Just all know after the grilling he gave me my ticket handed me my gun and just asked that I wait till he was gone to return it to its rightful and proper condition cocked and locked.
This bothers me... The officer didn't understand the 1911, yet somehow he managed to pull the magazine, and in one form or another ejected a round, where the safety must have been set to FIRE to pull the slide back.
How was this accomplished?
I am just curious because I carry 1 of 3 guns I own like this every day.
Also once I was stopped in buck skins like Davey Crocket, and the officer went bonkers on a flintlock pistol unloaded (thank god) and in plain site, while I was passing from a event in Pa, thru Mass (the soviet republic) to home in NH.
I was torn from my vehical, as I pulled out from a private restraunt parking lot for no more than the clothing I was in. The officer told me I was a suspious looking character. LOL I might have been, but I would like to know when the last time a guy in full blown skins commited a crime.
I don't think the eattery called the cops on me because they seemed pleased to fill my horses bucket with water twice from a hose outside. Also I ate in my truck cab.
Now the officer had no bee's wax doing what he did, and had less messing with a flintlock. Once he discovered he couldn't open the breech he held the piece to his EYE looking right down the bore like you do with a telescope.
Nothing I could say ment a thing to this officer, and after he did that I was in shock. At that point I demanded to be let go, or be arrested and have the horse placed in some form of care SPCA was mentioned.
But I never expected officers would not understand the 1911 frame..
