Perhaps this has been brought up at times but I don't recall seeing it. Besides all of the usual functional and preferential reasons for choosing a carry weapon does anyone ever choose their carry gun based upon the possibility of losing it.
By that I mean that in the event you should actually need to use it in self defense you will likely have it taken at least for a certain period of time during an investigation. And I have heard stories of some of the mistreatment confiscated guns get. I would not want a prized and possibly expensive gun taken from me.
Do any of you use this as a final consideration in choosing that carry gun? Do you carry a gun that you would be less unhappy to part with for any period of time? I realize you would still want it to satisfy your personal criteria for a concealed carry weapon.
