The story was meant to simply be an illustration of one of many ways a car can be legally searched without a warrant, nothing more. I'm surprised the conversation lasted as long as it did before the idiot-fest began.

18-12-214
(3) (a) A person who may lawfully possess a handgun may carry a handgun under the following circumstances without obtaining a permit and the handgun shall not be considered concealed:
(II) The handgun is in the possession of a person who is legally engaged in hunting activities within the state.
1) Bailey you ass! It took me 6 more weeks to rent that apartment!
