Return of Firearms & Forfeiture Issues
There are a number of reasons that law enforcement may have to confiscate your lawfully registered firearms. Your firearms may have been confiscated due to a Welfare and Institutions Code section 5150 hold, a response to a domestic violence call or other alleged criminal conduct. In most cases, time is of the essence in seeking the return of your firearms.
