I was just speaking with a friend of mine who is in the process of moving to Lubbock, and has already had a confrontation with the local constabulary. She was moving some of her firearms into the new house, when a police officer pulled up and started asking her questions about who she was and what she was doing.
Now, all the rifles she was moving were encased in triple locked hard cases, and she also had a backpack (with the handguns) over her shoulder, but the officer wanted to know everything about them. She explained the situation and invited the officer inside to see that all the rifles were locked with a trigger lock (she still has a couple of kids at home).
He asked if all the guns were hers, and she replied that they belonged to herself and her husband. She also offered to show him her knife collection, but he declined.
She told the officer that the only firearm she keeps ready at all times was a 9mm. The officer asked if she had a license, to which she replied that she did (and yes, I already brought up the point that he had no business asking her about a license for carrying in her own home).
I told her this is just one adjustment she will have to make when moving from the boonies to the city.
The really sad thing is, it was a couple of Texas Tech students that called the cops!
You'd think she was moving to Austin!
