What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
I was arrested in AZ with a small ammount of personal marijuana while riding a bicycle without a tail light. The officer asked me if I was carrying any weapons, and I told him that I was carrying a legal concealed firearm.
I was just arrested and released without a court date or any papers with charges. So I don't even know what I am going to be charged with yet (but I assume at least marijuana possession). The gun I had was legal, and I am legally allowed to own/conceal a firearm in AZ. However, I am having a hard time finding out if I am facing additional charges for having the gun too, even though the gun is otherwise legal.
Does anyone have any experience with firearm/marijuana possession in AZ? Again, the ammount of marijuana was small, and then gun is otherwise owned and concealed legally. Also, I have no prior drug or weapon charges or arrests.
The police returned all my property, except the gun. I passed the Federal weapons background check, but the police are saying they can't return the firearm until the case is settled. Most people I know with no previous convictions are given a diversion program and a misdemeanor for marijuana possession, but since it is a possible felony, they wont return the firearm. Is that even legal??? I have not even been given charges or a court date yet (been 2 weeks). Since I have not been convicted or charged, shouldn't I have the right to my firearm back?
Thanks for your help and time.
