Dont believe it happens?

Watch “Alaska State Troopers” on Nat Geo. A guy in last week’s episode was pulled over on suspicion of DUI. He had two single action sixguns in the car. The cop took the guns and ran a serial number check on the wheelguns before giving them back to the guy.

The motorist even put a cherry on it by making an anti-gun comment.

I’m wondering what former Governor Palin thinks about this in Alaska. I would like to hear her take on it. I mean, she had to know about it (I would think so) and should have had an opinion on it, as to whether that was okay or that it should go and not be required.

Does anyone know what former Governor Palin thinks or thought about it?

Can someone please inform this dude that under Terry v. Ohio they can take your gun off of you everywhere else(in public) too? Once they have it, there is NO protection against the serial number being run, as it is now in “plain view”. If you’re in the car, under Carroll, they can search the area around you in the car as well. Gee, let’s all run around in circles with our hair on fire! At least the Alaska folks can CARRY their firearms, unlike so many other places. Note: any place that has a conventtional CCW scheme in place, when the cop runs your license, he’s going to know about the CCW and pull any weapons you are carrying.

This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. The 4th amendment, as interpreted by the supreme judicial court, is a freaking joke. The jurisprudence begs the question. It says a search is only unreasonable if you have a reasonable expectation of privacy--and then they proceed to tell us where we should have a reasonable expectation of privacy and where we shouldn't. lol

The 4th amendment is another of the many glaring errors in our Constitution. Even the fixes to the Constitution couldn't fix it. The Bill of Rights is troublesome.

How about this your guns were stolen.

The cops stops a vehicle with them in doesn't run the serial numbers.

You don't get your guns back the bad guy gets to keep them.
