Law enforcement must intervene and convince the court of danger. 

(edit:  law enforcement could in fact take a weapon from an individual being involuntarily Baker Acted for 72 hours if the officer deems that action appropriate. To keep the weapon any longer requires court approval.)

If you are getting baker acted, which is for suidcidal or homicidal ideation, then by definition law enforcement is trying to convince the court that you are a danger to yourself or others. I am pretty sure your guns are going away.
People get "baker-acted"  all the time without having their weapons confiscated. In 2016 there were nearly 200,000 baker acts initiated in FL.  I'd bet a small percentage of them actually had weapons confiscated, but I'd be curious to see the actual numbers if you can find them. 
The fact that so many people were deemed "unfit"  by baker acts and numerous other designations -- but still allowed to possess weapons  -- this is THE REASON this new bill was passed in the first place.
