That's pretty much what I said. As far as I can tell, a ballistics test is a search. Where is the PC or warrant?

Somebody has assumed that any gun someone finds has been used in a crime...
But until investigators are told this is not a free lunch (probably cause) situation, this type of intrusion into people privacy will continue...

Of course you begin a written chain of custody with that handoff since you disarmed him/touched it/took possesion of the firearm right? Would this be any different than if legal porescription drugs were taken off of him? personal property, such as an expensive watch?
