    average joe could you post the statute that allows you the right to take a persons gun without probable cause? And also the the statute that says if you possess a persons gun you have to run the serial number? The statute that makes it a gray area if a person refuses to turn over a gun on a traffic stop would be interesting to read also.

     

    I wont speak for averagejoe however as mentioned previously...you have the right to refuse a request to hand over your firearm. If an officer stops to talk to you on the side of the road for no reason you have the right to tell them to pound sand and be on their way. You have the right to refuse a search of your vehicle (unless there is something incriminating in plain sight, AKA Inevitable Discovery). Refusing to produce a license (for example) is criminal if you are in control of a vehicle.

     

    Furthermore, as averagejoe mentioned law enforcement has the right to protect themselves. If you for any reason move your hand to your gun (even if it is second nature to protect it) you can be assured that the LE officer will have his or her gun drawn on you for protection and they have every right to do so. As long as you are not under arrest (you can be under arrest without handcuffs on) think of your car as a home. The officer cannot enter unless there is a cause to do so. Again, it is all contained in Title IV "Search and Seizure" laws, hope that helps :)

    I have read too, that archeologists have found the remains all over the Southwestern United States that the American Lion (The largest of all cats) was native here as well and for whatever reason the Jag. survived but the lion did not. They suggest that Jags and lions both preyed upon bison/deer/elk and mammoths. Gotta love the Southwest Museum.

     

    About 8 years ago I was doing some work in a few towns about an hour south of the border. A few of them had Jag pelts.....They are native to this whole area.

    Got everything packed last night.....I was making a list....checking it twice haha. Re-washed all my camo, found the cold weather gear and did an inventory. Have my very last "to do's" on my list with me today at work.

     

    Have a conference at this evening, hit up Wal-mart for the last min. things and then it off to bed for a night of unrestful sleep just to wake up at 3am to be in my spot opening morning hahaha!

     

    I have not slept much at all the past few nights in anticipation for tomorrow...like a kid at christmas time...I love the hunt!

    What are the some they can't? It wasn't a big prolbem, the Leo was a good guy as I was, I know they have a job to do and don't know me from Adam. Thanks for the answers.

     

    Depends on the situation however lets say you are arrested. The car can now be searched without your permission but case law dictates that the trunk cannot be searched as it is considered a different space. A warrant though can remedy this (and judges hate being woke up in the middle of the night). You have the right not to incriminate yourself and you do not have to declare that you have a weapon in the vehicle if you are pulled over but as mentioned previously...things go a lot more smooth when you're up front and don't have anything to hide.

    I'll 2nd Averagejoe. It is perfectly legal just as running your vehicle VIN #. Just because the plate matches the general description does not mean the car is not stolen. Many auto theft rings operate under this MO. Just depends on how much the officer wants to get into.

     

    Read your Title IV and understand your rights to "Search and Seizure." Its annoying to spend time on the side of the road but a good attitude goes a long way. Once there is probable cause to pull you over and you are actually pulled over then you are in a state of "investigative detention" (which is much different than being under arrest).....there is a lot they can investigate at that time and some things LE cannot.

     

    I tell people all the time....A.R.S. are like the tax codes....very few people actually spend the time to read them unless they work in that field. But those who do use them to their advantage.

    I know that this thread is more of just a yes or no question but I used to not care too much about hunter orange during my seasons. Then a few years ago a friend of mine was hit pretty good with #4 shot from another turkey hunter.....true story

     

    Needless to say I ALWAYS have orange on (even if it is just a hat) during a gun hunt, the same goes for the kiddo's

    Ya let me know what you hear. From all the opinons I had read elsewhere most people lean toward the Alpine or Olberhasis or a mixbreed of the two. Now if I can train them to sniff out a trail like a blood hound then I would have not desire for a dog haha

    GBA- Glad you asked this question.

     

    I like to think of myself as an experienced hunter (experience and success or 2 different things for me haha) but I had no idea people use goats for packing gear/animals in & out. Maybe its because we have always been around horses/mules but after doing some research these things are awesome!!

     

    I am always worried about a horse twisting its ankle, being gun shy or having suffienct water but these little billies that I have been reading about are just the coolest thing! My wife and I were talking about buying up a kid or two for our children to raise...I think you gave me the perfect excuse. Great info guys!
