did the guy get his gun back? the story implies, but doesn’t answer that question. the cops can have temporary custody of my weapon whilst they’re making sure I’m not a thug, but I want it back before they leave.
the guy was a convicted felon so can not legally possess a firearm, so i doubt it was returned
I agree with you. If I’m a cop and I see a gun on the floor, which I believe it is not supposed to be, I’m going to be a little antsy. In my state even with CCW permit you are not allowed to display the weapon, even on your car seat.
I’ll probably get cursed for this, but, based on the amount of thuggery going on out there, if I were a cop I’d prefer to be safe than sorry.
Not all cops are bad. If you go by the videos that are flooding the internet you’d think we were living in a police state. I say, not yet we’re not.
I know a few cops here in town. They are level headed, won’t stop anyone unless they are just being plain stupid and reckless and causing possible harm to others. They won’t write you a ticket for going 10 miles over because they know that, in most cases, you’re talking half a weeks pay to cover the cost.
They are also for CCW.
“the cops can have temporary custody of my weapon whilst they’re making sure I’m not a thug, but I want it back before they leave.”
Ya, good luck with that.
This is just more power for the police state. Whenever you hear “the children” or “officer safety” you know it’s ends with statists seizing more of your liberty. Local police are now at absolute odds with the people they are supposed to serve and unfortunately most have the mindset to match. Law enforcement has become nothing more than the intimidation arm of government.
