[QUOTE="Jack T., post: 2807125, member: 412"] This is a problem for me. . .and I'm cynical. I don't think that any of us will disagree that if the LEO wants to disarm you, you will be disarmed. If you don't surrender the firearm peacefully, you'll be in more hot water. If you press the issue via an attorney, it becomes expensive. Is the average judge in Oklahoma gonna accept the "officer safety" argument? So. . .here are the options: 1) you peacefully surrender the firearm, even though *legally* the LEO may not have authority to take it 2) you don't peacefully surrender the firearm, and it gets worse/more expensive from there 3) you peacefully surrender the firearm, take it to court, and lose 4) you peacefully surrender the firearm, take it to court, and win. In all of those scenarios you surrender your firearm. In three of the four, you surrender your firearm and spend a bunch of money, too. The reason this is so much of a problem for me is because of the "what value do I place on my civil rights" question. My answer is "they are priceless". . .so as soon as I surrender the firearm, there is no course of action that can reverse that to the way it was before. I forever will have been forced (possibility illegally) to surrender my firearm to the State. So I hope the legal beagles here can continue to gnaw over the problem and come to an agreement. Or maybe I should start putting pressure on my rep/senator and on OK2A to add a bit into the SDA clarifying this question. [/QUOTE]
