lets say for some "reason" i didnt have my soft case on my scoped .22 rifle. do you think that the cops or anyone else may have noticed an open long gun and perhaps done something about it?
I considered sitting there for a longer time period just to see if anything would happen, but I didnt have the desire to watch the game.
First, a scoped .22 at your local HS? How'd you get away with that?
Second, If you were sitting there, and there was a range there, and you had you rifle slung over your shoulder, there's nothing they could have done except say "Hey, nice rifle. Please put it away." "Thanks! No." "Ok."
Pami, honestly, I can see where it COULD be construed as such, but if it's just slung and you are just walking down the sidewalk, there's really nothing they can do. Unless there is an ordinace that specifically states that you can't sling a loaded rifle in town, then they can slap you with whatever charge they want, but when you sue the IMPD or WTEVRPD, I'm sure you'll either 1) get the charges dropped and a hardy "Sorry, can we clean your gun before you go?" or 2) get enough money to not only pay your lawyer off, but have enough money for the next 20 Appleseeds, Pistol Combat Traingings, and all the ammo you would need. Maybe even a new house, car, no debt, and that new P99QA and Natalie's Sig! LOL
Seriously though, I don't think they can do anything but harass you. Even then, minor inconvience, on with my day. Been there done that.
