    See i do not believe that anyone called the cops because 2 of the 4 cops were in plain clothes. So I feel targeted for nothing other than buying a legal rifle and driving home.

    If it was just about checking out a report, a warning could have been given. Instead they opted to write a ticket. Now i have to pay that because decided to buy a rifle on my Birthday. The other thing that bothers me is that the 3 cars leaving the show never used a blinker. I did up to the point i pulled into my driveway because no cars were driving on the street at the time. Like i said I'm just trying to make sense of the situation because I did nothing wrong. I purchased the rifle legally, i have no criminal record, i never even purchased ammunition for the damn rifle.
    Tell it to the judge. He may understand and dismiss.

    I had a pair of Birkenstock shoes that I wore & wore had them resoled twice & re sewn once. they were my airport & bush camp shoes in africa. If they still made them I'd still have a pair.

    I also wore Birkenstock Proffessional clogs for years. They lasted & wore along time but were hell on my feet.

    Wife has always worn Birkenstock's, and now has a pair of plastic looking Birkenstock's ... like a high tech Croc.

    Look very comfortable, and she said they were in the $30 range.
    If I could find them in 11.5 5E ...

    You missed out croc's just ran a sale a few weeks ago got 3 pair for under 15 each and free shipping at 35 bucks. I was surprised at how comfy they are and will get a few more styles next time they blow some out.

    I have a pair of Birks I've worn enough to need resoled. They help my back. They are genuine and came from Belgium. My wife has several pairs including a couple of the fake ones made of rubber. Y'all remember Imelda Marcos? The white one lives here.

    I wear Dr. Martens for work for the same reason, saves my back. Sorry about the trail off but shoe talk is more interesting than fantasy.

    In my best Yoda voice I think you meant.. off the rails this thread has gone. Off the rails, the path to the dark side it is.



    Wrong, I could be, cloudy this threads
    future is. Difficult to see it is. The dark side clouds all who dont resist.

    I can't figure out if i was targeted for buying the AR15 or if it was because my buddies were black. I hate bringing race into any discussion but i can't see to many other options.

    Can anyone think of something i missed or fill in some of the blanks i would appreciate the help.


    It's called profiling.., it's what good cops do. The three of you must have looked like ANTIFA walking around the gun show. Not funny, but I wouldn't take it too personal. It's happened to me, looking back on it, I could see why.

    the police don't need a reason to stop you. they will make up what ever they can to stop you. i was pulled over for making a right hand turn from the middle lane when i didn't, after they ran my license i asked the policeman what the real reason why he stopped me, he told the the neighborhood i live in has some drug activity and it was about 3am {i was called in for a problem}. so you see they will just make up what they want to. some times it might be for a good reason, or maybe not. I told my wife one day that a policeman can come into your house and shoot you dead just for his fun, all he has to do is start yelling don't touch that gun! and your dead, he might get in trouble, but your still dead. and i know most police are law abiding people 99%, but history shows not all, after all all police are human.

    When I was 16 years old, a cop took a small bag of marijuana from me, put it in his front pocket and said his girlfriend was really going to enjoy smoking it. I grabbed my crotch area, shook it up and down, and told him not as much as she liked smoking this last night.
