I'm currently overseas..

I got a call from my family today that my apartment was searched by the police under a warrant for possessing firearms, magazine, etc.

At no point did I take the airsofts outside of the apartment.. I wasn't even in the country. And I don't share my apartment with anyone. The apartment I'm in is still under construction on the upper floors, and contractors sometimes enter the unit... however, my unit is listed as do not enter unless owner is present, so I did not worry about it. I think some contractor ignored the notice, went in while I was away, saw an airsoft, and called the cops.

Anyways, they told me that the apartment was a mess, they turned everything upside down and inside out. The statement of what happened is available, but can only be obtained in person under oath.. and I am not even in the country.

It is legal to own airsoft, right?.. because I would think that the police would know it's a toy gun after just picking it up.. not sure why they did so much. Just to confirm, the airsofts has not left my apartment, and there's no neighbours that have a view into the unit.

Thoughts & advices?
