Bill - I don't mean to tell you how to behave or how you should load or unload your items from your car, but I know for me personally, the lower profile, the better. Legal or not, I just don't need the hassles.

At this point in my life, I can deal with the hassle. I am unmarried, and someone can care for my cat until I bond out.

Then it's MY turn I don't mind confrontations when I can win

This is crap! I hate seeing a collection in the hands of the idiots. I bet when they give him his weapons back they are scratched and clawed. Bill you are right stay legal and be proud.

I was loading up my gear for two weeks of deer hunting _ a toyota 4x4, no camper shell, everything in plain sight on a sunny morning, wearing camos and of course the last things I loaded were a couple of rifles in soft cases and one pistol in a locked hard case. I WAS wearing an empty holster... Seems some little old lady observed all this "suspicious activity" and called the local P.D. By the time they got to my home, I was on my way to the hills. I came home a couple of days later to find a police officer's business card on my door asking me to call him at my conveniance. When I contacted him he explained that he had recieved a complaint about the suspicious behavior... and I explained to him that I was a lifelong, licensed hunter and so on. He asked if he could come by and check out my weapons and I told him "not without a search warrant". He didn't like that very much, but when I informed him that I worked for the Dept. of Corrections and that he was welcome to varify this, he calmed down. I thought that this was over and done with, but lo and behold, just about an hour later, while I was doing some further cleaning of my legally taken buck and showing him to a couple of buddies that had dropped by, guess who pulls up? Yep, Mr. J.Q. Law. Seems the same L.O. Lady called to complain about me slaughtering animals in my front yard! When all was said and done, the officer and I had made plans to get together to hunt hogs on a friend of mine's ranch the next week. We had a good time and bagged two decent hogs. Guess where we posed for pictures? Yep-in my front yard! I wonder what the L.O. Lady thought of that? And I wonder how different it might have been if I didn't work for the Dept. of Corrections? Jeez, you think this nosy lady would have noticed my uniform some time in the past eight years... Still don't know who she is or where she lives. That's probably best... Peace and God bless, Wolfsong.

you have no idea what people think they see, and then report. i got a new scope on my 10/22, and showed it to my friends next door to where I worked. it had a 30-rd mag in it.

half an hour later there are police dogs and police searching the building and I get a call asking if we are being robbed. I said no, not that I know of.

I met with the police outside, they told me they received a report of MEN WITH MACHINE GUNS robbing my work.

I (finally) put 2+2 together and told them about my new scope and how I was showing it to my friends. The police asked to see the gun, I showed it to them, they asked me to be more discreet next time.

no sweat.
