I thought that only the gun involved in the shooting can be used as evidence, not all other guns the shooter owns. But of course, I've been proven wrong in the past, several times, so there!

It depends on the jurisdiction. If in an unfriendly environment, government employees might well clean you out to demonstrate your combative attitude.
I have to say in re the particular pistol, I would not buy a gun that I did not mean to shoot unless I took interest in a valuable antique. A new made pistol with sentimental inscriptions? Bang!
Danny. Very pretty gun. There is a quality of simple elegance that the Ed Brown's seem to have that for some reason the others (I own Ed Brown, Nighthawk, and Wilson on the high end) don't. I can't put my finger on it, but I'm sure everyone who owns one knows what I mean. Your selection of grips was also an excellent call. It really is a striking pistol, even displayed upside down. I have to agree with some of the other posts, though. It's far too nice looking a pistol to hide in a safe where no one can admire it. If you are not going to shoot it, it needs to be in a presentation or shadow box or something. It wants to be seen.
And, John, since the thread took an interesting turn, you are correct. Only the gun used in a shooting, in any state, would be admissible as evidence in a trial. Any non-involved guns would be excluded, even in California where I live. Besides, I'm not sure what Ralph Irving Prescott's initials on the bushing would add to a trial anyway………...
Just like you own your instructor all your guns are subject to be presented to show your intent and state of mind. Remember your jury will probably have no clue about pistols but will sure to be impressed by skulls and other nonsense. Tipping point? Maybe not. Why be stupid?
