Ohhhh Noooo  

I had the wrong end of the Rabbit ... But it looks like something the Rabbit had a pair of --- and its not the Ears !  

It looks like they are still fastened together somewhat ?

And OldRider you do not want to see a picture of this !  

So , I believe I did the Rabbit Gene-Pool a good deed by taking this one out.   It was headed off the road to safety but then turned around at just the wrong time .    I should have brought that Road-Kill home --- apparently it was the perfect  Head shot !!!    exploded  

is it Wabbit season in NC?

Hay .... what can I say but ... it was me or him !    

There was one guy who lost his Harley on a Hwy 28 down hill curve and sent it flying into two on-coming bikes going up the hill/curve.   Had traffic backed up before we got there , then one of the fellers working the clean-up told us 45 minutes more.   We turned around and ran 28 back to the dragon and went down 129 , that was even more fun than going on out hwy 28 !    

Let's not forget the dead-end road that MM took us down. I think he was trying to get us back in there away from all civilization and steal our lunch money.  

Yea !  What Dave said ...        Nirvana!  

Is that the place where the sun shines and warms to the road to the point where the front tire cant slip ?   If so , then thats what I was looking for !!    

Mights well just choot 'em

Carrying guns to scoot and shoots

Don't laugh -- and remember to put your guns out in the open inside your locked trunk area if you have one, or inside a locked case if you lack a trunk space to lock them up inside.   If you have a trunk, you don't need padlocked case as the trunk itself locks.

Do not throw a blanket over the guns or wrap them in blankets if they are inside a common space of the car -- this makes it a concealed carry item and upsets the police greatly.

Keep the ammo stored separately (in a different part of the car, in-accessible relative to the guns).  A locked suitcase works good for that, or a tool box if your truck has one.

When approached by a cop, put hands 10:00  & 2:00 on the steering wheel in plain sight and politely tell the officer that you have rifles stored in the car and where they are (he'll ask where, so tell him but then be firm that he has no right to search your trunk).  If he asks where the ammo is, tell him where it is but be firm that he has no right to search that part of the car either.  

A traffic stop gives him no right to search areas not in plain sight, unless you are dumb enough to give him permission.   Don't do it, as highway patrol people are especially bad about stacking up a ton of little violations if given permission to go looking for them.

With all the shootings lately cops are VERY concerned about people going from A to B carrying weapons.   Be very polite, but firm --- no searching your car.   If they insist on searching anyway, ask what gives them reasonable cause to do so and do not refute what they say as you ARE going to court now and YOU WILL NEED A DEFENSE LAWYER .   It is time to ask for your lawyer as you disagree that they have any probable cause and then SHUT UP TOTALLY.

Faced with a dubious car search of a knowledgeable, lawyered up traffic stop, most cops will give up, write you the ticket and let you go.  

Unless you did something to give them probable cause, that is -- so drive somewhat carefully and don't do anything stupid.

You are living in the Obama Age -- be smart about it.

actually I was referring to anyone you might be compelled to 'show' your knife to
in the eyes of the law it's about the same thing
but the goons'd be a good choice to choot, too
