Police in Montgomery County say they have seen a trend lately as they continue recovering illegal guns every day during minor traffic stops.
Police in Montgomery County have been finding illegal, untraceable and modified guns in the hands of people who are legally not supposed to have them every day.
“All young men under the age of 21, the legal age to carry a firearm,” Fink said. “All three of these handguns were recovered from that backpack. As you can see, extended magazines they were loaded at that time.”Some of the guns that police have found have had the serial numbers scratched off or been ghost guns which are untraceable. Some have even had additions added to them.
In all the cases, police say the guns are in the hands of criminals and being found during what is considered minor traffic offenses. Once the guns are processed, they are being checked against a national database where investigators can learn a lot more about the guns and where they’ve been.
