Glock Trade In - "Blood Gun"

General Firearms Handguns - Semi Auto
1

Hey guys.

Found a local dealer that trains armed security guards that has a Gen 3 G17 for sale for a great price. The gun looks new but Ive been told its a “blood gun”. Basically it was used in a shooting. He said it already went through ballistics and returned.

The gun is being sold because the guard is changing to a .40 caliber chambered pistol.

So my question is, how does this impact a civilian legally. Should this be a concern that should be avoided or no big deal if the weapon is used legally.

This will mostly be a range gun.

There is no reason not to enjoy the benefits of a great price on this gun-from a legal perspective. Use it as a range, competition or CCW. The real question to ask is whether it is reliable. BTW, im a former Assistant District Attorney.

Thank you very much for the reply.

If I ever choose to resell, would that just require full disclosure?

Anything else necessary?

I’ve had a number of guns that were formerly evidence guns sold to dealers. I’ve also had a number of suicide guns over the years.

If such history bothers you, don’t buy them. They aren’t a problem otherwise.

You’ll never see one from California. Cali gathers up all evidence guns and destroys them all once or twice a year.

How long has that been the case?

10

Just because the dealer tells you a story dosen’t make it true. Otherwise, if its a good price buy it.

No! legally sold to you, legally owned by you, legal for you to sell it to anyone . legaly of course. :wink:

You mean my AR that Sitting Bull used to kills Custard from 3 miles away isn’t really that gun? :laugh:

I’d buy a haunted house if the price was right.

You can always tell when someone from TOS comes over here, there was a similar topic at TOS just a few days ago.

“…put to good use.” :rolleyes:

I’ve thought I was that way too… Till we looked at house for sale that totally gave me the heebs… It had been vacant and on the market for way over a year, and the price was RIGHT. Nothing in the whole place except a crucifix, in a bedroom closet. Later a fireman buddy tells me that fellow fireman’s wife had offed herself in that room. That house is vacant to this day…

But I’m fairly certain I wouldn’t have a problem with a gun that had killed.

You know I’m “FROM” M4C because Im asking about buying a used Glock not a Carbon 15.

19

Interesting question and was wondering about the disclosure thing myself.

I’ve bought evidence guns before from the local cop shop and never had an issue. I see no reason to “disclose” anything about the history of a gun. So long as it’s a legal transaction you should be fine.
