They must follow the same weapons laws as all other citizens. But they are not allowed special privileges. Some bounty hunters and bondsmen carry guns - even mini arsenals. If a bondsman can't find the fugitive, a bounty hunter who works for the bondsman will try to track down and detain the bond jumper for a fee. In many cases, that can be tens of thousands of dollars. If an offender repeatedly fails to show up for court, the bond is forfeited and the bonding company has to pay the entire amount. Generally, someone can put down as little as 10 percent of a set bond, and a bonding company, represented by a bail bondsman, insures the rest. ►RELATED: Lawsuit: Bounty hunters rushed car with guns drawn A matter of money "But the why - what would cause these men to act so recklessly?
