Why Did The NYPD Wait A Month To Confiscate E. Jean Carroll's UNLICENSED Gun?

The police action, however, did not result in any charges against Carroll, as reported by NBC News.

On February 15, Warwick, N.Y. police chief personally visited Carroll's home to address certain "open issues," one of which was Carroll's own admission on January 17 that she kept a "high standard revolver, nine chambers" by her bed without a valid license. Officer John Rader, in his report, stated that he "offered to secure the weapon at the police station's property for safekeeping." Carroll, accompanied by a member of her security detail, complied with the officer's request the following day. The firearm is to remain in police custody until Carroll secures a New York pistol license.

Under New York law, unlicensed possession of a firearm is a serious offense, potentially leading to felony charges with penalties that can include up to four years in prison. However, no charges have been filed against Carroll in relation to the unlicensed firearm. The reason behind the NYPD's delayed response to Carroll's January testimony and the current status of the firearm remains unclear.
