Pulled over while armed, pile of rifles, cooler full of squirrel & bloody pants

[Goodcat]

Whew, that didn't feel comfortable when I saw the lights. I returned from a day on a friends farm for shooting, squirrel hunting and get away. I got pulled over doing 15 over. Unusual for me, but I let my foot get heavy while talking on the phone. ISP officer comes up to my passenger window and sees my side arm. Glances in the back to a pile of rifle cases, an ammo can, a cooler & USMC day packs. Looks at my camo pants and sees blood from cleaning. (Should have brought clothes) I kept my hands on the wheel and asked permission before opening the glove box, fetching ID and digging out LTCH. Asked him if he'd prefer I remain still in the vehicle and asked him to hand me a closed bag so I could fetch my Larry while keeping my hands in front. No cuffs, no disarm, no curb stomping. Polite conversation and he even gave me a warning with no ticket and told me to have a nice day.

+1 ISP

Un-possible!! All police are freedom hating gestapo looking for an excuse to jack-boot the innocent!

At some point, did you explain the squirrel hunting part?

I mean, if not, I'd be kinda disappointed in the trooper for at least not asking what's up with the blood and arsenal.

Oh ya. Told him a got a couple fox squirrels. No search was asked, nor granted of course. Had to explain that blood before it was noticed!

So, INGO may quarrel with offering that explanation, but I think its a good idea. Especially since it was the truth.

Key question: did you fire warning shots before shooting at the squirrels?

The only warning shot I fired was the one right next to the squirrels head into the tree when I missed my first shot. But when you shoot subsonic hollow point through a suppressor on a bolt action 22, they tend to just look around confused if you miss.

Oh yeah, I can hear it now: "why do you hate Liberty? You abdicated your personal freedoms!"

"AM I FREE TO GO?!?!?!?!?!"

You're a free man on the land. You don't have to ask if you're free to go.

Last Wednesday of the month.... I think that's remedial curb stomping training. He's leading the breakout session on proper footwear, I think.

ISP giving just a warning!? Heck where are they going to get the $$$ to fund their budget?

Which is why I'm a fan of cruise control whenever it's safe to use it. Otherwise my speed creeps up and I attract attention.

It sounds like I need to give that Trooper some remedial training.

I wish the guy that wrote me had made his before he stopped me.
