Very interesting. Thanks for posting! I had heard that 3 guns were recovered by a TPD officer that rolled up one some guys in a vehicle. Apparently, they tossed the guns under the vehicle they were in.

I changed the locks on the restaurant the morning they caught the guy up in the attic, The gun he had with him was still there? Kinda crazy??

I have a dumb question:

Is it illegal to own a firearm in which the serial number has been removed, scratched ect? I do not own one like that but am curious about the law?

Yes, that would be a felony of the federal type as addressed in the Gun Control Act of 1968.

It's a felony to alter or obliterate a serial number. Also a felony to possess a gun with an altered or obliterated serial number.

Off the topic, but let's say you purchase a firearm from a private individual at a gun show. No paperwork, cash only. After the gun show, you realize the SN has been obliterated from the firearm. What's the best course of action - turn it into the local police dept and write it off as a loss?

I think the *best* course is to not possess it.

Nassredine commends the Tulsa Police Department for quickly arrested the man who broke into his business. "If I was a criminal, I would want to go up against these officers. They are the very best at what they do."

Uh....not me.
