I am curious as to what legal authority was used to seize the firearms if Giga's belief is correct. I want to believe Giga which is why I still stand by my original advice of contacting the department, get a receipt and police report and go from there. We small town folks don't have departments that can afford Internal Affairs divisions so I never thought of that angle but I would recommend going that route if you can not get the documentation needed to verify the guns were taken properly.

Not all medications have alcohol warnings, and CHLs can consume (especially on their own property), so I would think that in this case the OP made an honest mistake that almost got them killed. But contact the department and get the documentation, and based on your results there decide what to do. BTW, please keep us informed as to what happens.

First off, I would contact HPD one last time to request the status of the firearms and to get a receipt for them being taken. The results there would determine my next actions. If they acknowledge that they have all three and issue a receipt for all three I would then ask what their procedure is for returning the firearms and go that route. I would also get a copy of any police reports from HPD regarding the incident and look them over to see if the firearms were mentioned in them (They should be, and all officers involved can be determined from the reports). Otherwise I would contact the sheriff's office and report them stolen as mentioned above, I would also get a copy of the that report. If the S.O. doesn't doesn't seem to cooperate with you I would then contact the DPS and request they look into the issue, and give them copies of all reports.
