that's why i bought 2Me just sitting here feeling validated in my choice to carry a Taurus G2C
If it saved your life, sounds like you carried the right gun that day.Carried the wrong gun that day. They have a custom Glock
Thank you for your insight and perspective on these matters Denny. The wheels of the justice system, grind slow, but at this point, it is required to be there in the property room.The Courts do not care about that. If/when he is caught, he has a right to review evidence against him. The weapon used is one of those items. If we use a firearm against someone, it gets entered into property as evidence. If it is a department issued weapon, we'll never see it again, we are issued a replacement. If it is a personal firearm, like a patrol rifle, it could be years before I get it back. It's a self defense weapon. It was used to defend your life. It has done it's job. Write it off and buy a replacement.
Of course it should be promptly returned as soon as you're cleared in the shooting.I was involved in a self defense situation couple years ago. Taking a buddy to sell one of his guns. Long story made short my buddy was shot and I shot one of the aggressors. But now the guy who tried robbing us is still on the run and I tried doing a firearm retrieval but they denied it. Because he is still on the run. why are they still wanting to hold onto my firearm when I’m not the criminal here? They should run the forensics and return my gun right?
People hate it when when their wants are cancelled out by other peoples rights. Good guy bad guy the same rules apply.The Courts do not care about that. If/when he is caught, he has a right to review evidence against him. The weapon used is one of those items. If we use a firearm against someone, it gets entered into property as evidence.

Now, as far as after everything is done…
This is spot on. When my mower was stolen I ended up just buying another one, even though the perp was caught & it sat in evidence after I identified it. (The grass wouldn't wait...) It sux, but thats the legal system. Hopefully you'll get it back eventually: I now have 2 mowersThe Courts do not care about that. If/when he is caught, he has a right to review evidence against him.

BIngo...this is exactly why I don't want to carry an expensive firearm. I'll stick with a Beretta, a Glock, or an S&W M&P Series pistol...relying on one's that are both accurate and reliable, but not expensive!!!Exactly why I carry my inexpensive and common 92fs.
If it gets used and taken in an incident I can just go get another one and not be out much. Or it will be my excuse to buy a CZ.
