If guns all went back to the owners in these scenarios then gun shops wouldn’t be buying large lots of guns from police departments evidence lockers. Most folks don’t know the serial number of their gun. Without proof of ownership you aren’t getting your gun back. If you’re betting that the officer who takes your gun in a scenario where you had to legally use it has written down your serial number correctly then you have more faith in them then I. My buddy works at Emory. They have a strict no gun policy. So my buddy would take his gun apart when he got to work. While doing so he had a ND and shot him self. Atlanta and Dekalb arrived on the scene. After recuperating he started calling around to get his gun back. It took him 5 years because both agencies couldn’t find his gun in their evidence room. Evidence rooms are probably not staffed with the brightest officers. If in the event of having to protect myself I want the most reliable gun I can afford but would hope that day isn’t the day I’m carrying my Korth.
