They confiscated it because it was not registered and they "didn't like" the way the other guns were stored. The 1891 Mauser hunting rifler was hanging on the wall under my dads US flag from his funeral unloaded and not touched since we moved in almost 18 years ago. My mom had his off duty snub nose .38 in her closet with 15 rounds of ammo, my wife's .45 was in its case in the night stand unloaded but with its magazine loaded in the same case. We were told because they weren't "properly secured" they were taking them until such time they could be "properly secured". I asked them who defines properly secured and in what way, their response was that I should know and they would not give me a direct answer.
As for the ATF the detective works on the ATF's Balto Co. gun task force. The county police where I live know all about it too but none of these agencies seem to give a crap.
