More than likely they would get the warrant and you would be without the gun anyway. Why prolong the issue.

mumble mumble LAW mumble mumble CONSTITUTION mumble mumble RIGHTS mumble mumble TRAMPLING....

You get the picture.
 
I am curious, if you and your friend were walking down the street and were carrying concealed how did they get your gun in the first place and drag you in for questioning?

Irrelevant. The case is closed and the guy is convicted. The OP didn't do anything wrong, so let's not question his actions.
 
Believe it or not, he was very cordial towards me and told me to call him back if I have any problems

Cordial toward you? No way! A police officer nice to a mere serf!?!?!?

Wow, people. The way some of you think of the police leaves me dumbfounded. You are as far from reality as the Brady bunch

It helps to read the thread. In the first post, the OP said:

At first I told the detectives no, but when they mentioned a search warrant and made a few veiled threats, I bit the bullet so to speak.

The cop wasn't polite to him until a month and a half later after dodging his phone calls and the OP having to make up a story to get through. He was originally, how do I put this, "The way some of you think of the police".

It's not tinfoil bud, IIRC Tpaw is a cop. So that's one of their own telling you "waive your rights because we're going to violate them anyway if you don't "

False information Treo, I am not a cop.
 
@ SUBKNAVE: Read the original post and you will understand how they got my gun

@ Seargant Sabre: It's not that I mistrust the police, but they are humans and capable of making mistakes just like civillians. Nothing is inherent in a police officer that automatically makes them perfect. If you would have read the original post before commenting, you might understand why I am wary of these particular officers (not all officers)

@ lacoochee: I'm thinking along those same lines buddy

@ expvideo: +1 brother, you are one of the few who have read the original post in its entirety, making you able to understand my point of view. thankyou for your support
 
turbojohn41 asks:

tpaw they were just doing thier job in New Orleans also. right

Not having been there to know all the facts, I cannot comment.
 
I read the original post as: you were walking down the street smoking a cigarette. Your handgun was concealed (not visible) so how did it happen that they found out you were armed and confiscate your gun etc. I would have thought they had little probable cause especially as the perpetrator obviously looked nothing like you. I live in Portsmouth by the way and often carry concealed so the behavior of the local police concerns me.
 
Makes me sick that happened here.
I would have told them I sold the gun. Because I would have.
 
I say make them do it legal like, show me the warrant. It's not being stubborn, it's making them follow the right legal steps. I know that they don't like to be put out but tuff.
 
Glad to hear you got your gun back.

Since they didn't do you any favors and made no effort to return your property back, it make me wonder why? (rhetorical)

Personally I would let it go and purchase a new pistol and maybe even in a new caliber.
Paranoid, maybe but no real harm in CYA.

Best of luck moving forward.
