1969912 0 #1 April 10, 2012 After work today I met a guy I know to give him my new AR-15 to check out for a couple days. My car was parked at the curb right downtown, and my buddy was standing in the street right next to my car. I got out of the car with the AR pointed barrel down, with the bolt locked open and an empty chamber (no mag). Right as I was handing the AR to the guy, a cop drives by. He slowed down a bit and just waved at us. If we were in California or Seattle or some other fucked up place, it would probably have been a bit different.

When I moved to the People's Republic for work I had to leave my favorite black rifles in storage out of state to stay legal. They were stolen. Fortunately I have replacement value coverage and will be able to get ones my government approves of. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #3 April 10, 2012 theft here in CA is a real concern - with models going on/off the "certified safe" handgun list, you may not be able to replace them. At one point I believe 3 of my 6 were no longer saleable/buyable, but eventually H&K and Sig paid the tax and got at least 2 of them back on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #5 April 10, 2012 What an unfriendly jerk! Most of the cops I know would have at least gotten out to see what AR it was and talk guns for a few minutes... --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Coreece 190 #7 April 10, 2012 Sorry to be a party pooper, but I dunno about that...I'm not comfortable exposing guns in public. It just seems unnecessary and can cause negative attention for both you and the perception of gun rights in general. I have similar feeling about hunting. The hunter's safety courses up here teach kids not to showboat and to conceal their game so as not to offend anyone and prompt them to bitch n' moan to authorities and bring negative attention to the sport. ...but I hear what you're saying. It's nice to just go about and practice your rights without having to constantly look over your shoulder and worry about some douche bags fuckin' your shit up...Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

usedtajump 1 #8 April 10, 2012 The town closest to us is so small that there are no cops and its not unusual to see folks, especially in deer season, go into the small general store with a sidearm on their belt. :-)The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

rhaig 0 #9 April 10, 2012 Quote What an unfriendly jerk! Most of the cops I know would have at least gotten out to see what AR it was and talk guns for a few minutes... I got stopped for speeding in a known speed trap in central TX once... I didn't notice the speed limit sign because I was driving with my knees while screwing new grips onto my 1911. (yeah yeah... I know...) So the officer asked me why I was speeding, and I told him I didn't realize that I was. Hand over DL & CHL... He asks if I'm armed. I end up showing him the new grips, and we chat about 1911's for a few minutes. He runs me, comes back, and send me on my way with a verbal warning.-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason they don't want people to see your guns and your game is that the rest of america has been pussified to be afraid of guns and dead animals. Don't ask them where their steaks come from.

Can you image a small town cop driving past a couple of young black men brandishing weapons in a parking lot with nothing but a smile and a wave? Yes, I can, if they are known in the area. I think (and we are talking small town now) if those you refer to are regulars of that area and are known to the cops the same thing would happen I also think that if I was doing that in an area where I am not known, and maybe my plate is not from the county I am in then I would exptect a good LEO to stop and talk to me Nothing wrong with stopping (if even with caution) to check things out. As for kevin 90% of blacks are killed by blacks destroys his position"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

wlsc 0 #25 April 10, 2012 ...Ugly, boarded-up homes, leaning hopelessly on their foundations are plentiful in urban and minority neighborhoods.. A new study finds this is most likely because the banks that own them are keeping them that way. The National Fair Housing Alliance released a report of their study that found foreclosed homes in predominantly black and Latino areas “were far more likely than those in predominantly white area to be left in disrepair,” the Washington Post reports. Failure to maintain the homes drives down surrounding property values, increases crime and promotes vagrancy... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
