now that i think about it it is kinda stupid that they're trying to take away someones firearm without a warrant. i feel like the best way to have handled this would be to summon the guy to the sheriffs office or give him some sort of notice to relinquish his firearm temporarily until they waive the complaint against him. if he didn't comply then they would schedule some sort of police drop by date or something. obviously what happened isn't the best scenario, but it isn't the worst either.
