b ut you can bet when one happens it shatters the lives of internet revolutionaries everywhere
Talk to the guy. Talk his freaking ear off.
Well the law types that speak on this topic advise keeping your mouth shut so that is probably sound advice.
You might just talk yourself into a ride somewhere you didn't plan on going.
That's just the beginning, get creative. Ramble on.... and on.... and on....If he asks about my Shotgun News, Guns&Ammo or Soldier of Fantasy magazine, I'll immediately say something along the lines of, "Can you believe these prices, these days?" and ask him his views on what gun is best for zombies. Ask him how his deer season went, and what's his pet load?
What, you can't think of any inane things to say to somebody that won't incriminate you?
Like the old joke goes; Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
Live in Chicago a long time, then?You're painting a enormously exaggerated picture of life in Chicago.
You'd be mistaken there.They might not have the Second Amendment in Chicago, but they do still have the first.

If you haven't lived in Chicago, you don't understand. The Chicago PD once "arrested" a PAINTING from the Chicago Art Institute because it was disrespectful of a deceased mayor.Seriously, I've lived all over, and spent quite a lot of time visiting in Connecticut, New York, and even Massachusetts. I've lived in California.
Law enforcement is very concerned with what library books you check out. Re: Patriot Act.i doubt law enforcement would give you a hard time for a book. I would think its more likely a manager at the store would ask you to leave.

Being as I work in an extremely anti-gun environment, I may well get a call to check on someone reading a gun magazine. Guess what? If dispatched, I'd go. I'd probably try to track down the complainant and ask what the problem is.
Deanimator said:This presumes that you are stopped while going from point a to point b. What if on the other hand, you're at a location carrying on a legal activity and you're subjected to undesired police attention? Say for instance (as is almost always the case) I'm sitting in a restaurant or coffeeshop reading "Smallarms Review" or some $75 book on the Maxim gun. What do you do if for whatever reason, a cop comes up and starts asking you intrusive and or hostile questions based on your completely legal firearms related reading material? I don't want to ask, "Am I free to leave?" since I don't WANT to leave. I'm eating a meal or drinking a cup of coffee. I don't want to ditch my coffee or meal because somebody's giving me an unjustified hard time.
