bgtme, As a retired LEO, I would contact the supervisor for the agency officer that you originally contacted and ask for a status update of the case...
Next, contact the relevant County Prosecutor/States Attorney about his take on the case...While no assault or battery was indicated..., "Brandishing a Deadly Weapon" is usually covered in the statutes of most states...If you were put in fear of your well being by the attitude and presence of the other person's handling of the firearm, you may have a case, if you decide to pursue it...
The information about renter's property rights is pretty much correct, and the renter, regardless of relationship to the property owner, may have felt threatened by your demeanor, but I doubt if he has the legal right to detain your dog, or disable the GPS unit...Illinois does have a strange take on some laws though...
