Is This Dumb, Or What?

[dustoffer]

DC police arresting folks with expended "bullet casings"? What's next, arrow shafts or crossbow bolts?

I'd be in a heap of trouble if they searched my truck--I even might have live ammo in it.

You expected more from D.C.?

These lunatics are out of control. Really a empty brass casing is seen as something dangerous so a person is arrested a tagged as a criminal the rest of his life?

Holy crap that's why I live in Texas.

Oh wow!!! They would call in the FBI, National Guard and S.W.A.T. If they checked my truck.

Another reason I hope I never go back to DC. New York and Chicago are no better.

What's their reasoning?

What's their reasoning?

It is against their city ordinance for "transporting ammo".

They call a spent shell casing "ammo".

How would you 'transport' ammo if you were going on a hunting trip?

According to the article, it has to be out of reach of the driver and in a "special case".

I am assuming in a locked ammo box in the trunk or bed.
