(725 ILCS 165/2) (from Ch. 38, par. 161-2)
Sec. 2.
When the defendant is brought before the court, if the charge
is controverted the testimony produced on both sides shall be heard.
When it appears to the court that the defendant has threatened to use any
firearm illegally, and it appears to the court that the surrender of
such firearm would serve to keep the peace, the court shall order any
firearm taken from the defendant to be kept by the State for safekeeping
during a stated period of time not to exceed one year. The firearm or
firearms shall be returned to the defendant at the end of the stated
period. If such firearm was not seized when the defendant was brought
before the court, the defendant may be ordered by the court to produce
such firearm for safekeeping as provided above, and upon failure to
produce such weapon within a time period established by the court, the
defendant may be punished by the court as a contempt.
