I would respectfully request that each and every poster before me on this thread read the book "The Great New Orleans Gun Grab". First, it is informational, as to how totally crooked a police force can be. Second, it will tell you how few and nebulous your real rights are, if in a Katrina/New Orleans type of situation. The "law" doesn't mean a damn thing, if the "lawmen" don't want to respect it. Your property, including guns especially, may be up for grabs by the biggest grabber available - be it NOPD, New Mexico State Police (implicated), New York State Police (implicated), or whomever is the "big dog" on site. A sad, but true happening, that is still undergoing legal action to recover the basically destroyed guns that were confiscated - at least those that haven't joined the police "private collections". Assuming that the narrative that is in the book is true (and I believe it to be so), it paints a really dark picture of our "rights", when under extreme circumstances.
