As some of you know, I had two coppers round at my house a couple of months ago, checking up on guns. I posted something in the general section about it. Anyhow, this morning I was taking the little Slavia down to my niece. I had it wrapped it brown paper and taped up and it was then in a gunslip. I was walking up the road and a police landrover drove past me AND I just knew they were going to turn round and stop me. They asked me what was in the case and I told them and told them it was wrapped up and explained why. They took my word it was a break barrel air rifle when I broke the barrel through the brown paper and they did not ask me to unwrap it. Then it was the what have you got in your pockets etc. I gave them my name and address and showed them some Id. I gave them my jacket to check and then they frisked me. I think that the coppers hands lingered a bit too long on my a-se but it probably made him happy. Anyhow, even in deepest Salford people dont walk round with an illegal firearm in a case---they have it in the boot of their clapped out BMW or kept in the girlfriends attic I think this was a case of "There has been terrorist activity and we had better stop someone to get something on our books----better stop a white man rather than an a muslim in Cheetham hill because we dont want to seem racist"-----anyone else have this happen to them recently?
