Police Took Your Gun After Using it In Self-Defense - How To Get It Back
Following a self-defense incident where police take your firearm, it will be held as evidence. Return is contingent on the prosecutor's decision regarding charges. If charges are filed and you are convicted, you may never get your gun back. If charges are dropped or you are acquitted, you must actively pursue its return, often within strict, unadvertised time limits specific to your jurisdiction. Failure to act can result in forfeiture.
