The cruiser was there before he could finish loading and get downstairs.:theband: The cops took the perp away .... they checked that he had an FAC (Firearms Acquisition Certificate); checked that his firearms and ammunition storage conformed to the law; and went on their merry way.

Not all police officers can expect to be graduates in this difficult area, and can make mistakes in their interpretion of such, which is addressed when a case gets to court ... the next step in protecting our back up services (the police) in what I consider, the best justice system in the world.
