The government-issued handgun of Cavite Vice Gov. Jolo Revilla is now in the custody of the Muntinlupa City police.

Lawyer Raymond Fortun, spokesman for the the Revilla family,  handed over on Wednesday the .40 Glock pistol and the used bullet casing to Muntinlupa City police chief Senior Supt. Alan Nobleza.

The 26-year old Revilla said he was cleaning the gun inside their home on Saturday when he accidentally pulled the trigger hitting him in the chest.

The pistol with serial number AABS154 is registered under the provincial government of Cavite at the Firearms and Explosives Office with an expiration date of March 31, 2015.

Aside from subjecting the gun for ballistics examination, authorities are also considering Revilla to undergo paraffin test.

A special team of investigators formed by National Capital Region Police Office director Carmelo Valmoria has yet to  determine if Revilla’s case was an accident or self-inflicted.

“This is part of the police work to look on any medico-legal incident, whether those involved are known personalities or ordinary people,” said Valmoria.

Jolo has yet to submit a sworn affidavit about the incident as he is still recuperating at the Asian Hospital and Medical Center in Alabang, Muntinlupa, where he went through a two-hour operation.

Doctors attending to him said his condition is stable and improving.
