On December 12, 2009 the local police were called to my home by my sister, who does not live with me. My mother was also present as well as my wife. I am not proud of that day but what happened next was sickening.
There was no property damage, no violence of any kind, I never once (in my entire life) threatened violence to any woman in my life. When the police arrived, all three women said exactly the same thing: I have no history of violence, at no time did I threaten violence, I have never been convicted of any felony or misdemeanor, I was not under the influence of alcohol or any other drug, I have never had a restraining order against me, and there was no request for a restraining order (in spite of several requests by the officers).
One of the two officers questioned me in my bedroom and I cooperated respectfully 100%. The officer asked me if there were any firearms in the home and I told the truth. I own a shotgun and a win .308 rifle, both completely legal. The officer frisked me, then directed me to move away from the area where I keep my firearms. He then informed me he was taking my firearms "for safekeeping".
The firearms were confiscated in spite of my peaceful protests and I was issued an itemized receipt nearly an hour after the firearms were confiscated. The receipt included two check boxes designating the reason why the property was taken: "voluntary" and "court order". The box marked "voluntary" had been marked by the officer.
I am waiting until after the holidays to pursue my legal options, out of respect for my family, but until then I am doing as much research and resource cultivation as I can on my own. If any brother reading this can offer any helpful information, I would be extremely grateful. May God bless you all.
