Confiscation scenarios
Being a Criminal Justice major, I took a course from a retired cop once and what he said with a smile on his face really disturbed me.
In short, he proudly talked about confiscating weapons during domestic disputes. All of this without warrants. One case was where a 3rd party called in on their neighbor for yelling. Last time I talked to an LE official about this, he said there was a few requirements that had to be met before any of this could happen. Do we have any remaining legal protection in these cases? I remember a few cases where the guy's wife concoted a story along these lines and in seconds there were several charges laid before the guy, his guns being confiscated being the least of his problems. I'm a returning veteran of OIF and this nonsense is really taking a toll on me. We had no trouble in letting each Iraqi family retain their AKs just so long as they pointed to where it was as we did the search. Last edited by Evan Thomas; March 7, 2013 at 12:12 AM.

Now, if an officer responds to a call at my house and it turns out to be nothing, I'd have a real problem with my guns being taken into evidence. Every situation will be different.
