This is a good reminder to always have at least two carry pieces in case something like this happens.

There are many good reasons to carry a BUG, but I'm not going to ask how having such would have benefited him in this specific case.

Further, I will look very unkindly on it if anyone suggests that the use of lethal, self-defense action would have been appropriate to this regard.

While the victim has most likely seen where he might have handled things a bit differently, I seriously doubt the above would have been a consideration.

I believe he was suggesting NOT a BUG on person, but rather another tool in a separate location where one could still have a firearm available as a tool of self-defense UNTIL such time as he was able to REPOSSESS the one seized.

This was what I meant. Maybe I could have been more specific.

I was very confused until I realized the acronym lol. I do have another handgun, but I just kept in my night stand where it usually is. The gun they took was just of much more importance and value to me, while also being the one that I carry. I'm still waiting on my holster, so I can't currently carry it on me. I decided to sell off my extra holsters a few months back and I'm definitely regretting it now. I'm considering just buying a cheap one until I get mine back.

I believe that the gun is registered now.

Promptly sell that gun to a reputable gun dealer and buy a new one.

Do not believe any cop who says that they have no record of that gun in any state database.

Consider that gun radioactive.

I don't see how it matters. The PERSON is now "registered" as a gun owner. They won't care which guns he has when they "come."
