Understandably, the government is portraying this as "an unacceptable blemish on the integrity of law enforcement in Liberty County." Perhaps. But what is also unacceptable is the systemic lack of controls and accountability that would lead anyone to think they could get away with such a scheme--repeatedly and over the course of years. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner column looks at how, under government management, total control can turn into just the opposite. Say, maybe we shouldn't be fighting it so hard...

No theft here; these guys were buying and selling guns from the evidence room. No one ever asked why rural Liberty County had so many guns held 'in evidence'. Were other deputies feeding the scheme? Guess we'll never know.
Was Mr. Lee's ffl pulled?
His store and range are open for business.
A weapon seized by police and held as evidence is not "owned" by the police and should not be considered abandoned property. If it is disposed of without direction by the court then that is usually considered an unauthorized conversion or theft. Any law students or lawyers among the readers that care to give a better explanation?
