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.

Ive personally seen the Baker Act used incorrectly enough times to distrust this new law.
