There are other reasons why NC is pretty bad, but so far as police abuse goes we are still better than most. At least our despotic cops get indicted, and occasionally even convicted. Not that is all that much of a recommendation but....Originally Posted by Origanalist
Actually this happened to us. we found a cache of my deceased FIL's weapons in the attic. including his off duty sidearm and his old school "n***** beater". it was a happy day.
I dunno, but anybody stupid enough to do so deserves what they get.

Bet I find my weapons before they do.

Out of every one hundred men they send us, ten should not even be here. Eighty will do nothing but serve as targets for the enemy. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, upon them depends our success in battle. But one, ah the one, he is a real warrior, and he will bring the others back from battle alive.
Duty is the most sublime word in the English language. Do your duty in all things. You can not do more than your duty. You should never wish to do less than your duty.
So when you buy a house, or live in a house that others have owned, it only makes sense to tear the place down to the studs and rip up the floors--just to be safe.

At least now the cops will do all of that for you at no charge. Well, until you actually get charged, of course.
Ebola guns hate us for our freedom.

Instead they should be posing questions on how exactly is exposing their private dwellings to searches by law enforcement personnel serving to make their community safer?

I'm with the chief on this one. I'm forever finding guns in my house that I didn't know were there! Just this morning 3 fell out of my shower caddy and another showed up in the cat's litterbox. Last week I found half a dozen huddled together in the crawl space. And one time I found a couple in my freezer. </sarc>

Anti-gun people want to make firearms a health issue, as that will give them precedent to regulate and ban as it is for the public health.

If you remove guns from Gun violence,, you are still left with violence.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

Hmmmm. I'm pretty sure I know where my guns are. But what IF they found one I didn't know about? FREE GUN!!! That would be cool! It's a balance: the chance that they find a new gun for me versus the chance they kill me just because they can.

BELOIT, WISCONSIN POLICE CHIEF REVERSES COURSE: NO LONGER ASKING TO SEARCH HOMES FOR GUNS

"The Patriarch"
http://www.examiner.com/article/brea...alerts_articleHe told Examiner that the proposal was not submitted to the legal office for review before it went public. Now that the plan has been withdrawn, the press release did say that the department would be submitting the plan to the legal office “for further review.” Arft noted, however, that he doubts it will be offered again because there is already a mechanism for people to report guns to police to have them removed from private property.
“Police departments have been doing that for decades,” Arft said. “The option has always been out there and we don’t need to go searching in someone’s house to provide that service.”
...
Arft said the program “was certainly well meaning,” and that there was never an intention of launching legal fishing expeditions into private residences. Besides, he noted that there would have been serious legal questions about the validity of any evidence of unrelated crimes that might be uncovered in such a search.
...
All of it, of course. They are searching with CONSENT, vis-ŕ-vis a warrant, which technically protects you from extraneous discoveries.

There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.
It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.
Our words make us the ghosts that we are.
Convincing the world he didn't exist was the Devil's second greatest trick; the first was convincing us that God didn't exist.
They have had the ability to search nearly any home for some time. And on nothing more than an anonymous "tip",, or from a fabricated story.
Kick doors in first
Investigate (cover up) later.

That takes some mental gymnastics, doesn't it? I can't make that logic leap no matter how hard I try.
