223 Gunner
Master
This is an argument that will never make sense to me. I have no reservations about having an expensive pistol tied up in an evidence room because it did what I needed it to do...and I will just use one of my others in the mean time and be glad to be walking the Earth instead of 6' deep in it.
If this line of thinking were valid I would be looking to trade Ed Brown and HK for HiPoints...
Guns are expensive, you may change your mind if it was ever confiscated and you got it back in poor condition. You cannot sue the PD for not taking care of your gun, and they won't. I have heard stories of anti-gun cops in charge of property rooms that take guns and pour water on them or somehow get them wet and then let them rust. Don't know if it is true or not, but I will not take that chance myself, and continue to carry a Glock for that reason and many others. Just my , if you don't mind taking the chance with your Ed Brown then that's your choice, there are too many variables involved with PD's in charge of your property. Also the nice stuff like that sometimes comes up missing or "lost" and you never see it again. A cop is less likely to steal something common like a Glock, and yes LEO's are people too, they do steal.
