He's lucky they hadn't destroyed them or "lost" them.

I wonder how much the man spent in legal fees for the shakedown perpetrated by the worthless politicians to get his weapons back. They don't mention the ammunition and magazines; whether it's because they weren't returned or just bad reporting. I'd be interested in knowing.

Here's some additional information on the case. The owner was given notice that his property was to be returned, but agents refused to do so.

On July 12, 2016, according to Coleman’s motion, the DOJ notified Sheakalee that charges against him were resolved, and he was told to contact DOJ Agent Chris Wagner to arrange for the disposition of the firearms. He was given 180 days to do so. The letter, signed by Special Agent Michael Haroldsen, also noted that “all evidence, (all personal property, including firearms) relating to your criminal case will be destroyed” if no response was received.

Coleman said several efforts were made to reach Wagner before Wagner responded and said that he could not release the guns until he contacted his supervisor, DOJ Agent Isaias Rivera. Coleman said when he contacted Rivera, he was told the weapons would not be returned. (The guns were returned this year.)

Maybe they should just call them the Department. There doesn't seem to be much justice being done.

Gestapo has already been used.

This really sucks and sends a clear message to anyone thinking about getting psychological help. Especially in a place like California.

Until they are held personally responsible for their actions, this type of illegal and outrageous behavior with continue to occur.
