Had there only been 1 suspect and that suspect was killed then there would be no reason for a trial and hence forth the declaration of a righteous shoot would be made sooner and the gun returned.I dont see how the home owners gun plays any role in the case of murder against the other caught burglar. His case is that someone died during the commission of a felony, he did not use the weapon to shot his partner so why does the home owner need to lose their weapon for the next 2-7 years while this case plays out.In the end the owner will probably move, the city may not be able to find them and then the city will destroy the weapon and the gun owner will be out money for something that was not their fault.I have up close a personal experience with this exact senario when one of our guns was stolen and recovered 3 days after the break in. The city of OKC never notified us that they had the weapon even though there was a case attached with the theft and the serial number was listed. We finally heard from them as they were getting ready to destroy the gun and after jumping through all sorts of hoops finally got the weapon back.Luckily I got it back and it is getting ready to head over to Olyeller for a update.</blockquote>
