I live in Arkansas and had my Garand shipped to my office in Tennessee. No problems at all.

Well...... At least it's in writing now. I received a 5 minute sermon in August, 2008 from a trooper because I didn't notify him. I guess they can just make up the rules as they go along.

Badges I think that the CCW badges have no place. I will also add that a badge itself means nothing. It is completely appropriate to ask any person who carries a badge for photo identification as real evidence of the person's position.

Mike, I felt there was nothing to gain by engaging in an argument with an officer at midnight on a dark two lane road. I did however follow up with the state police office and received the response as noted in my original post.

Thanks for the clarification. No harm done.

Lots of interesting responses here. As to the valid identification being displayed with the license; while I can find no legal definition of proper identification, my new license is issued by the State of Arkansas and it has the same photo that is on my drivers license. Unless I can find...

Treo, It just troubles me to have my children see an officer act that way as I teach them to respect authority.

To those who would prefer the lecture to the ticket - Speeding is a traffic violation. I think that being accused of wrongdoing as it relates to a weapon is much more serious than an speeding ticket. As I stated above, I'd gladly taken the citations for the items where I was in the wrong. I...

Nail on the head Treo. His job is enforcement. I am pretty sure that there is no statute in Arkansas law that gives him the authority to lecture me for breaking the law; or NOT breaking the law in this case. Maybe I'm making more out of this, but I was also not happy about him behaving...

I did have that thought when I didn't get a ticket. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that he didn't ticket me. I guess the second round of the lecture was what pushed it over the top for me. If I am polite an courteous, I expect the same.

I would have gladly taken the tickets for those issues rather than the lecture about the law that I didn't break. His job is enforcement; not punishment. I take responsibility for the fact that I was speeding.

I made that point in my email to the state police. I handed it over to him within 15 seconds of his arrival at my vehicle.

I'm just venting here. I was stopped for speeding last weekend by an Arkansas State Trooper. As it was dark out, I did everything by the book. Put the truck in park, turn on interior lights, retrieved my wallet before he exited his patrol car, and kept my hands in plain sight. When he...

Great I love the one with your son. You can never start too early. You can ask my boys (6 and 4) if a gun is loaded and they will respond "Of course it is; All guns are always loaded" Great job.

My son is beating cancer 223, My son, Jack, is almost two years off treatment for stage III nephroblastoma (wilm's tumor). During the heat of his battle, he showed me that he was tougher that I have been or will ever be. My entire family is praying for your son, you, and your family...
