With any degree of luck, the upcoming SCOTUS case about NYC’s absurdly unconstitutional gun laws may end up exonerating your uncle and getting him out of Rikers and possibly off the legal hook. His Lugers are most likely beyond hoping to reclaim and/or already destroyed though, which is a massive shame on so many levels. I also wouldn’t expect to receive any of the compensation that you are constitutionally entitled to for government seizure of personal property, if the best case scenario comes about, without some more hefty legal costs.
I strongly urge that when transporting firearms across states that apparently can’t read the constitution, just deal with the FFL transfers to your new place or just keep them in your trunk unloaded and secured and don’t bring it up to anyone or advertise it at all.
