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!

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Caution: In general, no one may possess a firearm within the District without a valid registration certificate. No such registration is available for .50 BMG rifles or so-called “assault weapons.” The District also bans the possession of magazines (except those for .22 caliber rimfire ammunition) with a capacity of more than 10 rounds or that can be readily converted or restored to accept more than 10 rounds, as well as the possession of ammunition without a firearms registration certificate. The certificate requirement does not apply to nonresidents who are “participating in any lawful recreational firearm-related activity within the District, or on [their] way to or from such activity in another jurisdiction.” To qualify for this exception, a person must, upon demand of a law enforcement officer, “exhibit proof that he is on his way to or from such activity” and that the person’s possession of the firearm is lawful in the person’s place of residence. The person must also be transporting the firearm from a place where the person may lawfully possess and carry it to another place where the person may lawfully possess and carry it, the firearm must be unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition may be readily or directly accessible from the automobile’s passenger compartment, or if the vehicle does not have a separate trunk, the firearm or ammunition must be kept in a locked container.
