There are both good and bad LEOs everywhere~! I was driving my 250 dually in St. George, Georgia and got stopped for speeding by a rank toothed county mountie. My friends complain that I drive like an old granny so I'm sure I wasn't speeding. I did have Florida tags on my truck though. He told me to get out of the truck, and the first thing he asked was did I have any guns. His hand was on his holstered gun when he asked. I said 'yes', he asked where, and I told him they were on the floor of the passenger back seat. I had new in the box 6" stainless Python, a Nazi marked Hi Power (both in a closed brief case), and a model 39-A Marlin. He confiscated them claiming that the law required them to be locked in the trunk. A trunk in a pick-up~???Wonders why game wardens aren't liked........... He could have at least dried and oiled your gun.. What a *****
He told me that to get them back I'd have to go to the local magistrate's court which was held once a week. I drove all the way back to Georgia to go to court, and the magistrate, not a judge, asked me if I had a "permit to carry". I told him no, and he told me to get out of his court and stop wasting his time.
I don't know what that lesson taught me if anything, but I sure don't like Georgia any more~!!!!
