When I was in HS in the early 70’s, half the pickup trucks in the student parking lot had gun racks in the back window. Not a few had guns in those racks. What planet are we now on, anyhow?

so the Local police couldn’t have a drug dog sniff the car before popping the lock.
And this is to the yellow dog who reported him: “hey pussface, are you that much of a pisssoaked coward that you couldn’t face him and you had to lie. I hope you get “Swatted” one day,maybe with a allegation of having kiddy porn. Asshat.
