Answer 10

When dealing with firearms, first make sure that the weapon is unloaded, cleared, and safe. Then pack the firearm in a box specially designed to hold weapons in place. The outside package label must indicate that the weapon has been cleared. If the weapon has blood or tissue, mark the package with a biohazard label. Again, this label is important because it will alert the lab to safety issues and will also indicate that biological testing needs to be done before ballistic testing. Also remember that the ammunition from firearms should be packaged separately.

Answer 24

It does depend if there is blood on the weapon or not. Usually you would place it in a secure box, but if there is blood I believe you use paper to keep all the evidence protected
