I would go to the station and get my knife back. There is another organization that takes guns away from people when they get caught violating the law. Those guns get tagged and are considered evidence to the violation in case it goes to court or in case the DA wants to prosecute. What 99.99% of people that commit a violation are not told is that after a certain time frame, you can go back and get your gun back. But, if after that time frame has passed and the original owner of the gun doesn't come back to claim it, they sometimes go into an auction that is not so advertised to the public. It's kind of hush hush, why is it that way, because most of those confiscated weapons are used by those who confiscate them as their own. If no one knows that the auction is going on, well, its more for them. I'm not saying that every organization is like this but I know of some that are.
I KNOW what the SDA says. Concealed means concealed, but, please show me where the law says an accidental exposure is a criminal act!
So, are you saying an officer has the right to stop ANYONE who is transporting a firearm to make sure they are legally transporting said firearm?? Does he also have the right to stop everyone who is drinking from a container he can't positively identify to see if they are transporting an open container??
Sorry, but I simply don't believe that!
You think the officer handled things "politely and professionally"??
Really??
You think you should have a gun pulled on you, shoved face down and handcuffed for an ACCIDENTAL exposure of your firearm??
Sorry, but I don't consider that polite or professional!
Did the officer exceed his authority?? Probably not, but he certainly could have handled it better!
And, PLEASE, don't tell me about officer safety and how he just wants to go home to his family at night! Heck, maybe he should just shoot everyone he stops before any of them have a chance to do him harm!!
Eh. Police chief are about as good as laundry mat owners. Never around when something needs fixin' but will always collect the change.
I'm kidding. People with actual knowledge and actual Experience to back up their statements are very appreciated. I have little knowledge and no experience so the things I say don't carry a lot of weight. But I am honest. Thank you for being a law enforcement officer.
anyways.
i dont think so, get a good lawyer and make it as public as you can and givem H*LL...
I'd definitely be willing to do what I could to make sure this doesn't happen to anybody else.
Tell them to not let their CCW be seen.
touche.
But you know what I mean. Be this my own fault, it is still a reason why OC would be beneficial.
Couldn't agree more on how much we need OC.
