However over 20 years ago now I had been drinking scotch and certainly should not have been behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. I was on Mitcham Road heading towards Wantirna which is a straight stretch of road with no turnoffs. And there in the roadway was booze bus. I was driving a green Ford Fairlane Marquis . My whole life flashed before my eyes because I was working two part time jobs to fund my retirement and blow me down I was waved through. I couldn't believe my luck because I would have been over the limit. It scared the hell out of me and from that day forward I have NEVER driven a car if I have had more than a glass of wine.......even at Christmas. So there is an example of someone learning his lesson and I didn't even get caught.That night I certainly had an angel on my shoulder.

At a glance it looks/sounds like it might be something fancy, but other than what's mentioned above it's totally stock. Brakes, springs etc. etc. all good, nothing close to being defect.
Anyway, in the past I had an old corolla, and wouldn't see a cop for months at a time and never got pulled over. Since getting the brighter car I get stopped maybe once a week.
The thing that got to me today was I was pulled over twice in the same trip about 20 minutes apart. I told the second cop his mate had pulled me over 20 minutes ago and we'd just done all this, but he didn't want to hear it and I had to go through it all again.
Rant over

It disgust me that they assume a LAFO (who's obviously not a convicted criminal or wouldn't have a licence!)is going to have a loaded unsecured firearm.I wonder if they have the same flags on criminals who have been convicted of firearms offences, but never held a licence?
