All I can say is THANK GOD ABOVE that I'm no longer living in the sh!t-hole ghetto, roach/bum-infested, smack-dealin' lesbo & noisy prostitute neighborhood. I now live in a fantastic, peaceful, serene, and low-crime neighborhood. [^] Yes, I like my new home. I've only had 2 'incidents' here, and this is the third 'incident'.
While just arriving home from the range (guns all dirty), I see the neighboring college kids lighting off black-cats in entire strings:
*POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP POP*
I start unloading my guns/ammo from my car, and a squad car speeds into the area, and sees me with gun cases, and ammo cans. The college kids have gone inside their house, and the cop asks me, "Have you heard any gun shots in the area?" while eye f#cking my gun cases. I said, "No, but the neighbor kids just lit off a string of black cats right over there."
Cop, "Are your firearms loaded?"; me, "Of course not, officer."
Cop, "Are your firearms dirty?"; me, "Of course, I just got back from the shooting range."
Cop, "Do you mind me opening that case?"; me, "Of course I mind; There's no probable cause. There are fire-works paper remains on the street over there [pointing], and I have a receipt in my pocket from Armored Fire range."
Cop looked at receipt, looked at the black cat paper/cr@p, said ok & left. Sure would be nice if [i]I[/i] could insinuate criminal activity and use that as a basis to search others' belongings. [rolleyes]
Makes me wonder if he was in the area and heard the fireworks, or if he got a swift call from someone residing nearby?
