In the horrific circumstance of having to shoot someone in your home in self-defense, of course the weapon used in the shooting is taken as part of the evidence, right?
What about all the other guns a home owner may have on the premises? What if the homeowner had a large number of handguns, rifles, and shotguns (presumably all legally possessed, of course), are they all at risk of confiscation should a self-defense shooting occur in the home? Would it be wise to have a "misplaced" handgun or two in a "secret hiding place" under such circumstances just so one would not be stripped of ALL his weapons?
What about when you are out and about and involved in a defensive shooting? Would the police come to your home and take all of your weapons into their possesion? I understand that if you commit a crime or possess firearms illegally, of course they would be taken, but what about legally possessed firearms and a case of self-defense? If they even suspected the shooting to possibly be questionable, would they then confiscate all of your legally possessed firearms?
