KW5KW-

We will have to discuss it over a Coke someday.....You lost me in dialogue.

I am obviously not doing a good job relaying my feelings. I am not an "in your face" kind of person, but I do not believe that makes me one to have my rights trampled on either.

Anyway...take care of yourself and I hope that we get to shoot together sometime when I am in Ft. Worth. I plan to visit in November if all goes well and get back over the the Shooting Gallery!

Russ-
I agree that many problems can be solved with a willingness to cooperate and a respectul attitude, which is what I have always offered and walked away each time without a criminal record. If you go looking for trouble...you will find it. This applies all aspects of life in my opinion.

For the sake of conversation......do you feel the same way about LEO searching other parts of your personal property.....your home, yard, boat?

I think there is a fine line that is easily crossed when it comes to the authority officers have and their practice of abusing it. I generally feel that most people are good people, but I do not want anyone going through my things unless they have a valid reason to do so. My point being that if I am pulled over and an officer just decides to violate my personal belongings out of mere curiosity....I will do what I can to make a formal stink about it. I would never create a disturbance like this on the side of the road..that is one that I could never win.

Remember that if an officer is doing something that is illegal....making him/her lie about it later is considered a victory in my book. Is this really a problem for most of us here?
