This is an example of why I say not to put a lot of money in your everyday carry pistol.
That way when it's "confiscated" (stolen) for "evidence", the bite won't be quite as much.
Sure, the government can make a list of "legitimate" sounding excuses, but in the end, it's nothing more than de facto theft.
Say for example I possessed something that belonged to somebody else for a legitimate reason.
Then my reason isn't valid anymore.
From that moment, I have an obligation to return it to it's rightful owner.
If I refuse by claiming I'm "too busy", "have to many other things to do", "gee, I forgot", or any other excuse, it would become theft I did it, and is theft when the government does it.
