Sounds like a messed up situation, I wasn’t there so I can’t make a judgment call.
Hope they returned your weapon to you.
The AK is gone, I’m a ‘prohibited person’ for another 9 some years. No guns. Even after that I won’t be able to get a concealed carry license which I had for 10 years prior. Deferred Adjudication on an assault charge bans you. In TX I’ll be able to have one in my car, but that’s it. In 9.. years.. For defending myself. The gestapo blows. The courts blow.
