    Well sir, at least you're smart enough not to use your real name when posting.

    It's a $370 ticket in Iowa... If they cut you a break and write it as unloaded.

    I'm pretty sure you can only claim the gun if you have actually shot someone with it.

    Nobody is going to spend the time to try to find out my real name. In fact if this is being monitored by law enforcement please send me a pm and I'll confesss everything. Or maybe not. I don't give a flying duck if anybody sees my post. They aren't going to waste their time with me. To busy with real criminals. All of you still on paper logs.

    I’ve carried a gun the year I was company & guns in my own truck. I’m thinking better to be safe than sorry.

    I never carry a gun, I always try to reason with people who intend me harm. I prefer to be a victim if it means one less gun on the street.
     
    Crude Truckin' and IluvCATS Thank this.

    Some guns are mean. Those should be outlawed.
