Ok well to keep a long story short I was passing through a reservation about a month ago and my Glock 23 got taken from me.. I knew It was illegal for me to be carrying on a reservation but I was just passing through and thought I wouldn't have any issues but I was wrong and with hindsight I regret having my gun on me that day but anyways the cops were cool and just confiscated my gun baton and knife I was carrying at the time with no charges and they told me to go pick my stuff up from property when I could
Well im only 18 and for some reason no police station will release my gun to me I have to either have my parents get it or in the case of the reservation I brought my cousin to get my property..
Well as im filling out the paper work a narcotics officers comes out of no where and tells me and my cousin that a sensor that detects narcotics in the air went off so he searches me and my cousin and checks my tounge and eyes and says that im under the influence of marijuana which at the time was untrue I was not under the influence at all , but my cousin was high but the officer apparently didn't believe him to be high.. Well he takes the dog to search my car and finds my moms prescription medication and that was all..
Well he tells me that because I was under the influence of marijuana he was going to take my gun and melt it down.. I told him that my father had given me the gun and it was all I had and it softened him up a bit and he then told me if I get a certificate from a drug counsler and show him he would release my gun to me..
So my question is this.. Can he legally withhold my fire arm from me? there is no physical proof other then his conclusion of the way my eyes moved and my tounge was white can he still keep my gun? This is also on a reservation tho so I don't know if he can do this or not..
I know the ATF says anyone addicted to an illegal substance cant own or posses a fire arm but there is no proof I was under the influence and I was in fact not under the influence at the time so please help if you can
