What it does
Existing law requires a peace officer to confiscate the firearms or other deadly weapons of a person who has been detained or apprehended for examination of their mental condition who is found to own or have possession of a firearm or deadly weapon and to issue a receipt. Upon release of the person who was apprehended or detained for examination of their mental condition, existing law requires the confiscating law enforcement agency to initiate a petition in the superior court within 30 days for a hearing to determine whether the return of a firearm or other deadly weapon would be likely to result in endangering the person or others.
