Is it against the law to carry guns know matter how many in your car, I dont know the circmstances but i bet the NRA will be all over this one. People this is America I get up every morning put get dressed put my 45 in a inside paints holsters concealed, I also have a gun and cashin my safe in my car with a 9mm in it and a 22magnum, Is this against the law not that I can recall, I also have a permit never had a speeding ticket or arrested in my life. Now the reason I do it (which is no ones business , I own a small buisness in Pensacola for 50 years that is in one of the roughest neiborhoods ,the crime has grown around me shold I have to tell a cop this), the reason im packing everday. I will not give in. i dont know everything here but 150 rounds is nothing. I think it is a major screw up.

multiple handguns, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, multiple ammunition clips, tasers, police handcuffs, brass knuckles and “suspicious” solid black clothing, gloves and hoodies. The passenger claimed the guns belonged to him, and he produced a valid weapons permit.

Officers also located a paper bag containing $8,400 in $100 bills inside the vehicle. One of the men told a story about having IRS troubles and dealing in cash to avoid problems with the agency. The cash was not in the vehicle when it was stopped Thursday morning.

Multiple SIM cards — memory chips that allow cell phones to switch numbers and identifiable information instantly — were visible in the vehicle Wednesday afternoon, along with a laptop computer and multiple wireless internet modems

Story does not add up, if you or I had these in our vehicle, we would be interrogated and put under the jail!!! Very very fishy!!!

Honestly as suspicious as it sounds, maybe they are both gun enthusiests and shoot at the range is their hobby. They had their papers, no harm done. Though i’m glad the Police is doing their job.

“If tutoring don’t work out, we can go into another line of work, better bring the right tools.”

Imaginary thought process.

response to megan
i agree i would not let them take my firearms if you look at the pics.it looks like they only had four firearms my dad was a Lt. with a sherriffs dept. in La. and i still think some of the cops around here think they can do whatever they want by intimidation. and i do only mean SOME not all.

Yeah, WHY WERE THEY SEARCHED IN THE 1ST PLACE? WHAT GAVE THEM PROBABLE CAUSE?

I’m still trying to figure out why they were searched in the first place. Ive never been searched at a traffic stop. Then it wasn’t enough that they had permits, and were searched twice with no cause for arrest. They had another agency come in and seize perfectly legal guns, and people are ok with this?! I’m all for heightened security and if they were to get on school property the cops could’ve immediately searched them and arrested them with cause if they had the weapons.

I agree it is suspicious, but that’s not illegal. Maybe they were Fbi or something but this story and the people who are ok with legal guns being seized and gun owners being stalked by the police are just a way to get the public to support their own loss of rights. The government will never say “everyone turn in your guns” there’d be too much backlash. They just chip away at your rights little by little in the interest of your “safety”

Look around. Its everywhere. Remember when you could go to the beach without helicopters and 4 wheeler’s patrolling?

They made the mistake of driving in alabama while black. I hope they are undercover FBI and those bozo cops from flomaton get put down a notch. If you don’t let them search your car for a traffic stop, they have probable cause to search your car. Hitler and Stalin used the same logic.

The Tri City area is just one place I simply avoid. It is easy enough to just detour
around the whole ball of wax.

I hope these two have learned a valuable lesson about driving through small towns.
All those wasted man hours, kids missing school just pick up I-10 in Mobile.

Even though we may not like their looks, where they are from and what they have
in their possession, if they are legal well then they are legal. Live with it.
