But at least in CO they don't have to worry about warrantless searches of their vehicles like our state just passed longslide.
Each state has its usurpations. Good people from most states are fighting hard to get rid of oppressive and unconstitutional laws. To nitpick and point fingers doesn't help.
The pistol, a Ruger SR9, has been held by authorities since March 28, on which day Warren was involved in a serious automobile accident. “It was pretty bad,” she tells me over the phone from her home in Fort Collins, Colo. “I was slammed against my driver’s side door. I had blunt-force trauma to my kidneys, and I was bleeding internally. When the ambulance came, they grabbed me right away and rushed me to the hospital.” At the time of the collision, Warren had her pistol on the adjacent passenger seat, but afterward moved it into her purse so as not “to alarm anybody.”
At the hospital, the gun was taken by the police for “safekeeping overnight.” “Looking back, they shouldn’t really have done that,” Warren says. “They should have just given it to my husband.” But they didn’t. Instead, authorities took the weapon to the local police station and put it in storage. After Warren was discharged, the gun was kept for a further two weeks. “They wanted to see if I had been under the influence of drugs or alcohol,” Warren says. “And they said they should keep the gun just in case,” while they awaited the results of a blood test.
In and of itself, this delay did not greatly concern her. But she was beginning to worry nonetheless. While the blood test was pending, Warren had made initial inquiries as to how the pistol would be returned, and in doing so “found out about the background checks,” which she now describes as “this ridiculous law.” “At that point,” she recalls, “I knew I wasn’t going to get my gun back. Nothing seemed to be working.”
Wasn't nitpicking or pointing fingers. It was a general statement, one that we all need to be heeding. I didn't hear about the warrantless searches BS passed in PA. Just because they write some law on the books doesn't mean it gets complied with. This is what I mean by stepping it up a notch. Time to get more aggressive with authority figures and legislators that make unconstitutional laws/statutes/codes etc. We are at war in this country on a number of fronts. Border security, govt and state tyranny and the threat from raghead terrorism. We have gone on long enough without any retaliation and they keep on destroying our liberties. I don't know what it will take for people to wise up and do the necessary evil. I know govt wants a reason to initiate martial law and are trying their damnedest to provoke it---maybe it's time to oblige.
I certainly hope they did not etch into the firearm any case number or ID like they do in a crime. That would have me boiling over.
Wolf_fire, do you mind explaining what you mean? Do you know where they typically do this etching?
I am new to the world of handguns. I just bought my first, a Smith & Wesson 64-3. It's a great gun, the shots land exactly where I line it up. One of things that has puzzled me about it is that it has a series of numbers etched into the butt of the gun right after the serial number. It looks as if it was done by hand (numbers are not uniform).
Thanks.
