That is one truly ignorant trooper.wgoforth wrote:Making the matter even weirder.... I saw an older State Trooper in the Quick Mart, so I said "your someone I'd like to pick the brains of. Just moved here, and while at the mall, I noticed waay in the back in tiny letters is a "Mall Etiquette" sign. (it's 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper with about 20 different rules). And on down the list it says no weapons, legal or illegal." I went on to say that I had a CHL, and since they had no 30.06 sign, what was a LEO's view of it. He replied "Don't you dare carry in that mall. I used to provide security there and if caught it will be a felony." I asked "Even without the required 30.06?" He said "Yes sir. They used to have the sign, don't know where it's gone, but you do not carry." Wow. So, sounds like although I have my right to carry, it could still involve jail and lawyers until cleared.
There have been very few (none next to none) convictions of 30.06 BTW
