Fourth, are all the firearms, legal firearms?

So, I'm going to assume I know what Byte is asking; he was stopped for a traffic violation, gave consent to search, isn't a convicted felon and there aren't any illegal controlled substances in the vehicle. In this situation, I would probably clear the serial numbers of the firearms to determine if they have been reported stolen and barring that, I would return Byte's documents to him and wish him a good day (maybe write a ticket...it is Byte after all )
hardy har-har

my point, more to the point, is; when was the last time you pulled someone over and after running background and plates, etc. walked up to return the license, registration and POI and asked:
"Do you have a tunafish sandwich or any Grey Poupon in the car?"
"Do you have a Donut or any other pastries in the car?"


But I tell you what... I have yet get pulled over and the cop doesnt ask if I have any drugs or alcohol or Guns.

Hint: NEVER reply, "got a fishing license?"
They get really nasty with the taser
