Hi again, if you have been following my posts, i just wanted to update and say my ex's phones off, i called to check all day it was off. His father who blames me has not contacted me since he texted me talking sh*t. The gun (registered under my name) that he used to shoot in the air is still in his possession...If i report this, will he be contacted? Don't know who to trust, I'm lost. I know if the police get involved, he will get more aggressive and go into his mental psychosis state of mind and use the firearm towards himself or others. I don't want the police to be involved but at the same time i don't know if he even still has it or sold it, used it again etc! Im scared out of my mind, it puts my name and life in danger as well. I am a nurse, clean record, straight. If I had the firearm in my possession, I would have nothing to do with him, but since its under my name and very dangerous, I feel like I need stay close and get it somehow.
help :(
Oh and i forgot to mention, we live in different cities, about 40 min away so I can't just pop up or check on him. I'm always the one driving there, he has no transportation but he is very dangerous mentally and physically now. Its going to be the 3rd day not hearing or knowing wtf is going on :I
Dear Trying to Cope, You said the this gun is in the possession of your ex I'm assuming..from your description alone he sounds like a firecracker with a short fuse.....now add to that the fact he uses drugs.....it sounds like a recipe for trouble.....Obviously your afraid he might use the gun...and whatever he does you will be linked to as you are the registered owner.....or possibly maybe your afraid he might use it towards you......I would go the precinct and tell the police. ....and also tell them your fear and ask for a restraining order....At the very least you are allowing them to know that the only involvement you have is the owner and he did not get your permission to have possession of the firearm.....I would do it immediately or whatever happens with this gun in the meantime will have you attached to it.
As a footnote you said you feel you need to stay close to get it back you describe him as physically and mentally dangerous.....honey Stay away call the police allow the law to do its job.....You don't wanna wind up hurt or possibly dead....Be smart.....make the call.
Trying, You can tell them you're not sure if you want to make an official report because he's unstable but you don't know what to do and see what the cop's suggest.
Who knows? Maybe your ex has a warrant and they can go there and take the gun away and leave your name out of it..
or maybe they'll just list the gun as stolen and not contact him. I understand you're afraid to get the cops involved because it might set him off. So, just ask the cops what to do.
I feel so bad for you because I know this is weighing heavily on you in addition to fearing for your safety.
hugs, Laurie
