[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 3398466, member: 25419"] Just for you and pstmstrbtr: 1. I'm not "mad" about "getting caught" doing something illegal. The cop stopped me for not signaling, saw some targets in the back of my truck, asked if I had weapons in the car. I would rather be an honest man in trouble than a liar, so I told him I had a pistol under the seat. (I was traveling to a crappy part of town, as I have for over 20 years to do my job) He promptly arrested me. He and some other JBTs went through my truck, after I was at the station. One of them was a friend from church, lol. They came to the holding cell I was in wanting to know how I got an autographed copy of "White Feather" ...they thought that was too cool. (it was in my truck because a co-worker wanted to read it) I think the arresting officer (young kid) was "spoken to", because he actually came and apologized to me as I was getting released. Said he should have found out I was a good guy before reacting. Fair enough. So - he was a dumbass kid that overreacted, I hold no grudge. Think about this however - I was arrested for doing EXACTLY what that dumb kid was doing. I had a loaded pistol in my truck. I was committing no act of violence, I was on my way to work. If that officer or any other was willing to seize me, seize my property and cause me monetary cost over something the Second Amendment "protects" - then how far off the rails are we fixing to go? It's about that time I realized any one - could be subject to a conviction, record, ruined life over an arrest that HAD NO VICTIM other than the arrestee. Fortunately for me the arrest was nothing more than a lesson that the state will violate your rights and kidnap you for a "crime" - whether it's a gun-related crime, possession of a plant, gambling, not wearing a mask.... There are "good" cops, I have friends that I believe are good men, yet they serve the state. When they arrest a man for a victimless crime, participate in a checkpoint, serve a no-knock warrant, they are acting as thugs, period. 2. If you want to know my "bad" experience with the police department, PM me. I'll tell you all about over the phone or over a cup of coffee. 3. Or - simply go ahead and make assumptions about me. It illustrates your ignorance better than I ever could. [/QUOTE]
