When watching the news reports of the cops going in to a house for anything, (domestic dispute, warrants, burglary investigation, illegal searches…etc) the first thing they look for are guns? If the gun is owned legally by a person in the house and not used in anyway related why would they seize the guns? …they don’t take the TV or DVR or car or the kitchen knife set. Why is law enforcement so infatuated with taking all the guns out of a house first thing?
Just asking... |

They want us dis-armed....that is their ultimate goal.
OH!....and to raise revenue , of course! |

I have never once seized a gun that was legal. I do however want to know where the guns in the house are when I roll up to a call. From my own experience it's an officer safety thing. I want to know where the things that can hurt me are and where everybody is when I'm at a call.

If you watch CSI or Law & Order, they always look for semen first.

They "secure" the guns.
I'd want to know where anything is that someone can use to kill me from a distance. |

Don't do anything stupid and...........nm, forgot I was in GD

As in all situations, it depends. If I there are guns within reach of the parties, especially in a domestic where tensions are already sky high, I'll ask the person to either move, or I'll grab the firearm, unload it, and place it away from them. I will ask who owns the firearms, but unless a crime occurs, or I have reason to believe the firearm was used in a crime, or is stolen, I leave them alone.

I make sure there are not any weapons that are accessable. nothing is "seized" the only time your guns are seized is if it is by court order, or it is evidence in a crime. so in answer to your question, they wouldnt. stop watching so much TV. |

View Quote Getting "firearms" into any drug search warrant isn't a difficult PC stretch by any imagination. But white collar or child porn? Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending the pederasts, but a firearm is not "contraband" in and of itself. And to say in a search warrant that a firearm is the fruit, instrumentality, or evidence of any criminal activity is a fallacy. |

Guns look good on a table during the press conference and make it easier to get budget increases.
Also - the government is trying their best to reshape the image of firearms ownership in the USA, scaring the populace into thinking that by owning guns, they will be subject to criminal prosecution for ANY firearms related wrongdoing. The end result after years of this abuse of gun owners is many people will simply not want to own guns because of the potential for criminal investigation and prosecution for the slightest violation or suspicion. We are entering the new age of the War on Gun Owners, which will assist LE in obtaining more and more budget and resources. |

It's one thing if they round them up so they know where they are and can control them. It's another and possibly illegal thing if they remove them from the premises.

Meh. I remember the cops telling my stepfather to leave after I called them about him beating up my mom. They let him load up all of his guns and most(if not all) of my guns and then drive out of there drunk with a warning not to come back. Fortunately he didn't decide to come back and kill us later.
I can certainly see why cops would take guns in certain situations. |

The guns aren't yours to take though. They're private property. I don't get it.

They don't always take the guns. Or even most of the time. Or even frequently or with regularity.
The circumstances under which they are have already been covered by another poster. |

Because they can, and we can't do anything about it.
Also, there is an ever-present, implicit threat of deadly force. |

where i come from, they usually take them to pin them on some other punk for intel, lest they catch an unlawful possession charge. but thats just the cops in Chicago. thats why i keep mine in a safe in a locked room. then they need a warrant..

I've never seen them seize kitchen knives, scissors, hammers, cleavers, axes, wasp spray, or any of the myriad of other 'weapons' that are in most houses. It seems odd to claim you are interested in weapons, but, only one specific type. I have no doubt it is dangerous to go to a DV call, but it seems to be a gaping hole in the 'find any weapons' policy when you are only inspecting guns. TRG |
