LMAO, My neighbors hate me! The other day I was out shooting and among other things, I was bump firing my AR-15.Anyway, apparently more than one neighbor called in reporting that I had a full auto weapon. Needless to say I had cops show up (eventually) like an hour and a half later.
What happened was a long drawn out story, but basically they just disarmed me since I was wearing a taurus 627 (.357) on my hip at the time. Gathered up all my weapons, inspected my Bushmaster, ran the serial numbers and basically told me I was good to go. Didn't even bother telling me not to do it anymore. They did strongly encourage me to join a shooting range but assured me that my backstop was completely legal.
My question is, did I have to give up my 357 when I was talking to them? They'd never requested that I disarm myself before and the cop's basically know me by a first name basis because of how many times they've been called. They asked me if they could 'secure' the gun, not demanded it. I didn't really have a problem at the time because I knew I was relatively safe with them being LEO's. I don't really trust giving up my gun to ANYONE and was just wondering if I would have to do it again if they were called back out.
