I understand the purpose of civil asset forfeiture, drug dealers assets are almost entirely liquid, and being able to seize their cars, homes, etc hits them where it hurts.
But that's not what happens anymore, like my gun, or my buddy who gave his grandson a home after his parents kicked him out, only to have his home seized when the little shit started dealing meth.
Both stories are extreme and anecdotal, but the fact that either could and did happen highlights the problem.
The deal with your gun is wrong...and potentially criminally wrong.
The house deal....well, I sort of have to agree with the state on that one.
