Re: Cuffed and Stuffed
This all serves to point up what I have been saying on here for some time.
It doesn't matter what YOU think the law says, or what WE think the law says, or what sign is posted, or what the wording is, if a cop wants to give you a ride, based on what HE thinks the law says, you are going to get the ride, and have a hard time getting your gun and CHL back.
SO - I will continue to pass out my little card, and write to store management and corporate, and campaign for changes, MEANINGFUL changes, to the wording of the law. If we must have a law, it should be clearly written that the sign MUST be 2' x 4' AND have this exact wording, AND the letters MUST be bright red on a vibrant blue background (hey, purple stripes are in the laws) AND no "defense to prosecution" type language, make it "Non-compliant signs are not enforceable" period.
And there will still be some cops who will give you a ride, and some store owners and corporations who will see their way as the right way.
I, personally, think that each and every cop who pointed a gun at the OP should be under arrest and tried for ADW, as well as standing for civil suit, and that the Chief of the department that did not return his gun and CHL just outside of the courthouse after the judge rapped his gavel, should also be held criminally and civilly liable.
