I received a reply from Deputy Haley. He is standing by his actions, but refuses to comment on an ongoing case.
I asked his permission to post his replies to me on this forum, but until then I can ony say that it seems that someone told him the silencers were being used or he witnessed something else not revealed in the original post.

Neither of us remember exactly what the words were when the officer first approached us. How I remembered it he first asked who 'was shooting silencers', to which no one replied. Then he said 'okay, I'll ask another question...who HAS silencers' and we both replied honestly. I brought that up to my friend as well but he was convinced that they were not under the impression we had been shooting them because they never made mention of it. I even tried to explain that we had not shot them and therefore not broken any laws, and thats about when he started telling us that it was a felony blah blah blah.
I tried calling and emailing Haley and when I finally got ahold of him he would not discuss the case and merely said the silencers were in evidence and that the prosocutor would have to give them back.
His sargent also made no mention of this either so although until and if they charge us, we won't know what they think I guess.
All I can say is I argued the point that they had not been shot. Haley did not say anything about us having shot them. In fact, it was when I told him that it was only breaking the law if we shoot them in the state, that he shook his head and began with the felony for posessing them. I honestly believe it was the first time he had ever heard about it being against the law to shoot them.
Either way, everything I know has been put out there. I really wish he would say exactly what they have been doing the past week with my property if the case hasn't even been sent to the prosecutors office yet? Are they still trying to figure out how bad it will make them look when they are told to give them back by the countys prosecutor?
All I can do is ponder.
No other news. I think I mentioned I had someone speak with the prosecutors office and they seemed to have a good understanding of the language used in the RCW but that the case had not yet been sent to their office. He reassured me they would be returned, may just take a little time. Either way I am going to talk with some family friends who work within various political groups in WA and find out what if anything I (and anyone else willing) can do to get something on paper and in the publics eye.
