(Martial law, as its name implies, means rule by the military on its own rules of engagement. No military in history has ever taken kindly to potential hostiles carrying weapons in the territory it's trying to quell and control. Nor should it.
Once civilian rule is reestablished, all those with permits to own and carry weapons should get them back, with no charges filed.

A citizen protecting his home is not a potential hostile....even in Iraq they allow civilians to keep an assault rifle for protection. The right to personal weapons for self protection predates the Constitution and the 2nd amendment (and there is a Supreme Court decision that states that). If there was ever a time these people need it , it is in a time of near anarchy when the political powers have failed to protect it's citizens.
