There is no legal reason for him to confiscate the gun provided we're being told the whole story. If he wished to run it through NCIC then that would have taken only moments (I routinely have it done on guns I get by an officer I'm friendly with). I'd threaten them with lawsuits and big teams of NRA lawyers if they didn't give it back right fast, and if they don't, follow through and sue them into next year.
