Whether it is your prized tactical AR-15, the Remington Nylon 66 or Ruger 10/22 you learned to plink on as a kid, the lever action Marlin .30-30 you hunt with, or shotgun, revolver or semi-automatic pistol you use for home defense, concealed carry or keeping the family safe, many California gun owners want to know if their guns will be safe if they file for chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcy.
The short answer is yes, probably, but give us a call for a free consultation.
Firearms are assets
Firearms are assets but filing bankruptcy does not necessarily mean that you are going to lose those assets. You do not have to be a police officer or security guard or use your weapon on the job to keep possession of them (although if you did, your guns would be exempt as “tools of the trade”.)
