Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
No.
Commercial firearms transactions go through a special FBI database. The database used is not one that is available to other law enforcement agencies. Some of the information in the database is available to outside agencies through other files, but not all of it. For example, if a police officer was to run a "normal" criminal history on a person, it would show prior felony convictions but not other things like if you had been adjudicated mentally ill, renounced your citizenship, etc.
Chances are you are the best person to know if you are no longer allowed to own a firearm. If you have a specific question about a possible prohibition, feel free to ask.
Your information and the details of the contact are probably stored in the local department's database. If they are networked with other agencies, they all departments in that network would have access to the information as well.
If you were not charged with a crime, then the information would not be in a national criminal database.
The "power to kill" people does not come from a concealed carry permit. If you believe that, you are very mistaken on the law - both natural and statutory.
Probably.

If the case is still open (unsolved), no. A detective may show some piece of evidence or a photo of the crime scene to the suspect during an interview to get some type of response or information about the crime. Other than that, no one outside of the officers working the case, medical examiner and prosecutor are looking at the evidence.
You are a child. Your father has excercised reasonable discipline. If you call the police for this, you are the only person who runs the risk of being charged with anything (false report of a crime.)
Sounds like you've got a lot of growing up to do.
For what? Walking in public?
If you were intoxicated to the point of being charged with something it is unlikely the officers would have dropped you off at home.
