So far this month the Paso Robles Police Department has recovered the firearms depicted above, from cases here in the city. Most if not all the guns were stolen, not registered, or possessed illegally. The revolver was illegally modified and had the serial numbers removed. The green Glock in picture #3 was taken from Moreno Gonzalez who was arrested.

The police remind the public to keep firearms secured in a safe location to ensure they are inaccessible to thieves or children. As terrible as it is to have your property stolen it is worse to have it stolen and used in a crime or possibly injure loved ones.

Owning an unregistered handgun in California is not in itself a crime.
