Requiring a court order to return firearms is a common tactic of anti-second amendment police. A court order can easily cost a thousand dollars, more than the cost of most firearms. Thus the requirement of a court order becomes a form of legalized theft.
"They have no right to keep his guns," Gutmacher said Friday. "I've seen this happen in many areas around the state and usually an attorney gets involved and they (the police) have to release the guns."

Chitwood has refused to release the firearms until Bontempo gets a court order.
While Chitwood said the agency is aware of state statutes and the 2009 McCollum opinion, the issue is one of community safety versus the rights and interests of one person.
