That's what I figured, but it's hard to tell from the picture.Filthy? Is that black powder on it? It kinda looks like they dusted it for fingerprints.

Her plan was to give it directly to the housekeeper if possible. It was a pretty high end hotel so maybe the rest of the staff is just as honest.Hopefully the housekeeper gets it
Yeah, time doesn't come across very well on a forum. Lol.I was actually asking with a bit of sarcasm that likely didn't come across. But I know from experience there are cops who are ignorant of our gun laws. As the saying goes, jack of all trades, master of none. I've cringed before when I heard officers ask someone if their gun was registered. Why would you register a weapon unless you were forced to? The only weapon I have registered is an SBR. (The rest got washed away in the flood a year ago. It was terrible.) I've stopped a former co-worker from booking a guy with carrying a concealed weapon when the guy had a permit from Mississippi. I had to show him the reciprocity info on the LSP website. He still went to jail for other charges.
As far as getting the firearms back, I've heard it was difficult. And yes, the city does have an anti-gun stance. In general, to get a gun back in New Orleans, it has to be listed as property and not evidence. The owner has to come in during the hours Central Evidence & Property is open. And I believe they need to show ownership of the weapon, which would be the tricky part. I can't show that I own all of my weapons. For example, I have a 1911 that I cannot remember from where I bought it and I know I don't have the receipt. (Well, I had the 1911. That darn flood.) So if I left it somewhere, I don't know if I could prove it was mine. I've got pictures of all my weapons and their serial numbers but would that count?

Lost all my computer and paper records in the 08/15/2016 flood along with everything else and that is NO BS. Starting Over as funds allow.
If you would have had a fire and water proof safe to keep your records in you would not have to be dealing with that now. I am not a backwoods country azz hick but, I am not stupid either!
If a Frog had wings Fanatic.

Not sure about the iPhone, but there's an Android app called gunsafe for about $5.00 that'll allow you to track firearm and ammo inventory. It'll store serial numbers, pics of firearms and receipts, date acquired, etc. I'm pretty sure there's a free version to try. I'm not affiliated with the app in any way, just a happy user.

The police dusted it for prints, that's what is on the gun in the picture, but after my wife called first thing the next morning, the lady she spoke with pulled it from DNA before they tested it so that my wife could pick it up that day.
