From Houston, Texas:

Well some bad or good news depends on how you take it. Making this as short as possible. I was pulled over for speeding, my fault I should not have been, no biggie just get the ticket and be on my way right........... Unfortunatly not. The plan for the day was to get an experienced gun smith to look at my latest creation , and then take it to the range. Well right when the cop is giving me my ticket to be signed and send me on my way, he asks " can I ask whats in the ammo case?" What could I say other then the truth? I reply "ammo". Well then he asks what king of gun do you have sir, I say an AK pistol, and then ignoracne sets in. I dont want to label the police I appreciate their work but the hassle. Well its seems nobody is aware that you can have a legal ak pistol in the police department, and I spend a night in jail while they figure it out.

I may not know every law in the book. But i sure as hell have the books with me and nobody goes to jail unless i find something in the book(s) that says i have a reason to take them to jail.

Exactly. A cop thought I may have committed a felony once (way back when) but we just went to the station, pulled out the law books and read through them. Turned out it was just an infraction and they decided not to pursue any action.

The books exist for a reason.

Most of them.

I keep a CVC & CPC quick code, complete municodes, complete CVC, abridged H&S code and abridged CPC.

It would take way too much space to carry the complete editions of CVC, B&P, H&S, CPC ect.
