Re: gun placed in property for safe keeping?
Based on what facts you have given me, it appears that the only felony they might have been able to charge you with is Driving While Your License is Revoked as a Habitual Felony Offender.
However, the gun is unrelated to this charge and should be returned to you. Since they will not give it back, you will need to have your attorney file a Motion to Return Property.
If you are in the Central Florida area, please feel free to call me at (407) 625-4676. I would be able to handle both the criminal charges and the return of your gun.

Re: gun placed in property for safe keeping?
It depends on which police agency you are dealing with but you will most likely have to wait until your case is over. Upon conclusion of the case just ask the judge to have the court event form reflect the gun should be released to you. However if you are convicted of that felony you will have to make other arrangements for someone else to retrieve the gun as you cant even touch your gun if you are convicted of a felony.
