[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2089749, member: 42"] Maybe in showing how ridiculous the law is....I'll grant you that. I don't get your carpenter analogy...all combat vets walk around trying to sell 30 round magazines in a state that outlawed them almost 20 years ago? He chose to live in a state that has highly restrictive firearms laws. He chose to be in possession of LEO/Military marked mags, which aren't grandfathered. He chose to attempt to sell them, illegaly. He chose to admit possession of them to a police officer during a random stop. The way I see it, he was trying to cash in on the buying frenzy post-Newtown and got busted. Cold. Being a "combat vet" does not make one above the law, and it does not make one smart and beyond reproach. The law may be stupid, but you don't have to make it easy for them to pin the law on you. I will give him credit in that it doesn't appear that HE is the one playing the veteran card...he admitted he got busted fair and square...but others are on his behalf and it's distasteful. If I was him I'd be asking people to STFU. [/QUOTE]
