Delete comment from: The War on Guns
"sounds like a pretty bad place to store any guns at all, then."
Or anything else, really, which is exactly why the new facility is being built. HPD is painfully aware of the inadequacies of the existing building.
And let's give credit where credit is due: most of this stuff, guns included, is recovered stolen property and, when it's no longer needed as evidence, will eventually be returned to the owners, if they can be found. The weapons (did I mention the entire room filled with knives?) are either stolen or were confiscated from goblins committing overt crimes. This isn't the BATFX, confiscating guns for the sake of disarming the public.
It's a Good Thing, in general, and the new one is well worth the $14M, given the size of the problem it addresses.
