Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr believes firearms should be returned within 48 hours after being cleared of a self defense shooting and is going to put pressure on legislators to enact a law that ensures firearms used in self-defense situations are returned quickly to their law-abiding owners.

Currently, there is no law in Wisconsin for the return of a firearm to law abiding citizens so, if you’re involved in a shooting, you could loose your firearm to the law enforcement agency that confiscated it, or have to file a lawsuit to get it returned.

Please join me in writing your representatives demanding a law be passed requiring law enforcement agency to return the firearm within 48 hours once a law abiding citizen is cleared of a self defense shooting.

I would think that the police do not have control of the guns at that point ... the DA\SA does.

I'm betting the police evidence room has it. The state attorney may have a say in the matter, but once he gets a no-true-bill or decides not to prosecute, its time to return the personal property.

I've seen way too many reports of PDs holding onto guns on spurious reasoning.
