This question is about Red Flag compliance on the part of the person being targeted. I understand different states may have different RF provisions, but I'm curious about implementation.
Suppose local LEOs show up early one morning, present you with red flag paperwork, enter your house (you DO NOT fight them!) find some guns and take them. I don't know if they ask you to sign anything or ask you any questions, but if they do, you attempt to call your attorney - if they prevent that, your response to everything they say is "I wish to speak with my attorney." You don't sign anything.
1. They don't find ALL of your guns. Should you keep your mouth shut and NOT tell them they missed a few as they're leaving? (What if the ones they don't find belong to your spouse, not you?)
2. You are not charged with any crime. You are not informed that you are being investigated for any crime, you've never been convicted of a crime, you're not a druggie or illegal alien, so red flag notwithstanding, can you still answer "NO" to all the usual questions on a 4473 form?
3. Are red flag orders reported to the federal NICS database, and do they become a disqualifyer?
4. If your state still allows private sales, can you obtain another firearm that way?
