We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

My favorite is from a Roanoke Cop..
"You don't have the right to remain silent unless you've broken a law. Have you broken the law?"
Please tell me your kidding.... That isn't even funny....

Just tell 'em "sure I broke a law ... you tell me which one...I'll be over here being very quite"
Nope...happened to a member here and he posted the audio. He sued the department over the encounter (There were other things they did)....but took it to Federal court which is a mistake in this district. The judge agreed the cops were way off base but needed to be cut some slack because they are the thin blue line.

Bubba law: "It's illegal for you to carry in Virginia without a permit"
My reply "Actually, their statutes specify only concealed carry. Open carry is legal with no permit by default."
Bubba law reply: "That's only for residents of Virginia. Non-residents have to have a permit and can't legally carry openly."

you can be arrested if you carry in a buisness with a no guns sign, even if you didn't see it.

Glocks are illegal in VA cuz they can't be detected by metal detectors.

Fallicies:
You can't carry a loaded long gun.
If you conceal carry, you can't print or accidentally reveal.
You have to notify police if and how you're carrying.
You have to do whatever the clerk tells you to get a CHP.
You have to keep your firearm in a closed container while in a vehicle.
They don't do background checks at gun shows.
There's no such thing as an assault firearm.

The sad part is he could be right.
Even worse, you don't need to do anything with a firearm at all.... lets not forget that a man was charged with Brandishing for 'pointing his finger'.
......and caused the deputy to be more afraid than he had ever been before in his entire life. :lol:Even worse, you don't need to do anything with a firearm at all.... lets not forget that a man was charged with Brandishing for 'pointing his finger'.
In this case, it is hard to tell one Keystone Cop from the other - they both spent so much time tripping over their words.
