All in all they took over 100 items (only 20 or so were the allegedly stolen property). No warrent was shown, no receipt was given, and a few items disappeared on the way to the station.

I encouraged my parents to pursue the matter legally, but they're too afraid that it wouldn't take much for these corrupt cops to fabricate evidence of crimes and put my folks in jail.

It's not uncommon for LEOs to confiscate every firearm and other 'dangerous weapon' on the premises. Just about a year ago the police raided my parents' place because my brother (still living with the parents) had allegedly received some stolen property. They took the stolen property and several items that were not stolen - including a sword, an axe handle (hillbilly home defense baseball bat), 3 rifles, a shotgun, and a handgun.CA_Libertarian wrote:
Wait, why would I have a need to buy another one?dngreer wrote:However, the reality is that the gun will be seized 99.9% of the time in cases like this. It's a good idea to keep at least one other gun in a secure place (safe, bank vault deposit box, etc). Or just know which friend or family member would be willing to loan you a gun until you get yours back.
It sounds like they'd take ALL the guns in your house?
