Im new to this forum and live in prince william county VA, Ihave been looking for some firearms rights answers for awhile. Im 21 and was living and paying rent with my mother for a few months and we just started having problems and not getting along in general, two and half months ago i had my ruger 22 rifleand my brand new colt 45 taken from me by the cops after my mom called them while we were having an argument, i had the 22 for years and she had bought it for me, but had told me not to get a handgun... but i did anyway.
Cops came and asked if any other firearms in the house, i said yes went with officer got the .45 and .22, he unloaded the .22 the .45 was not we went back upstairs where my mom said that i was irrational and acting crazy..which is total crap she was mad at me for having the gun, i was pretty upset at this point, (crying) as i'd been arguing with my mom, she wanted th guns out of the house or me out of the house, officers first said we cant violate his 2nd ammendement rights, i said fine i'll leave with the unloaded guns and goto a friends house to store them, they then wouldnt let me leave and then decided to take my firearms, the one officer kept trying to cooerce me intogoing with him and have my self checked (mentally)out at the hospital, i said forget it im fine, im just upset, they took my guns gave me no reciept that they took them and acted like i could pick them up at the station in a few day,
They police now say there KEEPINGTHE GUNS FOR 120 days "safe keeping" and can get them after that if everything checks out okay, I was not charged with anything at all and broke no law, ive talked to the officer and his1st sergeant and they both gimme the same120 day safe keeping crap!
please help what can i do!
thanks
