If you have received an unconditional discharge then they should be returning all of your property. The judgement should be quite sufficient for them. If you have the original boxes, take them with you when you go to demand your stuff. Bring your lawyer, a chronograph and a mixed bag of pellets. If you haven't modified them, you have nothing to fear.
Failing that. . .
Sick your lawyer on them and sue them to recover your court costs, lost time and emotional hardship ('er whatever).
I have to wonder though, what did you do to piss them off?

Quoted from the Canada Firearms Center Website.
Usually, the manufacturer’s specifications are used to determine what muzzle velocity and muzzle energy an air gun was designed to have. This information may be available in the user’s manual or on the manufacturer’s web site. If the information is not available, individuals can call 1 800 731-4000 and ask to speak to a firearms technician to find out if the air gun is classified as a firearm for purposes of the Firearms Act.

I guess this situation shows, once again, that it is possible for airguns to be seized and checked by police. Fortunately, your airguns were not modified to illegal levels. The police may choose to check velocities before returning your airguns. This would not be the first time, or last, that I have heard of this happening (velocity checks).

A police officer is protected under the CCC if they "act in good faith" and "have reasonable and probable grounds" to feel a law has be broken. This is what the crown attorney would try to prove in court. The 12 charges might have justified the actions of the law enforcement officers, or maybe not.Aaron_2289g_guy wrote:i would sue there buttock after u get your things back

Maybe we can wait to read more about Lornce's 12 criminal charges. It might be interesting to read the entire story, or maybe not.

Yeah, Not to sound stuck up or anything like that, but sueing someone, especially police officers is generally quite a costly and time consuming thing. Often the threat of sueing someone can be all you need to get a settlement, however since police are well aware of legal maters that would not be a good thing. in the long run its always better just to wait, I'm guessing the reason why you haven't gotton them back yet is because of paperwork.
But yeah once we know the criminal chargers its easier to judge the situation.
on a slightly related note, if anyone gets a chance to take canadian law in school, do it, its a great course.
