Long story short, I checked myself into a rehab center for alcohol abuse and depression from divorce. During the check in I wasn't exactly clear thinking. The forms I signed asked if I had a firearm in the car and like a dumbass I said yes. Security came and removed the gun from the car and put it in their safe. I completed my stay there and upon discharge I asked for my gun back. Security said they will not relinquish the gun to me without someone present who I put on the form when I checked in. I didn't recall signing anything so I asked for the form. They show it to me and there is no name on it other than mine. Rehab place says the only way I can get it back is to bring someone with me. Dad lives 2 hours from the center and I live 2 hours away as well.

What are my options?

Go back to center and call the local police department and have them present?
Can someone in the Smyrna area meet me tomorrow and come with me?
 
Technically aren't thy breaking the law by possessing a firearm inside of a mental health facility...? Anyways that sucks but kudos to you for identifying the problem and seeking help instead of going in a shooting spree like the media and everyone In the government thinks you would have.
 
Not being mean ugagrad04. . . I don't know you, for all I know is you could have just got out for attempted suicide. Maybe someone else can help you , good luck
