Hello I'm new to this forum I apologize if this post is in the wrong place and i thank everyone for their time. I'm the owner of a firearm that was used in a crime. I was asleep on my couch with my gun on my coffee table at arms reach had a friend staying over early in the morning before work him and his dad got into an altercation one of them grabbed the gun and in tussle the gun was discharged. The case has ended they no longer need it for evidence I was told I could come pick it up but to do so they have to take a picture of the firearm a picture of myself and a picture of me holding the firearm. I live in missouri here we have laws against the making of a firearms registry and I have not been suspected or convicted of any crime ever it makes me feel very uncomfortable to have to submit to this and from what I can tell this was the sheriffs arbitrary demand not a legal mandate or even police policy. Can anyone tell me whether they can refuse to return my belongings if I don't submit to their demands? Platte county Mo
