Interesting update yesterday:
A buddy who is on the ERU of a nearby department (said department being on the usual tight budget) maintains several of his "tools" as personally owned weapons. He picked up an optic off ebay for his entry gun awhile back.
Lo and behold, now many moons hence, "here come da Judge" in the form of a (very comely) field agent checking on the device, which he still had box for absent any NSN markings or engravings on this particular item. Unknown whether they'll want it back or will just let him keep it. NCIS following up to cross t's, dot i's.
Took initial contact message from his Dad who simply told him, "Hey, Zeva's looking for you... what have you done now?"
LOL
So does actually selling the stuff online rise to felony-stupid or not?
