Sorry, mojo. I ignored my own vow to never again use subtlety. It was not, by the way, directed at you, but rather at another commentator.mojo84 wrote:b322da wrote:I did not say "authorizes;" I said "invites."

Such a sign invites a stop and search of the vehicle, probable cause or reasonable suspicion notwithstanding. These can usually be manufactured after the fact.

Why? Who are you quoting that said "authorizes" instead of "invites"?
The officer saw the gun on the seat. That's why he took action. Nothing indicates the Come and a Take It sticker had anything to do with this. Manufacturing probable cause and reasonable suspicion after the fact is contrary to the Constitution and is not in the publics best interest. Why chase these rabits when they have nothing to do with the topic?
I will drop it as wasted effort. It invites misunderstanding and then, too often, indiscretion on my part. I regret I appear to have offended a very good commentator on this forum.
