Heres my problem with this.
1. The police get a call, "hey my son is going to shoot himself with his gun"
2. Said police show up, detain the guy, and hold him in protective custody pending a mental evaluation.
3. Once the individual is removed from the scene, and kept in custody, he does not have access to his firearms that are his private property, in his home.
So, why confiscate them?
Once the individual is removed and in custody, thats as far as it should go. What happened to innocent until proven guilty? The individual in this case actually committed no crime at all, had yet to be evaluated, let alone gone before a judge.
As soon as you were released your property should have been returned. Never should have been taken in this case anyway, but if they didn't give it back without a fuss, or a hassle they overstepped their bounds IMO. Seek legal council, I belive your rights have been given a vacation by that PD.
