Might want to pull up this story for other items may be of interest - for instance, car theft and detective's gun used in robbery, etc. Now this is Gary Condit's brother? What are they running their in Modesto California other than, well people asked to turn in guns and who takes them the police without paying for them and Gary Condit's brother was one of them. This outfit looks about as corrupt as they come. Yet California works to disarm the public for you know police these days do not realize they are not civilians in some instances - they believe they are Officers in the Military from Lt. to Captain to a full Chicken Colonel? Police are Civil Service are they not; and why are people afraid to speak out about this guy's brother, the congressman - with a missing intern causing him some embarrassing problems - the guy is known as "blow dry" and hangs around discos? Saba You may pull up information on other items from subject matter below.....think those guns that were turned in to police were destroyed? Think again..... � ���MPD Guns � Some police didn't pay for guns By Michael G. Mooney Bee staff writer (Published: Wednesday, March 31, 1999) Modesto police say a "handful" of officers were allowed to take guns from the department's arsenal without paying for them or completing state-required paperwork. The officers were allowed to take guns, Lt. Dave Young said Tuesday, by promising to pay for them later. But the department never received any of those payments. Young said he also was unable to locate copies of the state- required forms recording the sale of those guns and transfer of ownership. He was working Tuesday to determine how many guns were taken without being paid for. Young is heading an expanded investigation into the department's mishandling of its 1996-97 gun sale. The sale allowed officers to buy old department guns, in part to recoup costs associated with the department's switch to new 9mm Sig-Sauer semiautomatics. The expanded investigation was ordered after it was discovered that some of the guns sold had been used by criminals and should have been destroyed. Some guns also were resold to the public, and at least one has since ended up in the hands of a criminal. Young said he will forward his findings to City Manager Ed Tewes, who is expected to present the information to the City Council next week. Tewes already has characterized the sale as an embarrassment. The Stanislaus County district attorney's office is pursuing its own investigation into the gun sale. Young also revealed Tuesday that one of the guns sold to a Modesto officer and subsequently reported stolen has been recovered by the Sacramento Police Department. The 9mm Beretta was reported stolen about a year ago by a man who received the gun as a gift from Modesto police officer Aaron Gallagher, according to a city memo. Young said he had not seen the report on the recovery of the gun and, as a result, was not sure if it was used in the commission of a crime. Young also is not sure what happened to the paperwork involving gun purchases made by Sgt. Burl Condit, the brother of Gary Condit, a congressman from Ceres. "We're still working on that," Young said. Department records indicate Burl Condit purchased only one gun. State records, however, show he bought as many as nine handguns in the sale. He since has returned five of the guns, city records show, and offered to pay for the other four because they no longer are in his possession. Condit previously said he remembered buying only one gun. In addition, police records reviewed by The Bee show that there were more than 100 handguns in the department's arsenal prior to the sale that apparently were not sold or destroyed, yet no longer are listed in the department's inventory. Young, however, said those guns are not necessarily missing. He said the department's inventory and destruction records are not reliable. No one in the department, Young said, had compared guns listed for destruction with those actually destroyed. Additionally, Young said, no one in the department checked the serial numbers of the guns offered for sale to determine if they should have been destroyed, or if they should have been returned to their lawful owners if the weapons were lost or stolen. � � SABA NOTE: Think Condit's brother the congressman told the little intern he would let her get into the CIA or FBI?
