I was at a friends apartment doing some PC work, I had my gun on me concealed which was ok because it was private property. I've been carrying more often with extra mags because some group has been threatening my life along with hers. At around 1 in the morning we hear a knock on the door. Mind you these people threatening us know where we live, phone numbers, email addresses and such. So I answered the door with my gun in my had only to be greeted by a cop who drew on me. I explained to him about the threats we have been receiving and even offered recorded audio of such events. At this point he claims to need to cal hit LT down and see what to do. In the end they place me under arrest and try to charge me with Felony Aggravated Assault. They hold me over night and when I appear in court they dropped the charges to just Aggravated Assault which is a Class A Misdemeanor in Illinois. Even after explaining to them numerous times we have had our lives threatened and police reports backing it up they still want to charge me. When they released me on bond after 1pm they kept possession of my firearm with 46 rounds of ammunition and my Illinois F.O.I.D. card even though I don't live in Illinois and don't even need the card legally. When I got back to my friends apartment I noticed my Wisconsin CCW was also missing and my MicroSD 32GB chip from my phone as well. None of these items where listed on their evidence check-n list. Now when I called them they claimed I had to speak to an evidence technician to get my property back. That person informed me they can't give me anything back until the case is closed then 60 days after in case someone opens an appeal. This is all completely absurd when I was the victim of threats on my life as well as my friend. IS there anything I can do? This is all down in Rock County, IL and the drive is 3 hours just to get my stuff after the case is closed. I wonder if the case is dropped if I still have to wait 60 days. Also the officer never said Police when he was banging on the door so I had no idea who it was. Never used the peep whole because I've known of people getting shot though the peep hole right in the eye when looking. Any ideas anyone can offer me to get mt weapon back. I don't feel safe without it in Wisconsin when these people claim to know where I live and I have no other means of protecting myself.
