You have lost your license (probably both your carry and driver's) and good riddance to them. You are one who gives the good guys a bad name.
Oh, a little salt for that wound: it is very likely you will never see your gun again. they can keep and destroy it because you were carrying it illegally.. your CC permit is invalid because you were drunk and carrying.

They will probably take it from you, but not for you. It just happened here. A guy was pulled over and arrested for DUI and illegal possession of 3 loaded guns while intoxicated. None were on him, they were just in the vehicle. He just got sentenced to 3 years prison. It's doubtful he even knew the guns were still in the car, but maybe he did. At any rate, he was not going to use them 'cause he could not reach them.
If the cops don't find your gun, the tow truck operator probably will. If you are extremely lucky, he will leave it alone or put it in a safe place for you. If you get a DUI, you ain't that lucky!

This depends a great deal on what State your in. In a lot of cases where a gun comes into the picture the police in some cases will confiscate the gun/rifle and run a bullistics character on it if for nothing more than to have a record of comparison and a lead to the gun in case of an involvement. I say this in response to the stated D.W.I., booze and guns are a bad mixture, not to say your not responsible, but if your a licensed carrier, then you understand the need to be thorough. In some states like Texas you would definetly get the gun confiscated until you resolved the D.U.I. issue.
GOD BLESS/GOOD LUCK!!

Yes, you bet the police would take the firearm into custody. If you were convicted of the DWI, you could also be charged with a separate crime in many states. In any event, it would be grounds for revocation of the Carry permit, since you were convicted of a crime. You have to check the specific state for the consequences of possession of a firearm in a car if you are also DWI.

They would take it in to evidence. If the state, city or county you were in has a law prohibiting the carriage of a firearm, concealed or otherwise, while intoxicated then you're lucky if they don't charge you criminally and seize the weapon. (Meaning you don't ever get the weapon back again in addition to losing your CCW.) Many states that I've worked in have criminal statutes prohibiting the carriage of a firearm if your BAC is too high.
If you're only getting charged for DUI then count yourself lucky and stop drinking irresponsibly.

I would hope so. Drunk and totting a Gun is a real bad idea. Plus I really doubt that the cops would let you carry your gun to the drunk tank.

Yes, and in all likelihood, your CCW will be revoked by the state authorities, because in carring a gun and driving while drunk, you are a double threat to society.

In California, if you were legal to carry the gun, the police agency would secure it in safekeeping and release to you upon your release from custody.

Yes, and secure in into evidence for safe keeping. They would also file an affidavit with the state to have you CCL revoked.
