I was at the range with a friend of mine last night, and I got into a discussion with a friend of my friend's, a guy whose dad owns a check cashing business. He has been robbed several times, and the last incident was the one we were discussing. Three males walked into his business, one produces a pistol from the front of his pants, and they proceed to rob him. The good guy reaches for his pistol, and the other two bad guys pull their's. The robbers put him on the ground, take the cash, his pistol, and then flee. The good guy retrieves another pistol and gives chase. He wounded one of the bad guys, they ended up arresting the other two, etc. What was shocking was that they let the guys bond out, and were told to report back after Christmas for sentencing, so they were back on the street almost immediately. As shocking as that info. was, one of the interesting points brought up was that the p.d. showed up, confiscated good guy's gun, holster, and magazines. This shooting was over a year ago, and he still has not gotten his gun back. Not only that, but when you get your gun back, it will have the police department's case number of the shooting incident engraved on it. According to good guy, if they're nice, they'll engrave it on the inside of the magazine well. If not, it will be on the outside, on the side of the receiver, etc. This is another good reason to carry the C9, etc. for CCW. A $5-700 gun sitting in the safe for over a year, and then when you get it back there is damage from mishandling and engraving? I'd rather do this with the $150. C9 I have...
