    It's the same thing when you're carrying a gun. 

Probable cause to ask for ID is a long way from cause for arrest.

The trouble is, the only opinion that matters at the time of the incident with regard to legal basis is the officer's. Countless instances would indicate arguing that point on the spot has no value and only strengthens the officers's resolve. Being a dick about it just makes it worse.

Tough crowd. :D

Most homeowner's insurance policies cover firearms up to $2500, with $1500 max per individual, and subject to you deductible. My insurance (State Farm) said I should get a separate personal property policy, which would cover guns, jewelry, artwork, musical instruments, etc. Every item covered has to be documented via description, photo, serial number (as applicable) and value. All values had to be substantiated and any single item over $5000 required a written appraisal.

Does Wilson Combat make revolver cylinders?

Good job! However, no pics of the girlfriend = thread fail. :)

Why go down the false arrest and subsequent legal battle rabbit hole when a modicum of cooperation followed by polite discussion would accomplish the same thing without making gun owners look like a bunch of whiny pricks? Perhaps you've got plenty of time and money to pursue the "hammer of justice" method of education. I'd rather do it with 5 minutes of polite conversation.

I get the idea of exercising your rights. I don't get the idea of being a whiny dick about it, especially to cops. They're like fish on a hook. You dangled the bait, they bit on it, and the harder you reel, the harder they fight back. You're never going to win the "reasonable suspicion" argument with a cop. Be nice. Show them your ID. Then show the open carry law that you've got bookmarked on your phone for just this sort of occasion. Explain politely. Offer to talk to their boss and explain it to the whole department. Be nice.

    According to the internet, no, which is surprising to me.  But they do have this corrugated plastic sheeting, which would work fine too.   http://www.homedepot.com/p/72-in-x-36-in-x-5-32-in-Twinwall-Plastic-Sheet-COR-3672/202771364

    Just a thin layer of polyethylene sheet would work for that.  Firm enough for some support between layers but still somewhat bendy. 

Welcome!

Nice!  Looks like it could hold 6 pistols easily, maybe 12 if you use layers.  Which means, of course, that since she bought you such a nice case, you're obligated to fill it up.  :)

Rickman was #3. Lemmy was #1.

One of my favorite movie bad guys.        My wife and I quote that to one another fairly routinely.... 'cause it'll urt more, you twit!"  :D

    Posing with the check is a stipulation of accepting the prize.  They're required to publish the identity of the winner(s). 

          Acres?  Nah.  Think square miles. 

    No, you can't walk into a bank with a couple gold bars and do anything with them other than put them in a safe deposit box. 

    Yep, good idea.  Could do the same thing for flashlight, spare mag, pepper spray... any sort of small pouch. 

    True, but a motorcycle is technically a motor vehicle.  It's the "in" part that's potentially sketchy.  Personally, I would argue that anything in a luggage compartment or on your person would qualify as "in" for a motorcycle.  But I can certainly see that if I went riding down the road with a rifle case on my back, I might get pulled over and questioned.     Heaven forbid the legislators consider that people do actually use something other than a limo with a driver and security team for transportation.

I'm surprised we don't have a CPA here that knows all this stuff. But this is clearly why all the people in the know say the firs thing to do is hire a good tax attorney and accountant. Yep, just a little bass boat....

Spend it? Easy, get into racing. Something cheap like yachts or war birds. Want to make a small fortune in racing? Start with a large fortune.

Yes, you can do that. But don't be surprised if you get pulled over and questioned. The recent law changes here make it pretty clear, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone who sees you calls it in.

Welcome! I got an air rifle for Christmas. It's nice to buy 1500 rds of ammo for about $25 and be able to shoot in back yard.
