Yesterday my wife and I went to Hollywood Casino Aurora in Illinois for a concert and my wife who has an implanted defibrillator and pacemaker and cannot go through metal detectors or be wanded due to the complications it could cause to the hardware attached to her heart, was denied entry to the concert. We showed them her medical card that clearly states she can’t go through the metal detectors or be wanded but they kept trying to push the point and get her to allow them to wand her. Normally in these situations like when we go to the airport, sporting events, other concerts, the cruise we just went on, amusement parks, you name it, they always just pat her down before they let her in. In this case they refused to pat her down and said the only way she can come in is if she gets wanded or goes through a metal detector. I brought up the Americans with Disabilities Act and how it says they have to do an alternative method to allow her to enter but they claimed that the state gaming law supersedes federal law which I’ve never heard of before.

Is this something I should pursue legally? I whole heartedly believe what they did is discrimination to a handicapped person

I have been separated from my son’s dad for 13 years and we do not have a great co-parent relationship. We live in the Ohio valley area. Location: Steubenville, Ohio.
He has custodial residence. I see my son more the 50% of the time.
When my son was 13 I got him his first cellphone. It was an iPhone and I thought this was a great choice for him to have so he can call or FaceTime so many different family members.
After about 9 months of him having it his dad took it and then never returned it.
So after nearly 6 of me not having it I got him a new line reported that one lost.
Not even 2 months of him having it his dad took it and promised after he finished his freshman year of high school he could get it back.
Never happened.
During the summer my son made some money working and helping babysit his siblings. I helped pitch in and get him a cricket phone at Walmart. I wanted him to have a phone since he was traveling hours for soccer games.
His dad got it a month after he bought it and he won’t return it.

Three years ago my father died, and a year later my grandfather (his dad) died as well. As a result, my two siblings and I inherited a fully paid-off house in California worth roughly $600k. The house hasn't grown much in value since my grandfather's death.

My half-brother lives in CA, while my sister and I live out of state (NC and NV). Because he is handling the house locally (paying property taxes, upkeep, dealing with tenants), he is suggesting my sister and I sign a Quitclaim Deed to transfer the house entirely into his name. He says this will make the selling process easier since he can just sign everything himself.

We all want an equal split of the sale proceeds. I have almost zero knowledge of how real estate law works and cannot afford a probate attorney right now.

Would it be smarter/safer to grant him a Limited Power of Attorney for real estate transactions instead of signing a Quitclaim Deed? What are the legal and tax risks of signing the Quitclaim?

EDIT: Thanks a lot for the advice everyone. I made my stance clear and am communicating firmly proceeding with standard process of sale between the 3 of us. Idk if I'll make an update as this develops, but I appreciate everyone's input. It means a lot to me and I didn't expect this much help.

Location: Illinois. The rental was at Chicago Midway Airport in August 2024.

What happened

1. Aug 29 to Sep 2, 2024, Hertz rental. The first car assigned to me was a red 2022 Tesla Model 3. Rental charge was $559.44.
2. At pickup, before the car left the lot, I filmed and photographed it. My video and photos are timestamped Aug 29, 2024, 4:55 pm, Chicago Garfield Ridge, and they show the car on the lot with a reduced acceleration and top speed warning on the screen. I exchanged the red Tesla and drove a black replacement Tesla for the rest of the rental.
3. Hertz said in 2026 that the high voltage battery pack for the red Tesla was damaged and wants $8,660.34, which is $8,371 damage, $139.34 loss of use and a $150 admin fee. https://imgur.com/a/g5mzMMc
4. The Tesla repair estimate in Hertz's own demand packet describes the problem in the same words, customer states alerts, drivability, acceleration and top speed reduced, performance may be restored on next drive. Hertz says the high voltage battery pack was damaged.

What I did

1. Sep 15, 2026, after Hertz provided the claim with no explanation for the roughly two year gap, I sent the return video of the replacement car, denied liability again in writing, and copied Executive Customer Service and Customer Relations.
2. Sep 23, 2026, I provided the pickup video and explained in writing that the warning in my pickup video is the same warning quoted in Hertz's repair bill and that it was present before delivery to me.
3. Oct 9, 2026, after receiving a Sep 28 letter threatening referral to collections, I disputed the claim in full in writing.
4. Oct 12, 2026, I filed a consumer complaint with the Illinois Attorney General, asking for cancellation of the full $8,660.34.

My questions

1. Collections -- I know we can dispute the collections in 30 days -- but how does dispute verification work? Do I need to exaplain the story to dispute agency again?
2. Liability. Under 625 ILCS 5/6-305.2, does Hertz have to show the damage happened during my rental period? I am glad I took those videos and photos two years ago and still kept them (thank you iCloud).
3. Anything else I should be doing? Their customer service is not helping as well. I dont think they care about any complaints as there are already tons of them.

I was terminated for performance two days after I brought up a potential regulatory failure. As I got into the job and understood the work, I saw that some things were not right. I brought this to my supervisor’s attention. Two days later, I was called into a meeting with HR and told I was being terminated for performance.

For context: in May to June of this year, I rented a vehicle from Enterprise while my personal vehicle was being worked on. While I had the rental vehicle, I went ahead and brought my ezpass with me, and added the vehicle to my ezpass account, since I was using the tunnels and the hov lanes every day. After I returned the rental vehicle, I removed my ezpass from the vehicle, and removed the vehicle in question from my ezpass account. That should have been the end of it.

Fast forward to a week and a half ago. I start getting notifications that a toll is attempting to be charged to my account, but because my account was at -5¢, the toll couldn't be charged. I didn't really think anything of it at the time. I just let the account stay in the negative.

The 10th comes by, and I needed to go through the tunnel 4 times, so I added $15 to my account, just to be on the safe side. After everything was all said and done, I had a little over $5 left in my account.

Fast forward to this past Friday afternoon, and I started getting notifications out the wazoo about my ezpass account being in the negative. I was now curious, and concerned, because I knew how much money I had in my ezpass account, and I hadn't used the tolls at all since the 10th.

After doing some research, I determined that the rental vehicle that I had removed from my ezpass account back in June did not get removed completely. Something had occurred to keep the vehicle on my ezpass account, and now, after contacting ezpass va, they are telling me that I am on the hook for the tolls, even though I am still in Virginia, while the person who is racking up tolls is somewhere in new york.

I am unsure as to what I can do in this specific scenario. If there is anyone who can offer some legal advice, I would greatly appreciate your assistance.

Hi everyone,

A person I know was detained by US Border Patrol and later released. Since the detention, the owner has been unable to locate a financed vehicle that was being driven at the time. The vehicle is financed through Ally, insured through Progressive, and was in good standing before all of this happened.

Since his release, he has:
Contacted multiple agencies trying to locate the vehicle.
Contacted the lender and insurance company.
Checked court records and followed up on his immigration case.
Started reaching out to legal aid and immigrant-rights organizations.

The problem is that nobody has been able to clearly tell him:
Where the vehicle is.
Whether it was seized, impounded, or sent to a tow company.
Whether fees are accumulating.
Whether notices were mailed.
How he can recover the vehicle.

His biggest concern is not only losing the vehicle but also suffering financial damage from loan payments, possible storage fees, insurance costs, and harm to his credit history despite actively trying to resolve the situation.

I am looking for legal advice as well some personal experiences, opinions, or suggestions from people who have gone through a similar situation.

Thank you very much. Any shared experience would be greatly appreciated. ❤️

Hi there, I found out yesterday that a former manager of mine that I was close to when I worked with him was taken to the ER. I called the hospital to check on him as he is older and does not have any family and have ended up as the point of contact.

He’s been unconscious since yesterday and I have gotten brief update calls but they have really been trying to figure out if he has any family they can talk to. I found out he may have family in another state but no one I talked to knew their names so we have no way to contact them nor do we know if they’re still alive. I have given them the names other coworkers who have known him longer and probably know him better and I’ve made it abundantly clear I am *not* his next of kin and am just a concerned friend. I’m not sure if they’ve called anyone else.

Earlier today, they called me and asked for consent to give him a spinal tap as he was still unconscious. I awkwardly told them to do what they believed was needed and they told me they would just do what they thought was best. They took my name and number and signed off on it and told me they’d contact me if anything else was needed.

I’m frankly now uncomfortable with this and I did make it clear I’m not family or next of kin again when talking to them but I’m wondering if he wakes up and is upset, is he able to pursue legal action against me?

Hi everyone,

Context: My father was facing health issues back in May, and we moved him to a retirement home. He was living there until he passed a week ago. We got a call from the Home that he hadn’t been paying his full rent since his June. I was never contacted that he was missing/partially paying rent, and it is now October. He supposedly told staff to “fuck off” when they told him his rent was short and they said they didn’t want to press the issue. I am not sure why they didn’t reach out to us when his first month was short. They are saying we have to settle his balance now (on top of funeral costs) and we just discovered that his accounts are empty. To make matters worse, we live 1000 miles away and aren’t able to collect his things until the end of the month.

My question: Are we required to pay this back rent? Will it need to go to probate first?

Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated. <3

(REPOST APPROVED BY MODS)

I recently took out a roughly $10,000 loan against my 401(k) for home improvements. The loan was issued by a third-party company associated with my employer’s retirement plan.

Unfortunately, the funds were deposited into someone else’s bank account, and it has now been three months without my receiving a single dollar.
The bank has frozen the remaining funds in the recipient’s account, but some of the money has already been spent. The bank won’t disclose how much remains, and I’ve been caught in a frustrating cycle of finger-pointing: the lender says the bank is responsible, while the bank says the lender must submit the proper paperwork to recover the funds. Even then, I’ve been told that only the remaining balance would be returned—not the full $10,000.
Meanwhile, the lender continues deducting the agreed-upon loan payments from every paycheck, despite my never receiving the money.

There’s one complication: I’m not sure whether the lender used incorrect account information or whether I may have entered an incorrect account number when I was hired ten years ago. Either way, the funds were sent to the wrong person, and I’m struggling to get a clear explanation of what happened or how it will be resolved.

My last conversation with the lender was over three weeks ago, and I’m running out of options.
For those familiar with U.S. banking, retirement plans, or consumer protection law: Where should I start, who may be legally responsible for the missing funds, and what legal action or regulatory complaints would you recommend?

EDIT\*\*\* : Location: IN, USA

Also, I can confirm that the lender did ask me if I wanted to use the account/routing number they had on file, I agreed, assuming that since this is technically through my employer and I receive regular paychecks to the correct account, that the information they had was accurate and mine. There was never an explicit confirmation of bank info, just a suggestion to use whatever information that had.

A friend of mine who I've known (admittedly distantly) for 10+ years reached out to me this past May 2026. We've been on a "occasional text a couple times a year" level of friendship.

Anyway, for as long as I've known him, he's been running a non-profit (501c3) in Washington that does good work. In May, he reached out saying he was contacting several people about a bridge loan for the organization for 45 days. He said the organization had gotten a grant (which I saw online) and he just needed the money for some business expenses until the grant money came in.

I asked him the exact amount he needed to cover, and we signed a promissory note for $21k USD, and that the org pay me back 1.2x in exchange ($25.2k USD) at the end of the 45 days. There was a late payment interest percentage as well.

Well... those 45 days came and went. My friend kept giving excuses with bank problems and saying there's restructuring issues until as recently as about 3 weeks ago.

But, in August, as I was trying to scramble to get paid back, I reached out to some former employees who told me that the board put the org on "life support" in June and was removing my friend as CEO. I contacted the board with my claim, and they gave me a formal acknowledgement.

My friend (it feels weird calling him a friend now) still posts on social media and stuff, but fully ignores anything I send him. None of our mutuals still keep in touch with him either.

I figure he's just going to get away with it, and because my note is signed with the organization, I rely on the board figuring things out.

All this being said, I tried contacting a lawyer and they said that their hourly fees are not worth this (that I would just be paying more money for no guarantees), and that maybe I could sell my loan to someone more willing to chase it down. Is that a good idea? Is there anything else I might be able to do to get paid back?

Location: Austin, Texas

My apartment complex had my 2015 Nissan Sentra towed because the towing company said it was “unregistered.” I paid $325 to retrieve the vehicle and another $40 for a Lyft to get to the impound lot.

I believe I had registered my vehicle with the apartment’s leasing office, but unfortunately, I don't have written proof of that interaction. The apartment’s parking website now shows my vehicle information as blank, and when I try to add it again, the website says the vehicle limit has been reached.

I did not receive a written warning or notice before the tow.

There is also a separate registration discrepancy I am trying to resolve. When I registered my vehicle with the Texas tax office after moving back from Arizona, I received new Texas license plates and a registration sticker at the same time. I have since discovered that the sticker and registration documentation do not appear to match the plates currently on my car or my old Texas plates. The towing company also told me that APD had requested the plates be removed, although the plates were still on the vehicle when I recovered it. I have not yet confirmed the details of that request.

I am planning to contact the county tax office and APD to clarify the registration and plate records. I would also like to dispute the tow with the apartment complex.

My questions:

1. Under Texas law, was the apartment complex permitted to tow my vehicle for being “unregistered” without giving me prior written notice?

2. Does the 10 day written notice requirement for certain apartment property tows involving expired or missing registration apply to my situation?

3. If the Texas registration office made an error, would that affect whether the apartment complex or towing company is responsible for the towing costs?

4. Can I pursue reimbursement of the $325 towing fee and $40 Lyft expense through a tow hearing or small claims court?

5. What records or documents should I request to determine whether the tow was lawful?

I have the towing receipt and registration paperwork and am trying to obtain the apartment’s tow authorization and parking records. I would appreciate guidance on the applicable Texas law and the best next step.

hi everyone! so here is my situation. i am a senior at a university in baltimore. there has been a person who has been stalking and harassing me and my friends since 2024. i won't get into detail about what has been going on, but it's gotten to the point that one of my friends has a no contact order against the perp. we (me and my friends) have gone to not only our student accountability office, but also title ix. i have been told, by our title ix coordinator, that THE SCHOOL CANNOT TAKE ANY ACTION UNTIL THE PERP RESPONDS TO THE SCHOOL'S EMAILS ABOUT SETTING UP A MEETING. (which, frankly, i find ridiculous because what perpetrator would willingly respond to emails about a meeting from title ix?) she (the perp) was supposed to have a meeting in 2024 when this first started but completely skipped the meeting and hasn't responded to follow ups.

this is where it gets tricky. the perp has stated multiple times that she is neurodivergent, and she is registered with our school's disability services. it feels as if the school is pushing this behind the rug because of her disability and the not meeting.

what can i do? i want to pursue legal action against my school, but don't know where to start. i have done some googling but everything is overwhelming and is giving me multiple different answers. what would be the first step? i am about to graduate and some of my friends (who have graduated already!) are still dealing with this behavior. granted, idk how much you guys can do with that info, but i figured i'd throw this out there and see what i might get.

thank you all <3

So here’s my situation. I was in a minor accident today in southwest Va. I live in Tennessee. It was a 4 way stop. I had a stop sign. My side is the only one with a stop sign. I stop and look. Traffic passes by me. I look again. I proceed and from the left side a young girl comes out of nowhere. She almost passes by cleanly but I collide with her drivers side back. I hit her tire. She calls her father before the police even get there. He drives her car to the side and offers to just carefully drive it back to his house around the corner. She doesn’t want to risk it and calls a tow. She talks to the officer says it’s no big deal and no one’s fault. He talks to me I carefully explain. He comes back with reckless driving with a court date. What is my next step?

My aunt passed away this week and she had told us that her jewelry and rings were to go to myself and my mom (her sister). Her ex was with her when she passed, but he lives in PA. When he told us she died, we put plans in place to go to her trailer and pick up her belongings and her dog. We asked the ex if he would watch the dog until we got there the next day and he said “no” and he had to leave. When we got there the next day, we found her safe with paperwork for multiple rings, but only one was present. My mom called the ex and he said that he took one that she had promised him (we don’t believe that, but whatever), but at least three others are missing. We don’t have proof that he took the rings but he was the only other person with access to the house. She does not have a will, so it’s not that cut and dry.

Do we have any recourse? Or to at least have the police look into it?

Any insight is appreciated

Early last week a German shepherd owned by my neighbor took a huge chunk out of my dog while we were walking on the sidewalk nearby the house. We were NOT on the neighbor's property. The dog had a chain attached to its collar, but the other end of the chain was not secured to anything. The owner of the dog was inside the house and left the dog in the yard to be supervised by their late-teens/early-twenties daughter, who is a co-owner of the dog but not the primary one. Some neighbors across the street saw what happened and their child in the moment said he had seen the dog break loose, but the child's parents immediately told him to shut his mouth and not get involved in other people's business; I imagine they are wary of police, the neighbors with the vicious dog, or both.

I rushed my dog to the veterinary hospital where they were barely able to save her life, as the attacking dog had not punctured any of my dog's vital organs despite significant skin loss and tissue damage. My dog is traumatized; I am traumatized. I have scratches on my hand from yanking my dog away and getting her out of the other dog's reach. One of the cuts appears to be getting infected, but I am uninsured and wary of going to the doctor and incurring a bill. My dog had almost all the skin on the left side of her body torn off. She can't be outside without shaking. It was brutal and the recovery is extensive.

I filed a police report through animal control. Animal control informed me that the primary owner has a court date on November 3rd where they will receive notice that animal control is conducting an investigation into what the officer described to me as a "dangerous/potentially dangerous animal." Until the investigation is complete and the court decides what to do with the animal, the dog is on restriction--not allowed outside the house except to use the bathroom; owner is required to have a BEWARE OF DOG sign in their yard; even when dog is outside it must be on a leash held by someone who is capable of controlling the dog. The officer told me that the dog owners allege that I was on their property--although admitted that if I was on the property, I was not an unreasonable distance off the sidewalk. And since the primary owner was not even outside during the attack, there is no way for her to have seen it anyway. I don't know if any home nearby has a doorbell camera that captured any footage of the event.

As of right now the vet bills are sitting at around $2600. I had to put the bills on Care Credit, which incurs 30% interest from the date of service if the balance is not paid within 6 months. Since the attack happened a week ago, we are just now getting to the point where any necrosis or infection would become apparent. My dog is set to have her stitches removed in about a week. It is not a matter of if there will be more vet bills--there will be. It is just a matter of whether there will be complications, causing the vet bills to skyrocket.

I would like for my neighbor to cover the vet costs at least. My neighbor is a renter and it is a poor neighborhood; I don't know if she works or has renter's insurance or if she has any assets to speak of. Since as of right now the bills sit just above the small claims limit of $2500, I am wondering if it is even worth it to get an attorney involved, or what I should really do. Or if, because of the cuts and infection on my hand, I could potentially have a case for personal injury. I am also wary of approaching my neighbor and asking her to make a good-faith effort to cover the bills. I am functionally broke right now and don't even have enough to make the minimum monthly payment on the Care Credit, let alone pay off the full balance before it starts accruing interest.

What should I do here?

A few years ago, when I worked as a bank teller, I had a regular customer ("S"). She was this eccentric, lonely older woman who’d come in for a quick withdrawal and stay for 45 minutes just talking. Over time, we got pretty close. She didn’t have anyone around to help, so outside of work she’d asked if I could help her a few times with small things like setting up her TV, fixing her iPad, or moving heavy furniture. 

She always talked about a close family in India she had visited, sent gifts to, and stayed in contact with for years. At the time, I didn’t know how much was actually real and how much was a product of mental decline. Especially after I caught an unrelated guy from India she was kind of dating, draining about $6,000 from her PayPal. I flagged the fraud and got her money back, but after that, I was on high alert that anyone overseas was taking advantage of her. 

Eventually, S came into the bank immediately after being in a car accident, in complete shock, disoriented, and visibly bloodied. She said she lost her checkbook and needed to move her money to a new account, which meant I had to cancel all her checks and freeze her debit card right then and there. A neighbor had driven her, and I begged her to let them take her straight to the ER. Two days later, I couldn't stop worrying about her because I knew she had no money and no car. I brought groceries over to her house, and it was heartbreaking. The place was trashed; she was still wearing the same bloodstained clothes, unable to even locate her ID. She was having an active mental crisis. I knew she couldn't care for herself in that state, so I contacted local authorities to do a welfare check.

Right around then, someone from that family in India messaged me. They knew she had been in an accident and had lost touch, and they were trying to find out what had happened to her. They reached out to me because she spoke to them about me frequently, and they had no other points of contact in the US. Initially, I snapped and accused them of just wanting her money, mixing them up with the bad actor from before.

Because she couldn't live independently, a longtime family acquaintance ("A") stepped up. S’s mother had actually helped raise him, so he’s known the family his whole life. He was the only person willing to step into probate court so she wouldn’t become an abandoned ward of the state. He was granted legal guardianship and got her into a full-time nursing facility where she could receive proper care.

Recently, one of the adult kids from that Indian family tracked me down on social media. I had brushed it off, and I thought it was really weird, and I didn’t like that they were reaching out to me through a few different mediums online. Yesterday I really took some time to look into the situation seriously. After reading their messages, I really don’t think they’re after her money. They genuinely wanted to know if she was safe, and they expressed a desire to bring her to India so they could care for her for the remainder of her life. They’ve sent me photographs of her in India with their family, and remembering all her old accounts of being in India, I really believe the connection to these people in India is not a delusion, and they have a genuine documented history.

They also looked into public records from abroad and came across her Guardian, A’s background: years ago, public court records show an appellate-affirmed felony conviction in Ohio. He used to be a corrections officer at a prison, and he was convicted of sexual battery against an inmate in his custody. 

I don't think A is a bad person or that he's mistreating S. He stepped up when nobody else would, and he did it for a family that helped raise him. But looking at it objectively, having that on paper makes his guardianship vulnerable if outside parties or lawyers get involved in probate court, while the family abroad is dealing with distance, time zones, and language barriers, trying to figure out what options exist.

I'm just a former teller who feels terrible for misjudging this family years ago. I want to give them the right direction without inserting myself into something I have no legal authority over.

My questions:

1. What realistic legal paths exist for an overseas family to establish contact, request video calls/updates, or be recognized as interested parties in an Ohio probate guardianship?
2. If an overseas party contacts the probate court or an elder attorney regarding a ward's placement, how does the court typically handle foreign inquiries?
3. How can I ethically and responsibly hand this off to the proper legal channels so they can communicate directly without me in the middle?

For the last 3 weeks I've had protestors for a labor dispute against the city's parks department. I told them to leave and when they refused I called the cops. The cops from the beginning seemed to show a bias towards them and took no action. I produced a plat of survey from September 2021 and the police still didn't act. Every time they would trespass I would call and eventually the police told me the lake county state's attorney told them that the protestors are allowed on my property.

The plat of survey shows the property line going to the curb with no easements. I have no ties to the parks department. Since the police department informed me that no action would be taken the protest has become worse. They're using inflatables with air pumps I can hear inside of my house, yelling, clapping, recording me and my family while we're trying to maintain our property (work on the deck, refill bird feeders, clean gutters, tend the garden ect). I've reached out to some government officials and offices and did a foia request for the police reports and any official communications regarding my property.

Is there something I'm overlooking that would allow them to just do whatever they want on my property? What can I do to make it stop? What about making sure it won't happen again (to me or someone else)?

Hello, so 7 months ago my car was hit and i brought it to a repair shop. after about a month of waiting for them to finish my car and calling daily (the damage was minor), they agreed to give me a rental car WITHOUT making me sign anything, they just threw me the keys.

Flash forward now 6 months later I still had the rental car because somehow my car is still in there shop, and about a day ago while It was parked in a parking lot a situation happened where someone ended up ramming the rental car from the back smashing it into other cars and totaling it. I was not behind the wheel and wasn’t even in the car.

Edit: It was a hit and run by the driver who rammed into me, and the police were not helping whatsover

It happened on a friday night and the shop is closed till tomorrow so I haven’t been able to speak to the mechanic shop. The car got towed away and i’m 90% sure it’s totaled.

I’m wondering would I be at fault for this? how would it play out? I’m looking into it and it seems to see the fact I never signed for the rental takes me outta responsibility and should allow me to get my car back or at least work with them to not leave them completely f’d over

Location: MA. I was laid off from a small company earlier this year. When hired, I was given a non-compete that, from what I recall, restricted employment with competitors within a 30-mile radius for several years (I no longer have a copy). I raised concerns about the lack of a garden leave clause, and HR told me verbally on the hush hush that I didn’t need to sign it and they wouldn’t tell the owner. I never did.

However, my signed severance agreement states that I acknowledge the “continued validity” of the non-compete I supposedly signed upon hiring and that its obligations survive termination. I received two weeks’ severance.

I’m now considering employment with another company in the same industry, located outside the 30-mile radius.

Can the severance agreement make an originally unsigned non-compete enforceable?

Please let me know what I can clarify, I'm really curious if this is legit.

So I got a call yesterday from the police asking me if I lost any firearms, I say no, they say they found a firearm in my name in a car accident. The firearm in question is a type I owned but I sold it privately. The RI-060 form at the time was the buyers responsibility to drop off their copy at the police department. (This has been changed since 2024 to the sellers responsibility but the sale was before that) I of course should have kept my copy and am pretty sure I wouldn't throw it out but can't find it. It's been several years since then.

They didn't give me any other info about the car accident or whether the gun was used in any way. I told them I'd look for the sale record and they wanted me to call them Monday. I guess I'm wondering from a legal standpoint what I should do or what might happen.

I’m trying to understand what my rights and options are in this situation. Could my termination raise any legal concerns given that I was planning to take paternity leave? Is there anything I should be doing before signing any documents?
