What did he do that was unsafe?

Have a kid?
Buy a crew cab truck?
Load his gun?


HE WAS STUPID, not unsafe. He violated the law-of course the poh poh has a different set of laws-and he won't get charged for it. I cannot transport any gun unless the bullets and gun are in separate places inside the vehicle and the bullets are locked up.


Why wasn't this jerk prosecuted? Here's a clue! How's about endangering a child? Carrying a piece locked and loaded?

Any other piece of crap parent would be charged and held in jail. But the bleeding heart AHs say something like, "He's suffered enough, leave him alone".
So, instead of applying the law for EVERYONE, we let a few people slide, they come back and people get sued because they had little or nothing to do with some stupid "cop" that didn't have half a brain.

Randi,

Here in Lost Angeles the dropout rate for high schools was something like 30 percent. 3 out of 10 kids do not graduate, period. We cannot educate kids in basic knowledge to face the world, so how can we educate them to respect the world?

This always brings me back to a Don Henley song that talks about a man with a briefcase being able to steal more money than a man with a gun.
