Dude from Vegas brings a rifle to 1515? Modern China? WTF?
Nothing good happens after midnight…
Good job LE! …. now Becton press to the full extent of the law!
“exhaustive investigation”? You bet! That would be me.
If I was a detective I’d always a search for suspects in the Hawaiian Islands or maybe Barbados for a week or so first, just so I could rule those out… and if I knew one was in Vegas I’d make sure it took me two or three days to find him there before I had to bring him back, just to be certain I’d done everything just right.
To funny
I have fallen behind on the rules of etiquette. It used to be we left our rifles in the vehicle when headed into town to eat. It seems these days people want to carry them which brings up, when eating at a casual dining spot in central CC county do you sling your rifle over the back of the chair if the restaurant does not provide a rack? I assume since it’s casual dining they don’t have coat check person who have a rack in the coat closet.
