Answer this - What was the sheriff supposed to do? Should he have just let them go? (there is not one shred of evidence they are NOT trespassing remember)

It was a complicated situation and I would have been pizzed too if I got frisked but I bet you I would have written permission next time I went out there

dammit, this thing is gonna go 20 pages!

In this country, you don't need proof to be exonerated they need to PROVE you violated the law. It's a little odd I know, but try it you will like it. I know guys who have gone they're whole career and never drawn a weapon on someone. Nowadays, with the "felony car stop" the situation is escalated before it starts. Guns should not clear leather until the need to potentially kill someone arises.

How do those European cops even function without sidearms in a violent and hostile environment that is crawling with weapons? Tact, politeness and professionalism, that's how.

What would those guys be doing with guns in the woods during hunting season? Get a grip.......um hunting perhaps?
