera for the world to see, so........never say never?

    If you really believe that he intended to “...murder a man on camera for the world to see”.

    Well... you are welcome to your opinion.

    Save your retort... I’m not interested in the debate.

    I have had a lot of success in these situations getting my client's guns back quickly and with an apology. Be forewarned, I have personally seen multiple instances where sitting on this issue will result in the weapons being "accidentally" destroyed. Hire a lawyer to fire off a nastygram - it should take an hour (maybe two depending on how much factual background is required). Average hourly rate (and mine) is $250/hour so you're not talking about a tremendous amount of money.

    fwiw I know a police captain of a local force who told me he never has given back a firearm that was given over in similar circumstances. Told me he just sends them to be destroyed and tells people to sue the department if they complain and has never had any backlash. We have had many conversation about this but he won't budge. I consider him a good guy and we agree on most everything else in life. For him it's just self preservation and not wanting to be the guy who gave the guns back to a person with bad intentions. The ultimate cya I suppose.. I sincerely hope you get yours back and I would follow the advise above, document everything and nag them each and everyday taking names, certified mail etc...

    Screw your friend. He's a traitor to the constitution and the laws he swore to defend. I hope karma comes to him swiftly and mightily.

    And I bet he would be one of the first to kneel, then lay down to the protesters.

    Then to wash their feet.

    He can kiss my a**. He is a douche.

    The longer that I am in this hell hole state and hear of stories like this the harder I want to up and leave! So I will! Just got a nice property in WV! I close on the house at the end of this month! Ah the fresh smell of freedom!!!!!! The cherry on the pie is that the book of faces has offered me a job as a systems engineer! Still undecided as to whether or not I'll take that job working for the Zucc. :lol: :party29:

    That being said I'll keep fighting the good fight for you guys and will donate to the cause! I'm getting older and need to think about not just my future but my children's future as well. If you value your rights and your property I urge you get out of Maryland! They don't deserve you guys! They don't deserve your hard earned tax dollars! They already have billions of dollars in budget shortfalls! Kick them where it hurts! I've got to imagine that with all of this COVID-19 nonsense they are in deep doo doo financially as they have been for a while now anyway! I hear that WV is much better for retirement too!

    Send me a PM of where you went to, we might be able to organize a get together for members if we are close enough together.

    No disrespect to you, but this man is not a "good guy"... he is a petty tyrant who is ignorant of the meaning of the American values of Liberty.

    If true, he should lose his job. That's the kind of defunding that I would support.

    That police captain needs to be fired and charged with theft and destruction of property. Not a “good guy” at all.
