[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2536468, member: 4235"] The fact is they CAN take all your guns if they want in such a situation, and they can probably make the seizure stick in court too, at least for quite a while... certainly months, probably years if they really want to. It's as simple as labeling you a suspect and seizing them as evidence. The courts give police and DAs a lot of deference when it comes to the preservation of evidence. You see a lot of this type of thing in bigger, more corrupt cities on the coasts, where anti-gun philosophies are more prevalent. You don't see this type of behavior very often in Oklahoma... with the castle doctrine and stand your ground laws, if it clearly appears to be a self defense shooting, the police will typically not even put the shooter in custody any more than just briefly while the scene is secured and they make an initial determination of what happened. They are very likely to take the weapon actually used in the shooting though, at least until the official investigation is concluded. [/QUOTE]
