It's a rotten situation, but likely not your most important concern after an incident, especially a deadly one.

You only forgot to add that you'll have your license suspended immediately and probably never get it back again due to "suitability"... so no more guns, no more self-defense, no more hobby, no more anything.
Be prepared to take up bird watching or maybe knitting instead.
So when I say that I carry cheap plastic in lieu of a valuable, irreplaceable gun... it has nothing to do evidence lockers or losing the companionship of your favorite gun for 6-12 months. It's much simpler and more mundane than that. I just don't wish to drop, damage, lose or possibly have stolen one of my prized, costly,
hard-to-replace-in-MA guns. No more, no less.
