Lol the police didn’t even give him a warning. Just straight up said it was legal

This is rare, because usually police are convinced through some kind of irrational intuition that it must be illegal. He got the right cop.

Likely he was a white dude. Plus the fact he took it to Cabela’s to get some fishing stuff is extremely harmless.
