Unfortunately I tend to agree with this statement with my own twist.. "dont ask a PERSON and just PRESUME his/her answer is correct" (credintials {sp}, for instance alot of times when somebody answers a law question,they put the number on the law so you can actually pull it up yourself and see its there)

That's a much better answer than I gave! Also, never, never depend too much on answers given on internet boards. Use them as reference points. Even double check your lawyer. I catch mine in a mistake once in a while. Makes him mad too.

OK,OK, you know it all, why do you pay me:shock:

DO NOT ask cops about gun laws most do not know gun laws and will give their opinion, not law.
Please do not single out cops... There are plenty of citizens that do not a damn thing either.
Which is why I wouldn't recommend going up to random people on the street and asking them about the law, any more than I'd go up to a random cop and do so.

FWIW, IANAL, YMMV, ETC CETERA....

On the dash, or on the passenger's seat. Even if it means someone gets to hold it in their lap.

Look the code up yourself, and welcome. :)
