The officer may have cut the tie off if I had asked. They used to store
and return weapons in neat, padded plastic evidence bags.

True. We need more women to stand up for their rights. I encourage you to
check a weapon in Glendale -- could be a handgun, or even a fixed-blade
knife. Pick a library. Go in and ask where the weapon storage lockers are
located that the City Manager, City Attorney and Chief of Police promised
would be installed. Tell them you have a weapon to check. They'll call
the cops, and you'll have to wait outside until an officer shows up.
Politely comply with whatever procedure the officer use to disarm you.
The cops are very tame now, as compared to the earlier checks. Be nice, so
the cop wonders why he is having to disarm a nice lady who just wants to
read a book.
To reclaim your weapon, go to the PD at 6835 N. 57th Dr. (right below
Glendale Ave.). The entrance is on the west side of the building. Go in,
walk down the hall, turn to your right and you will notice a phone on the
wall just past the "Information" station. Pick it up and tell them you are
there to reclaim a weapon you checked. They will bring it out to you.
Then you can ask them to cut off any entanglements they may have attached.
