If he was still working there, then was he still checked in to that room? If so, it's his place of residence and he has every right to possess a firearm in his own place of residence. He has an expectation of privacy, and all that. As long as the gun is on the list, and as long as the magazine ban isn't being enforced yet, then he should be all right. Correct? |

Wait, I could tell the 36 also, only becasue the grip is so thin. I know I have a 36 becasue I tried carrying it instead of my 19 and that went south. So, forgetting a firearm? Sure, I can see it in the realm of possibility. I have made worse, stupider mistakes in my life. How about you? |

That kind of "accident" seems to only happen to people I've known who either start drinking early in the morning or swallow opioids by the fistful, or both.
Always makes me worry that they get behind the wheel, on the highway, sometimes. |

Lots of Hillary supporters in this thread hoping that California fucks OP's friend.
 OP, your bud needs to write his Glock off as a loss and forget about it. I went to California this summer with my family on a road trip. I carried a S&W 638 in a locked Pelican case. Next time your bud travels there he should take a handgun that is legal there. |

My cousin did the exact same thing but in Florida. They turned it in to the Sheriff's office and would not allow him to just pick it up. After two weeks worth of hoops it was mailed back to him.
I know it's not California but Florida is pretty close. |

It amazes me how detached from reality we are around here sometimes. You guys must certainly recognize we’re not run of the mill gun owners on arfcom. It does not surprise me in the least that an average gun owner would not know what model their gun is. Lots of people buy a gun and then tuck it away in a drawer or the top of the closet...possibly most.

It's perfectly legal for him, as an out of state resident to own that pistol. Yes, even with standard capacity mags.
Getting it back may be another story. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Well the Atf can probably track the gun back to him, the hotel was registered in his name, he did call, probably from a phone registered in his name that showed up on caller ID, to ask about the gun then used the same phone to text OP and admit his sins. PC is definitely there to arrest, but whether or not the ADA goes through with it is another story. By simply not having a witness observing him possess it or a confession, the ADA may not take it to trial. That will raise some doubts, especially with a good attorney. He should definitely be prepared to pepper the ole angus though |

Since that magazine is illegal in Cali, I probably would stfu about it. At this point they probably won't charge him because they never saw him in possession of it.

I woke up to a series of panicked text messages from a friend who's working in California. He left his Glock in a hotel room. He called them to ask if they found it. They did and they turned it into the police. He said he's not sure of the model, but it holds more than 10 rounds. I know, lawyer and all that, but he's pretty stressed over it, doesn't know what to do, and asked me to ask online since it's the weekend and the middle of the night for him. |

Magazine capacity law was placed on hold in court recently in CA https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/courts/sd-me-magazine-ruling-20180717-story.html The lawsuit is filed by the California Rifle and Pistol Association — an affiliate of the National Rifle Association — on behalf of gun owners who either want the magazines for self defense or already own them and don’t want to be forced to give them up. “This is a significant win for law-abiding gun owners in California,” Chris W. Cox, executive director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, said in a statement. GD has informed me that the NRA-ILA is a communist organization, dedicated to destroying the 2nd Amendment, and that Chris Cox is the antichrist. |

That's my nightmare scenario since I travel and fly a lot. A few years ago I almost left home for the airport with my Glock 19 mag in my computer bag I never do this. It always takes about 33 minutes. Why? I run through the check list I made and had laminated years ago and do a walkaround. Thermostat set? Check. Cat fed? Check Stove off? Check. Guns put away? Check etc. I also have an additional one for when I travel by air. Pockets of all clothing gone through? Bags emptied and cleared? Wrist watch in carry-on? Any gun arrangements? You get the general idea. The pilot that has flown 5,000 trips STILL uses a check list. You can call me a doddering old man if you want but the fact is I have done this for decades and over the years it has been a successful way to do things. |
