Typically myopic statements from the east. Poor Patocks' prob'ly ignorant of the bed wetter mentality that exists there. They spelled it wrong. It's 'Marana' connected to Tucson at the hip to the northwest. We carry guns here. We've carried guns in AZ since before there was an AZ. It's a right... y'know... that 2A thing you've been denied since the Civil War? He's prob'ly been carryin' a gun so long it's become second nature. 'Part of gettin' dressed. All in all... I can see this cop figured if the vehicle was AZ tagged... it 'might' have guns. Insufficant RAS... and no reason to toss the truck. 4A violation.
He may have thought he was legal under by the Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA), Public Law No. 99-308, 100 Stat. 449 (May 19, 1986), codified at 18 U.S.C. § 921 et seq. 'Persons traveling from one place to another cannot be incarcerated for a firearms offense in a state that has strict gun control laws if the traveler is just passing through (short stops for food and gas) and the firearms and ammunition are not immediately accessible, unloaded and, in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver’s compartment, in a locked container.' Not that such a fine detail would make any difference to the jack boot thug mentality that exists in D.C./MD. 'Hope he sues!
