getting busted at the 1500

[ADT knights]

Does anybody else find it sort of odd that with all the handguns or people carrying that come into the 1500 that you never see the LEO's checking for a carry license. IMO this would be an easy place to bust people.

Have you ever been there? How long would it take to do as you suggest? would anyone even make it through the line? I think this would hinder commerce to the point that suits would follow. Besides, revenue is the primary reason for gov and LE to exist, without business transactions there is no revenue generated.

 

[trnsplntfrmohio]

Oh there would be revenue. I say confiscate the gun of anyone not legally carrying, all it would do is showing your LTCH which would take all of .15 seconds when you enter the door. Don't give anyone jail time or court costs. If you're caught without a LTCH you get a claim check. On Monday you take that claim check to the police station and get your gun back, after of course paying a 100 dollar fine.

All you would have to say is that you are taking it to your dealer. I think that is law in Indiana isn't it? You don't need a license to carry to take the handgun to and from a licensed dealer, or so I thought.

The police that are there are paid by the promoter to do security, not to do police work.

Home from purchase, along with to and from "a place of repair", taking to a dealer doesn't qualify unless he is also a place of repair.

 

[theweakerbrother]

The GlockDoc is a place of repair.

You are allowed to transport guns to and from the dealers as long as it's not on your persons (body) and it has to be unloaded. You cant have the gun and ammo in the same compartment either. So if you were driving and had your gun in the glove box and the ammo in the trunk then thats fine.

 

[Kutnupe14]

It's not odd, because attendance at a gun show, carrying a gun, isnt exacty PC to harass people. That tricky 4th Amendment foils again!

 

[trnsplntfrmohio]

It's okay because the courts keep ruling that the 4th Amendment doesn't apply anymore for police safety.

Sad but true.

I would recommend doing this only with a LTCH. 'Course then, it would be loaded and on my hip as usual. Many cops think this is okay from what I hear, but get one who wants to give you some crap and you probably wont like the out come in court.

Funny all the LE (except maybe ATF) have treated me with respect. Can't say the same for the officers. I once saw a guy "clear/safety" his gun with the muzzle pointed at the officer's gut. I could easily see the frustration in the officer's face, but he forced a smile and said have a nice day. I wondered how may times that happened to him that day.

 

[Naptown]

I think the show numbers would drastically be cut if people knew they could get "busted" with a gun. I guess I would almost like that better - more room in the aisles.

 

[alan robert]

All they did last night, was ask if you had a firearm coming in and going out. It was the ticket lady coming in and security going out at closing time.

I saw plastic ties on/in firearm actions being carried by customers.

No hassles, no one shot or killed. lol

NOT TRUE.

Place of purchase to your home or your business
or a place to get it repaired

What are yopu talking about?

All I gotta say is maybe some people should read the Book,mentioned on here by INGO. Gun laws in Indiana.
Might be a good start.

 

[marine4life]

Any guns, any guns? Nope. As the guy in front of pulls it out of the backpack and laughs to his buddy. Then proceeds to apply his own orange ziptie...... Whats the point. It will never be conpletely safe. Not with dumba**es like that floating around.

ADT knights, I am not angry at u but please re-think your position because: I do not think we should have to have a LTCH in the U.S.A, criminals do not care or apply for LTCH, the license only keeps the honest honest. I will catch flak here but I stand firm, I only got one because it is the law, criminals do not apply because it is the law they not recieve or retain one, yet they still carry? Again the criminals win, making it hard on the law abiding people!

Field King, No flak from me. I completely agree. Same could be said for doing background checks before allowing a law abiding citizen to purchase a gun of any kind. Criminals get guns anytime and pretty much wherever they want. If they are so easily armed, why do I have to have my background checked before I can purchase a gun. It's all B.S. (and before someone asks I can and do legally purchase guns a lot, without hiccup) You said it best laws only keep the honest, honest. And now with this shooting in Tuscan I fear things are only gonna get worse for those of us who play by the rules.

Part of the attraction of the gun show is that pretty much anyone for that weekend can carry and buy or sell without anyone making a big fuss about it. That is one of the reasons it is the biggest show in the state and why they have it so often. If you're on here complaining about the crowds or how crowded the aisles are. DON'T GO. We live in a very gun friendly state compared to others, so be proud and take advantage of that situation while you can.
