    No Charge misdemeanor
    I was involved in an accidental shooting. I am the shooter. The police came and took my info like always. They were going to finger print me and never did. It has been almost six months and they have not charged me or even sent me court papers. What is the statue of limitations on this type of crime? They took the weapon without legal paperwork also. Is there anything we can do about that. Someone please help me out. Thanks

    I don't understand the question. Do you want to know what you can do to get the gun back?

    Well - you could ask for it back, bring yourself to the attention of the Police and see if they ever intend to charge you.

    What State?

    The gun would be held as evidence, ** unless you did not have a permit or the gun was owned illegally. But to get the gun back, you will file a request with the police department, you will have to provide proof of ownership ( bill of sale normally with the serial number of the gun) the store you bought it at, should be able to provide that.

    As for the statue of limitation depends on state, normally from 1 to 3 years with 1 year being more common unless someone was actually shoot ( just a discharge)
