Of the Troops & For the Troops

I can tell you this. If that was turned in at my dept. someone would be taking it home. They have done it for years. Shady bunch!!!

I am surprised the police are letting her sell it, some good folks there.

A "buy back", they got a $200 gift card for it since it was an evil assault weapon.
I'm sure it was shredded.

A little old lady came in to the police office with a burlap bag and dropped it on the counter. She said "Here, this was my late husbands and he's dead and I don't want it.". In the bag was a Thompson that her husband was issued during WWII, and sorta forgot to turn back in when he came back from the war. My good friend at the time was the department armorer. I showed up during lunch break during one of their training sessions and got to spend an hour shooting the old thing.... It was FUN!!!!!

registered and so it can't be sold. If it can't be sold all it is is scrap metal. What a shame. It wasn't just issued to SS troops either.
