Police markings on trade in glocks?

I went to my local gun store and was chating with the owner. One thing lead to another and was offered a gen. 2 Glock22 police trade in for a steal. The only thing that bothers me is that on one side of the frame the words "Bexar County Sheriff" is factory stamped on the glock. I was wondering will a problem arise later on down the road cause of that stamping. Has anyone else bought a police trade in with sort of the same markings?:headscratch:

If it is a good deal, take it.

If you are worried about what will happen if a hotshot cop pulls you over and sees the gun then simply grind the serial number off.

Then it is a certainty what will happen if you are pulled over.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

you will not have a problem if paperwork and gun are registered to you
Hey, YANKEE... this is a free state... there's none of that commie crap here... Paperwork? all I walk out with is a credit card receipt and a gun.

THERE IS NO FEDERAL, STATE, COUNTY, or LOCAL REGISTRATION IN THIS FINE STATE.

May God help those of you in places where there is.

In fact, the state has laws against counties or municipalities passing their own gun laws. Otherwise Austin and Houston would look like San Fran and LA.

Registered..... :freak:

If some hot shot cop is looking to make trouble for you he is going to make trouble for you..... during a stop the show belongs to the officer. If he makes a procedural mistake you don't get to argue with him. That comes later - most likely with your lawyer.

These are worth taking the time to watch......

Any time a LEO finds any gun - legally carried or not - he is going to run the numbers to see if it is stolen. So if you have purchased it from a reputable dealer there should be no problem. If you suspect the gun is stolen take it to the local cop shop and have them run the numbers and then you will know.......

I'd get one if I had the bucks right now.....

P.S.

This one is funny....

Cause when I got stopped the last two times. The first question is always "Do you have weapons on you sir". Then asked for my DL and insurance.
Paranoid... NO. cautious yes
They can ask, you can politely reply " since you are a law abideing citizen, and I assume you are licensed to carry, yes, or that it is really no ones buisiness. You vehicle cannot be searched with out a warrant or your permission, unless you hve been arrested,( a minor traffic infraction is not an arrestable offense, unless you refuse to identify yourself) if you are licensed is part of the licensing regulation, that you must disclose being armed if asked by an LEO? If you firearm is legal and was purchased by you legally, you have nothing to worry about. A simple NCIC check will show that the pistol is not stolen. No matter what is stamped on it. I had a 1911 that had property of USMC stamped on it, long before I was ever in Law Enforcement.
I had a guy try to Rob me late one night, the pistol was not consealed except by the dark, the police officer who responded did a lot of checking on me and my pistol, it went into evidence till after the inquest, and I spent the night a guest of the county, I was reliesed the next morning, and no charges were brought since the guy who tried to rob me had a long record for the same thing and matched discriptions of several robberies in that area with that same M.O.
I guess what I am trying to say is, don't be paranoid. I know that some rookie cops can tend to go overboard at times, they usually get weeded out, if one gets to friskey it just adds to the final award the tax payers will end up giving you just do not get abusive and do not resist give the rookie no reason to go beyond what he has the right to do, but you have a responsibility to know what your rights are and his athority is.
Know what the rules of arrest are.
Know what constitutes a valid traffic stop, and what constitutes harrasment.
Give nothing that is not your legal responsibility to give, if asked for, you and your vehicle I.D., and your CCW,if you have one, surrender your weapon only if your state requires you to. And most important, always be polite. Give the officer no excuses, and be prepaired to Sue him and his dept. and what ever governing body they are part of, if any of your rights are violated. BTW I am a retired cop I used to train rookie cops, in civil rights and Constitutional Law. I guess that ius why I tend to get long winded when I see folks working up to paranoia about police, I know that many times there have been cases of Police abuse, but just like Glock Kabooms many of them are more Rumor than fact, and many could have been avoided by just being polite and cooperateing

NO WAY (sarcasm)!!!:rofl:



One of the MANY things I love about FL law is that I am NOT REQUIRED to tell the officer that pulled me over that I am armed.

Also, if you are ever arrested remember these SEVEN WORDS:

"I want to speak with a lawyer"



You also have the right to request a SUPERVISOR ON SCENE.

DO NOT TRUST COPS! They are human beings and therefore subject to temptation just like anyone else. Trust your gut instinct and be aware of your surroundings. If you are not comfortable pulling over in a dark secluded spot, motion to the officer to follow you to a place where you do feel comfortable. If he gives you crap, request a SUPERVISOR ON SCENE and then sue his *** in court!!!

A cop on a power trip is a very dangerous thing!!! I just wish more of them realized this, and maybe they wouldn't be so hated by the public.

I thought that these LE stamps are pretty cool. Add more characters to the Glock. May be worth more one day with the right type of agency stamp.
