I was indicted by a Grand Jury several years ago for a Class A Felony. The judge ordered me to turn in my two firearms within 48 hours which I completed.

After proving that the allegations were false, my attorney soon obtained a dismissal of all charges. I received the runaround for a while and finally got official word back from the Sergeant in charge of Firearms in HPD/Records.

He informed me that although I have my dismissal paperwork, the judge never actually ordered HPD to return my firearms to me. He told me I would need to petition the Courts to have HPD ordered to return them in order for me to get them back.

My criminal defense attorney suggested against the Sergeant’s requirements. Cost, me blasted on the news again and the fact that he’s never been required to do that for others he represented were his reasons.

Any suggestions?
