"Any person, except a convicted felon, may transport..."

So who is the one convicted felon who is not allowed to transport a firearm? My advice to convicted felons is to risk it, because odds are it's not you.

"Any person..." Well how do I know if someone besides myself is transporting a firearm in a vehicle at any given time? The text clearly does not state "any people".

So basically at any given time one person may transport a firearm in vehicle, unless that person is an unnamed convicted felon. Pretty clear the penumbra of that statue requires that one personally ensure he is not that unamed convicted felon and that he is the only person transporting a firearm in a motor vehicle at the time.

Jesus Christ, Shurley English














and Willy Wonka all appeared in the dream I had last night.

It would take a pretty chickenshit jury to convict you of it, too.

They're out there...

JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — Drew Peterson — the crass former Illinois police officer who gained notoriety after his much-younger wife vanished in 2007 — was convicted Thursday of murdering a previous wife in a potentially precedent-setting case centered on secondhand hearsay statements.

The trial was the first of its kind in Illinois history, with prosecutors building their case largely on hearsay thanks to a new law, dubbed "Drew's Law," tailored to Peterson's case. That hearsay, prosecutors had said, would let his third and fourth wives "speak from their graves" through family and friends to convict Peterson.

Hearsay is any information reported by a witness that is not based on the witness' direct knowledge. Defense attorneys said its use at the trial would be central to their appeal.

but wait, we have to AND those provisions

when they say "Rifle,shotgun or pistol", they mean "rifle AND shotgun, or pistol". So you can't legally transport a rifle by itself unless you have a shotgun as well, and vice versa.

Also to go to "clip,magazine or chamber loaded", then that means "clip AND magazine loaded, or chamber loaded"

ahahahah

Now I am thoroughly confused. Who is the criminal, defense lawyer?
