Someone I know got stopped almost every week because he had several guns registered. We have to transport them unloaded and separate from the
ammunition. And only on direct way to hunting grounds or shooting club. Direct way. They would run his license through the computer and it would tell
them he had guns registered. They would stop him and ask catch questions first, then check on his trunk to get an "AHA! GOTCHA" moment.
The ways it would go down he said:
First they ask where he is coming from and going to, always (from top of my head). Remember you can only have them with you for direct in route
transportation between home, shooting club (and gunsmith).
-If he refused, they would pull the "we know you have guns registered, step out of the car and open the trunk".
-If he said like "from work", they would be like "we know you have guns registered..."
-If he said like "from the shooting range", they would be like "yes, we know you have guns registered" but now it was different. Whenever he, by
occasion or not, was on a road where he could be considered "on his way to the club", they would have little interest in his trunk.
They only had, if they knew they would # him, if he had the gun(s) with him.
I once asked him why I don't see him in the shooting club anymore, because we used to meet there often. He said he was just fed up being stopped
almost every week, so he have up on his hobby. We're in Germany, the gun culture is different here but the police tactics are the same.
