| I thought the cops were fine. They simply wanted to run a check to see if the gun was stolen. They did not ask for the two I was carrying, or the Ak or shotgun in my open trunk. More than anything, the police never questioned the legality of the transaction at all. The older guy had an NRA sticker in his window too.
All in all I thought it was fine and thought of it as a gun background check that I got for free.
It did not have any of the following experiences:
1. Scratching of firearms: like when they are tossed onto long tables for the press to take free pictures of.
2. Undue Anxiety: like when the police freak when they discover just how undergunned a glock 23 can be.
3. Boring Educational Lessons: like when people have to learn just how legal FTF transactions are, say, post-arrest.
4. High Temp Facials: like when the asphalt your face is pinned to by a knee has gotten warm in the sun's gaze.
5. Noisy Blather: The high pitched screeching of someone who things he can talk his way out of handcuffs just because he actually IS right.
6. Messy Scenes: Like when your car contents have been tossed and you are now expected to re-pack it alone.
7. Gaudy Jewelry: Those shiny linked bracelets that begin to burn when they are just a little too tight behind your little fat torso.
So I laughed it off and went on from there...
I will however, choose a better meet spot next time! |
