[QUOTE="shooterdave, post: 753368, member: 3128"] Not only is this funny as Hell, It makes a good point. One's intentions are as important as the act itself. I have worked for the Dept. of Corrections for a decade now and can tell you that PO's don't have the time to worry about this kind of crap. If the person driving is licensed to carry and has control of the weapon in THEIR vehicle, and no crime has been committed... NO ISSUE. To those who say that you shouldn't ever be riding with a convicted felon; I say this: Oklahoma ALWAYS is in the top four for Male and number one for FEMALE incarcerations. This means that the chance of riding with a convicted felon is basically greater here than any other state in the union. Does this mean we have more "bad guys and gals"..NO It means that we have seriously strict laws and seriously tough Judges. Don't be so quick to condemn someone because of their past. Let their actions and INTENTIONS be what you judge them on. Then make a decision if you want to interact with that person based on that. Just like anyone else. If the Dept. had known HALF of the stupid crap I did as a youngin', they probably wouldn't have taken a chance on my dumb ass. And just look how good I turned out!!! :hey3: [/QUOTE]
