Cac cop, especially if they were young would be
when they saw it. Would be happy because they had another brother hemmed up on a charge. Then the senior officer would finish looking in the system for my record and tell the rookie to take the cuffs off and give my gun back. The rookie would be
"WTF!" Serge would tell them since my record clean...they can't bother me.
Here's a jewel: Here in the South, you can buy a rifle at 18. A choppa is a rifle.
You only need a license if you want to conceal your gun.
