If you read the entire story, you would have read the part about how the police pulled him over for a traffic violation. Most likely because they are not allowed to pull him over because a third-person saw his gun. I've been pulled over before and the first words are "I have a concealed weapon in the car". They ask for my permit, I show it. No problem. Then of course, my pistol doesn't have it's numbers scratched off.
No, actually the story never said he was pulled over for a traffic violation. They said... and I quote.
"Police said officers, responding to a report of a man with a gun in the parking lot, spotted a weapon in Wallace's car
when they pulled him over for a traffic stop."
No where in that sentence does it say they pulled him over for a violation. If they did in fact have a legal reason to pull him over... why wasn't he then charged with the traffic violation as well? And to the other ignorant poster that claims lawful firearm carriers are paranoid. I bet people think your paranoid for being prepared for whatever may or may not come. I bet you have health insurance... are you paranoid? I bet you have smoke alarms... Are you expecting your house to burn down? Here's an idea. Go out and get insurance on your house, but only for the day it catches fire. That way you can save a boat load of money. Oh wait... you have insurance because you don't know if or when any damage may happen to your property. If you can find merit in having property insurance, then you can consider my firearm my personal life insurance. I know... you liberals would rather die than carry a firearm for self defense. I mean the police will be there to protect you won't they. Here's a really great idea. Call the police and tell them to carry their firearms only when they know they are going to need it. See how well that goes over. It is obvious you have a bias toward guns. It's okay. That gun on the man's belt won't hurt you. I feel bad for you being afraid of an object. Then again I guess you could be worse. Like that maury show with the guy that had a fear of peaches.
